Two years ago, I underwent a Liplift procedure during which dissolvable sutures were used by the doctor. Over time, I developed a wide scar under my nose, which remained red and didn't heal for about 1.5 years. After that period, I noticed white pieces of sutures surfacing on my skin, which I removed with tweezers. Currently, it's been two years since the surgery, and I can feel two bumps on both ends of the scar, which I suspect are the remaining sutures. How can I dissolve them?
I had a lip lift 15 years ago with deep sutures. During over exertive facial exercise, the deep sutures on the right tore. My nose instantly swelled and moved to left and blocked, columellar dropped. Would a needed revision rectify these problems? I had philtrum enhancing originally. My nasal base is loose and nares flare with smiling, talking now. Thanks
Hello, Ive had lip lift 8months ago. Overall im satisfied because it helped with face feminisation (im trans mtf). My concern is a scar that have remained. In first month it looked like a subtle thin line under my nose, but then the inner sutures started to emerge from under the skin, causing the scar to go real bad. I have structured athropic scar thats way thicker than i expected and very visible when i make facial expressions. I did 1 session of CO2 laser, but im considering a revision.
Bullhorn lip lift with dissolvable sutures. Spoke to the doctor today, who had me send pictures via text, said this is normal healing. I just would like to know what other doctors think. I am getting very nervous, the pictures actually don't show the extent of the scar. Very bad track marks, you can literally see every stitch hole and the line. Suggestions/advice...Please
Im 3 weeks post op from a bullhorn lip lift using dissolvable sutures. My scar is raised with visible suture marks around most of my nose. There's a piece of my scar that is especially raised/fibrous where there were sutures insides my nose. Is there anything I can/should do about the scar? Can I expect it to improve with time at all? Also, is it normal that 2 sutures still remain and its not entirely closed? I apologize the pics are so blurry, I cant seem to get good ones with my phone!
Got bullhorn lip lift done. Everything is fine except for 1. the shape of the nostril has been changed, 2. White material came off the scar leaving pinhead sized hole (now yellow fluid filled) and ant bite like pain, 3. a part of suture was left n removed on 2nd week by myself leaving slightly raised portion on the scar. Will it even out? Will the nostril outgrow the cleft like appearance? Why the antbite like pain in the pinhole sized area?
Hello, I got a lip lift almost 3 weeks ago. I am still a bit swollen and my upper lip feels stiff/numb. I realise this is fairly normal, but also suspect I am healing slightly slower than average. I am still trying to limit the movements of my mouth when talking/eating/smiling and still follow a soft food diet to avoid chewing. I'm wondering how much longer should I keep following these precautions? I'm conscious that I have some internal sutures which need to heal.
I had a skin-only LL performed 2 weeks ago, external sutures moved at 5 days post-op. The incision appears to be healing except for a few areas specifically around my nostrils where the incision edges aren't coming together. I asked my PS, she said they would eventually come together but I'm getting nervous. I've attached a photo of one of the incisions. There's no bleeding, fluid, or pain, just mild tingling and itching. Could you please tell me if this is normal or do I require a 2nd consult?
In my first lip lift the doctor used external sutures-scar healed beautifully at first but I had some tension scarring that occurred later Ironically the second lip lift was also supposed to be a scar excision from first lip lift. The first 3-4 days the incision looked fine then one side opened up and next day the other side in same spot. The center incision healed fine. The dr assistant keeps saying this is normal but it wasn't normal in my first lip lift. Thank you for any help or advice!
