Lip Suspension, No-scar Lip Lift in Los Angeles

cleo in LAJun 13, 2011
I've wanted a subnasal bullhorn lip lift but can't stand the idea of the scar and long healing time. I stumbled on "lip suspension." No scars, the before and after pics look great, and the recovery time seems minimal. I'm wondering why this procedure seems so obscure? Why is there limited information on the web about it? And I'd love to know if there's a Dr. in Los Angeles who has experience with this procedure and what the ballpark cost might be? Thanks so much!

Honestly, I don't think it will make too much difference either way since 17 days have passed since the procedure.  I do think you should start on an excellent scar cream and should massage it into the incisions twice daily to achieve the best healing.

Good day! The lip lift procedure starts with marking the length of the lip and the width of the skin to be removed beneath the nose. Most of the times only the skin is removed,  but sometimes the muscle is also tucked to help shorten the distance between the lips and the base of the nose. T...
