I had fillers over 10 years ago that I personally feel never resolved very well. I went to times to a clinic that removed the remaining juvederm fillers. I got two second opinions from cosmetic doctors who have felt my upper lip and there is no filler left yet I still look heavy above my lip. I even had a friend asking me if Id have had implants in my lips. Ive done Botox for gummy smile for years and consider a lip lift, but what about the heaviness??
Hello. I had a BH lip lift procedure 2.5 years ago performed by a BC highly respected facial PS in Philly. For about 24 hours after the surgery the LS of my upper lip had no color at all - it was nearly white from my alar crease/nostril down to and including my lip. The color came back in a day or two. The right side recovered but I never regained full feeling for movement there and a lump formed next to my alar crease. I was told to wait 12 months and massage (which I did) but nothing changed. After a year PS injected kenalog to the lump a few times and then said there was nothing more he could do and that I'm likely making too much out of this. I went to an neurologist who took an MRI and there is a void in the place of the lump but the nerves aren't visible on MRI and he doesn't really treat those nerves anyway and referred me to an ENT and another PS. I went to both of those with my lax left lip and my MRI scans and no one wants to touch this. I'm just so frustrated with the loss of feeling and movement in my lip and it seems that this lump could be related to it. I wish I never had this done now. When I talk/sing my mouth is lopsided. There is just no elevation - some motion works because the other muscles pull my lip along for the ride which looks OK but feels really uncomfortable. I'm so frustrated at the outcome and that no one will even try to help me. I'd rather have a new incision scar at the lump than be left like this.
I have an extremely long philtrum for a woman. my nostrils are very visible. To me, it seems like the whole bottom part of my face sags and my upper face is being dragged down to reach it, if that makes sense. My lips sitting so low makes my nostrils droop to reach them. Not sure if this is relevant, but when I smile and/or pull my nostrils up and back, it seems to improve both of these issues. Do I need jaw surgery or a lip lift and/or rhinoplasty?
So Im 26 and I have been bother by the length of my philtrum (15mm). I asked a surgeon before and they said they wouldnt do it as it then would look unnatural. Is this the case because I think my philtrum looks long..
Hey, I have a long philtrum over 20mm and my lip is positioned in a weird manner so it looks flat but it isnt. I also have slightly upturned nose and Im worried it might make it look more piggy-ish. Considering strongly this procedure as I want my top lip to show more! Thank you x
Hello, I have many vertical lip lines and a horizontal line running across closer to my nose. would I be a candidate ? I know it does not take away vertical lines but I'm thinking enough could be taken off to help the horizontal line and somewhat tighten up to diminish the verticals, or would botox and filler be the best approach? Co2 laser maybe?? Thank you
Ive started to research lip lifts as I have a 20mm philtrum - however I like the size and shape of my lips Is it advised to do this in my case? I am also considering a chin implant as I have a recessed chin and am wondering if that alone would provide enough balance.
