Hey, you look great! Very subtle and pretty. You say you had 3mm removed--what does your distance measure now?

Hi, I am looking to have Dr Horndeski do my lip lift. Are you still happy with the results? I noticed you and another patient wished for more skin to be removed. Do you still feel that way?

The actual procedure lasted maybe 15 minutes. The worse part is the numbing shots. After that, no pain. I started to get achy on the way home so i took a pain pill and was fine. Eating is awkward and not blowing your nose is frustrating. Waiting for swelling to go down to see actual results. My doctor was conservative so I may want more of a lift. I've been wanting this for years and I'm glad I did it.

Oooh, it looks good already! Had you been doing lip injections before deciding on the lift or did you go right for the gusto?

I had been doing injections and was looking like a duck :) I knew the lip lift would give me the result I had been trying for with injections but I was scared of the scarring. I will say, the last injections I got were just around my lip line and I really love those because I had no lip line. I feel like the injections around the line has given me definition and I don't have to wear lip liner. Before, my lipstick would just bleed around my mouth. But anytime I had injections in the actual lip, they just stuck out instead of rolling the lip up. The lift has pulled the lip up. I'll be anxious to see if I still want the border injections after having this done.

Can you describe the lip line injections? Does it give you more red (vermillion border?

I talked with Dr. Horndeski and just got a good feeling about scarring. He is an expert in small areas. I also wanted a very subtle result and he was onboard with that. I think I had maybe 3mm removed...not much at all. Yes, he used underlying sutures which will dissolve in 6 months. The only suture that you could see was just sticking out the sides and was easily removed. I am 6 days in and really don't have a noticeable scar. I will post another pic. I am local so I didn't have to travel.
