I am extremely pleased with my lip lift. I had been thinking of a lip lift for a year because I was becoming increasingly insecure about my appearance, especially the space between my nose and mouth. I turned 50 and, through my researcher, read that this space gets longer as we age.
I also have a weak chin and was looking to have a chin augmentation as well. My chin reasearch led me to maxilofacial/ plastic surgeon Stephen Baker. Dr. Baker specializes in reconstructive surgery and is quite renowned for his work on cleft pallets. Although I didn't see any lip lifts in his photo gallery, I none the less felt confident that he can perform a desirable lift lift. Boy was my instinct correct! My scare is virtually unnoticeable. In fact, had I not had simultaneous procedures, I feel that I could go out in public. As much as I hated my mouth, the thought of a noticeable scar was equally daunting. If you are considering a lip lift, I gladly recommend Dr. Stephen Baker.

iporil63,
Congratulation on your LL. I can't even see any stitches and the incision is barely detectable. My lips look very similar to yours in the bf photo, and we have the same skin tone. I look forward to seeing your end result. I hope you will add more photos as you heal. Are you doing anything special to help with the healing process? Did your PS offer any suggestions to help with healing? Can you see a difference in your profile as well? Blessing.

Thank you, VILLE31. I am so pleased with my results. The picture that I have posted is literally 5 hours out of surgery. I tried to post more pics but for reasons was not able. I'll keep trying however. I love my profile now. I had a chin augmentation too as well as an eyelid lift. I highly recommend my PS and may go back for more work on my lips. My lip is still pretty long but it looks 100% better. I am going to talk to my PS about a corner lift. I'm obsessed with lips these days. Are you considering a LL?

iporil63,
Thanks so much for the profile photo, very nice. I have been considering the LL surgery for the last 3-4 yrs. I have health issues (Auto Immune Diseases, and in constant pain with fatique) that have thus far kept me from pursuing said surgery. I see all the lovely results that our RealSelf Ghirls and Guys are getting and I am thrilled. So I will continue to cheer and encourage........until then??? I would love to have it done, especially now that PS skills have improved. Seeing your post is especially encouraging as your bf photo is similar to mine, as well as skin tone. I keep telingl myself that I'm going to get off all the Rx just long enough to get the surgery done. I am happy to say that I am finally having better days, so who knows! :-) Thank you again for posting your journey with us, you are appreciated. Many Blessings to you.

Was your lip lift sub nasal? can you post a front view so we can see where your incision is?

Sorry, I saw the front view. LOL!

No problem,Maybellineo. It's easy to miss because the incision is virtually invisible. I am amazed at the results.
