MY QUESTIONS: For the heave upper lip issue,Can I/should I consider having that filler dissolved? AND, will my nostrils/nose go back to normal? (A reminder that the procedure was done 2 weeks ago). Thanks so much for any feedback.
-- Updated on Jan 20, 2010:
After the upper lip lift I had 3 weeks ago, my nostrils have hard scar tissue inside where the stitches were. This is causing a loss of pliability and are making my nostrils wider and more visible. Does this repair itself over time? I also feel I have too muck thickness in the flesh between my upper lip and nose, resembling what I can only describe as a monkey (possibly a bit harsh). I'm hopeful that this is due to the filler and will repair itself as the filler dissolves.

2 weeks ago I had the upper lip lift (procedure done with the incision under my nose); I had this done for the primary purpose of exposing more of the vermillion of my upper lip.The lip lift is okay, but I am now thick and fleshy in the area between my upper lip and nose, because the doctor also injected filler for the lines I had above my lip. While I used to have feminine features, I now have what I can only describe as a monkey look. My nostrils are also MUCH more visible.If I could turn back time, I likely would have had the upper lip lift done without having filler put into the small lines above my upper lip. With the lip being pulled up, that filler is now almost completely filling the area between my nose and upper lip, and the thick 'monkey' look has changed the integrity of my face. I used to have small, delicate features. Scared to death that my nostrils won't go back to normal, either.

I think its quite feminine , it does calm down after about 3 months x

Wouldn’t the lip lift itself have diminished the lines above your lips? Probably would have been best to wait on fillers until you healed. Good thing fillers are temporary. I’m sure you’ll look great after filler dissolves. Wish u well!

Can you post a before and after picture of the same perspective with the same amount of makeup, lighting etc. It is hard to tell if your nostrils are more visible now, because you are posting a picture looking up at your nostrils. It does seem that you looked good before and had the wrong procedure. I hope you end up happy.

I think it's mostly swelling. But looking at your before and after pictures I don't know why you bother doing that procedure. Your lips were perfect.
