Lip Lift: Stories

Thank you for your update snow princess! Im glad to hear that you are still very pleased with the results, i love your pictures!

Hi ladies! I've been receiving a lots of comments reharding my lip lift, thank you all. I still DO LOVE the result, can't be happier, it really change my face in a good way. I have had none problem whatsoever, llip movement is excellent, smile is beautiful and scar (what scar? lol) is not even exist at least in my vision. I honestly can't remember anymore my "old lips" because my "new lips" look and feel completely natural. Thank you so much Dr Svehlak :)

Snowprincess Sorry if you already mentioned it, I mean to inquire if you are still pleased with your lip lift by dr. S. I love your pictures and was curious how is it going now after a year+ of the procedure? thanks!

I'm happy for you that ece surgeon cut back or muscle also?

Hi Snowprincess, I would like to know more about your lip lift! I have kind of a "shrinking" upper lip and have toyed with this idea since I learned that there WAS such a procedure. I really don't like fillers much, but when I press the upper lip just below the nose, I seem to achieve the look that you have. Of course, I would be nervous about it being "overdone", but your results are certainly encouraging! Thanks for posting, it helps a lot!

Nansue, I would like to know who you went to see in the Dallas area that quoted you a fee for 5 grand. I am in Tx. and I do not know of any doctor in the State who has been lauded for LL surgery skills. I have seen only one doctor listed on here (DR. K) from that area. A patient of his posted her story here. I thought she looked really great but she was unhappy with the columella. I had called his office and they stated that he no longer offered the surgery? That was approx. 2 yrs ago. 5,000 dol. seems like quite a bit for someone who is not "skilled" in that particular surgery ( has done Many said procedures) and is known for it. Did he/she show you pics of surgeries he/she performed? Ask to meet a couple of said patients personally if possible. You may send me a private message if you wish. Thanks for your help. Best wishes.

Your lip result looks exactly like what I want & need. But, a Dallas surgeon just gave me a quote for over $5,000 JUST for the lip lift. ?

Definitely beautiful results and incredible result only after a week. Perfect tooth show!

I am obsessed with the outcome. I have been trying to find a surgeon who would be able to perform similar results in the NY/ Long Island area. Congrats on finding a great surgeon:)

You look amazing and they look totally natural. I am so happy that this surgery went well for you. :)

Amazing!!! Your lip before looks very similar to how mine looks now! I have always wanted a toothier smile when I talk, sing, smile etc!! I live in Jupiter, FL and have been looking for a great Dr. in or around my area. If any plastic surgeons on here or anyone wants to write me and let me know who does great lip lifts or recommend someone in or around my area please do so! I am so ready for this procedure!!! :) Thank you!

Thanks for the last photo, Snowprincess. Has your scar turned white yet? It's hard to tell from the picture. I've been reading about scar tattooing, which can make the scar the same color as the surrounding skin if the scar is too white. Though I'm more worried that it will be too red! I'll be doing a phone consult with Dr. Svehlak based on your great results!

Love the new look

Hi everyone, this was definitely a well done lip lift. I did a lot of research for mine...decided to go with Baltimore and though the results aren't bad, they are not great either. I am only 25 years old and I had it done because it was the single thing that I could do to balance out proportions of my facial features. Despite the amount of skin cut, the tooth show is minimal...and the doc can't take any more directly from under neath my nose or else my lips are going to be touching the nose lol. So in this case, I think muscle hemming should've been carried out. One of the doctors who specialized in rhinoplasty and he also started doing skin only lip lifts told me that he can't do it for me because I require more than just skin only cut and he doesn't specialize in that. I was kinda upset since he was reputed to be amazing with producing no scars due to his suture techniques. Anyways, this doctor I chose also had great reputation...but honestly guys, it's important to have a doctor that consistently produces no scars on people (especially young people). Yup, I have scars and 7 days after the surgery it definitely didn't look like Snowprincess here. My swelling was so bad even though I prepared for it really well. Snow princess can you tell me if your scar continued to look this good despite being in a high tension (high movement) area? I had another suture done before also on the face and it was so well done that you can't even see it. There are enough journal articles out there that describes what gives wounds the best sort of healing...good skills yes, and particular techniques including the use of permanent sutures for the outside (to be removed later). In my case apparently there are sutures on the inside that brings surface skin adjacent to each other, and so the skin was sutured with dissolvable stitches. NOT GOOD! I would've healed better for sure like my other stitches (not visible) if this wasn't done. So guys worrying about scars, please ask how they intend to do the suturing and their past experiences. If they say, well, scar is not an issue but it's all perspective...a woman was upset by the tiniest looking shade of a scar and was complaining - that should've been my clue to get out. Hope this helps!
