WOW! Your scar looks great and you can hardly see it. Im going to your doctor! Please keep us updated on your healing process and if you notice any nostril changes. Thanks for the updated photos. Looking good :)
Thank you so much! If your going to go to my Doctor would you want to meet me for lunch, I would be happy to show you in person.
yes I would, and thanks! I don't think I will be going anytime soon but as soon as I am able to, I will let you know. Thanks alot!
WOW is right. You look great and your smile says just that! You said that are getting tx. with a laser. The next time you are in to see your doctor please find out the name of laser. Just wondering of its purpose in your tx pigmentation? Congrats. Thanks for the update.
Ok I will ask him what type of laser. I know it's what they use on the entire face to reduce lines and wrinkles.
Thank you so much for the support it means alot to have you all agree that this was a success!! :)

Juviderm. Its still nice and full * months now! I love my new lip!

Hi, This is Sandy in Texas. Eight months I had a really bad lip lift done. I won't go into the details, but I love your new lip too. I have already called your doctor but I am calling again Monday morning a book an appointment. This is the widest lip lift I have seen.. Most all of the others have a high peak in the middle, as do I. The stitches are so tight they almost look seared together. This is really nice work, and like you said it looks so natural, not surgical. I had my mess in July of 2011 and I know a revision is not as easy as a virgin lip, but I have confidence Dr. Perenack can make me where I can live with it. Now I look surgical. Did the lip procedure hurt? I hope he is good at the shots. I know he was a dentist. Can you see your scar at all? Your pictures look like you were pretty presentable in two weeks. I am so happy for you. Bad surgery is so devistating. Another r/s member went to the same Dr. She has already been for her revision and this new doctor made a mess also. Her surgery was last May and she is still self conscious. Your pictures were so encouraging. Snowprincess's surgery looks good too. Do you think your lip doesn't look hiked in the middle because he didn't take much out? If too much is taken out in the middle it makes the sides look sad and distorted. the crack from the top lip and the bottom is not straight across any longer . Again if you can brag on or elaborate at all on your doctor I would very much appreciate any input. How good of a eye man. I would like to have the bottoms done. Thanks, Sandy
Hi, this is Sandy in Texas again. I ment to say. There was another Real Self member that went to the same doctor I did and he ruined the bottom of her nose, not that she went to your doctor and then had to have a revision. I don't want to miss lead any of the other girls as I think your doctor is an artist. Bye for now Sandy
Hey Sandy! I'm so sorry you are having to go thru all of that! I can't imagine and it's your face so it's not like you can hide it! I was following your story when I had my lip done and actually told my Dr. what had happened to you and May so that I could make sure he wouldn't do that to me. He reassured me that a little goes a long way, he was actually the one that helped me realize my teeth needed to be addressed. He says its all about proportions. I would love to meet you for lunch so you can see it in person. The pictures don't do it justice. I would trust my DR. recommendation on what you should do next he truly is gifted,talented and honest. I was asking him about other proceedures and he told me I didn't need that and he was right.
Thanks for the reassurance in Dr Perenack. Your stitches, your amount of swelling, and end result are so great and really shows what a good surgeon this doctor. I would love to meet you for lunch and see you in person as well, but I am Lubbock Texas. I would like to talk to you. I am not sure how to get you my number? I guess I will send you a private message. I am glad you followed my nightmare as it is rather hard and long to explain. May went to have a revision in Beverly Hills three months ago. The doctor did tack her columella back to the septum, but he then had to raise the sides so the middle wouldn't be to high. porportion like you said. Her lip looks good but it did before the revision. Her mess was in the bottom of the nose. She sent me a picture with the stitches. He put the stitches real far apart instead of real close together so between each stitch there is tension on the incision.it. They are individual stitches with a knot for each stitch . It is not smooth at all, all knotted up and below the bottom of each nostrils on the farthest edge at the end of the nose, is a raised knot so to speak, like a colorless mole. One side you might say there was a pimple there and you picked it and made a scar, but not both nostils.. Like she says, it screams suregery and it does.. This was just crappy work to say the least. She paid him about six thousand or the revision and she is running out of lip to raise. Her depression level is bad and she can't find the right doctor. When you finally run out of space between the lip and the nose, you are in bad trouble..
I told her when I went to see Dr. Perenack I would take her pictures as his office girl said he wanted the patient to come in. He won't jut let me send pictures and that is fine with me. I guess he doesn't go for the picture sending process. Thanks again for responding, Sandy

Who was your dr?
Wow! What a difference. You look 15 years younger. A lot of people have had bad results with this. I had a great experience with my doctor in San Diego. I'm so glad yours went as well as mine did. Congratulations!
Hi, this is Sandy in Texas. Is your Dr, Steve Laverson. I talked to him on the phone. I loved him. How did your scar turn out. I so happy to hear that your lip turned out good. Aug 2911"s lip turned out well. Dr. Perenack. I interviewed with him on the 25th of april I liked him very much, but what was even more impressive was he mentioned a doctor near my home and I called that office and asked his office manager if she knew Dr, Perenack and told her I had just gotten back from seeing him. she said yes she knew him and she loved him, that he was an artist and she would let him do anything to her, that the /dr. she worked for had trained dr. pernack and she had seen his work. That eased my mind about him. But ::Leverson I really liked on the phone. bye for now Sandy

So, I had my laser resurfacing done! I was not prepaired for another week of recovery. This proceedure also causes lots of swelling and is painful! The price we pay for beauty!

Your lip lift looks good. I am also considering getting one done but I am still in the process of doing research on the after effects. Have you noticed any difference with your nostril shape?
Well, at first the whole area is swollen nostrils included, but my Dr. cut under my nose and he did not disturb my nostrils. I just had the laser resurfacing done to make sure there was no trace of scaring and this proceedure has also caused more swelling in my upper lip. I will post a new pic in a couple weeks once it settles down. Over all I am pleased. My Dr.is a perfectionist its all about balance.
Thanks for your response ;)
Did you do a lot of research before you got your lip lift? I really really really want to get one done as well. Please let me know if you notice your nostril holes becoming more noticeable. I have read that some people after getting a lip lift and once everything heels, have noticed that there nostril holes have become pulled down more so it looks like they are larger and more open. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that this doesn't happen to you and if everything turns out right, I may just be going to your doctor! Lookin good!

I highly recommend my Doctor! His background is he is a dental surgeon along with his degree in plastics specializing in the face. He's also an artist. My nostrils are normal, my sister had this done first and hers are fine too! Dr. Pernack's nurse Tracy had the lip lift and it looks so good and natural. I got alot of info from this site ,but was really going off my sisters results and experience that made me choose my Dr.I was very clear I wanted a very natrual look and it really is starting to look good! I'm so excited!
Aug2911,
Glad to hear all is going well for you...looking good! What type of laser (name)is your doctor using on you? Could you see results after the first tx? I am looking forward to seeing more photos. Thanks for sharing.

Hi, Did you have the muscle cut just under your nose as well, or did you just have the skin excised in a "bull horn" incision. I know that term sounds crude, but thats what that incision is referred as.
Just the skin was cut no muscle. Yes, I promise to post more pics soon. I'm a realtor and I've been crazy busy not to mention the holiday stuff! LOL!!
Im sorry, forgot to tell you Congrats! on such a beautiful outcome. I am also hoping to get this done, after my nose reconstruction.
