I've had a botched lip lift that left me with a large depressed scar and nasal pull/ distortion. The procedure was approximately 4 years ago. Seeking revision. I've also had rhinoplasty and am not pleased with those results either. I've been unsuccessful locating a physician that specializes in revision (at least locally), and none willing to take on both corrective lip lift and rhino. Any advice or recommendations are appreciated!
Its been almost 2 years. This was a procedure suggested by the surgeon to be more youthful and show teeth at repose. I regret it every single day. I feel the stiffness and scarring that has a burning feel to it. I want to get my more natural smile back and improve the scarring and look of nose. Nose feels pulled out and not tucked into base. I have not seeeked the opinion of another plastic surgeon and original surgeon sees nothing wrong. He said nose looks better than before.
I'm scared. My nose looks HUGE, undefined and pig like after my lip lift 12 days ago. Also I'm worried too much skin was taken. I'm comparing photos and really feel that I need professional answers. I checked with my surgeon but all she tells me is give it time, it's not healed yet. Are my sills gone? Can my nose regain some of it's definition? Can it be surgically restored if not? Help! I was never informed about what a lip lift can do to the shape of a nose!
Why does the incision of a bull horn lip lift is more common to be made below the nostrils and not inside although it looks way better if made inside the nostrils? If made inside does it distort the nostrils or make the nose looks wider??
When I was little I had bad prominent buck teeth that would rest on the outside of my bottom lip when my mouth was relaxed and closed. I received braces (first chunky retainers, then train tracks then regular night time retainers) so my teeth are now straight, and the retainers helped to push my jaw forward a little. However I feel like my lips have a distorted shape and form. Would a lip lift fix this issue or is are there any non-surgical and non invasive solutions?
I had an upper lip lift (with upper eyelid lift and cheek fat transfer) 14 days ago. My nostrils are very wide open, and the edge of the L nostril is distorted at edge/ base. Is this due to swelling in the nasal tip, or is this permanent distortion? There is also some puckering of skin on RHS that is become obvious as swelling goes, will this flatten out by itself same as LHS? When will most of swelling be gone, eg 85% of final result?Really worried about this all .
Hi all, I have a long upper lip (21 mm) and no tooth show when my mouth is in open resting position. I am certain that a lip lift will significantly improve the femininity and overall balance of my face. However, I'm worried about scarring, as I know that younger patients scar worse than older patients. Also, will the scar migrate down with age? Finally, I have a fair amount of nostril show already and am worried about nostril distortion. How is this prevented? Thank you for your time.
Hello all, Recently,I had second lip lift as the results of the first one were dissatisfying (stretched and ugly scar). After second bullhorn, my philtrum is no longer alligned with nostril septum, it is moved slightly to the left and it is bothering me a lot. Please, let me know what I can do to fix that. Any advice would mean a world to me, as my doctors say they did not moved center of philtrum, while I know it is moved.
Hi there, I've been researching lip lifts and i want to ask the professionals. Majority of the before and after photos i see look like the nostrils shape has changed giving it the illusion of a wider nose. Am i analyzing this incorrectly? Or is it possible that the after photo is still swollen? It seems for 80 percent of the after photos the noses look different. Or I'm suspecting that surgeons don't wait a long period for inflammation to go down and take the after photo maybe 3 weeks later
