Okay, I'm going back for my revision on Thursday! I am more scared this time, because I'm doing it under a local instead of general anesthesia :( Has anyone had it done under a local? I would prefer the general, but although the revision is free, to go under again would cost $800, which I can't afford. So instead I'm taking Valium and hoping that I feel out of it enough to not realize what's going on.

You look amazing! Would you mind sharing who your doctor is? I am local and looking to get one done.

SJGirl this is Sandy From Texas. I know I wanted to know who your doctor was, but also how much was the lip lift. How long before you could go out in public and how long before the scar was able to be covered. Thanks, Sandy

Oh! SJGirl did you check out Austin Weston Group. They are also in Reston Va. I went to see a Fredrick Menick in Tuson Arizona and he referred me to go and see the doctors at Austin Weston for my revision. You might not know but I had a really bad lip lift done in July 2011 and now need a revision. Did your doc shorten the muscle as I am hearing this is a better lift. I don't know it is? Bye Sandy

Today is day 11, and I feel like my lip is dropping. I'm been comparing my pics for the last hour from the days after the surgery to today. I'm definitely obsessing. The doctor said that for 9 out of 10 people, as the swelling decreases, the lip moves upward. I'm afraid that I am the 10th out of 10. It seems like it's pretty much done. I mean, I don't see any more swelling, and I think now it's starting to drop a little. I don't know, but I do know that my doctor is very conservative, and now I'm afraid he didn't take off enough skin. He said it wouldn't be a big deal to come back and take off a little more, but I have no idea how that works. How could it be that simple?

I should also mention that I had the doctor put more Vitrase in my upper lip, when I went to have the sutures out, because I felt like it looked like I still had filler in part of my upper lip, and that it was looking lopsided.
