My lip lift was done with some other facial surgeries and it came out great. The only problem is that my skin grew over the stitches around the nose and they never healed. Its still visible after a 15 months and looks bumpy in spots and with lines. I dont know if there is any way to fix it. Its also so itchy- Im constantly itching my nose, especially there are bumps on either side of the nose and it drives me crazy. Ive had micro needling with Prp, laser, and use silicone but it remains.
I had a lip lift procedure in April 2022. I do not believe enough stitches were put in place to hold the skin together which resulted in my skin parting. Panicking I tried all I could to fix the scar immediately, but was told to wait 6 months for the scar to heal. It has now been over 6 months and I am in desperate need of help. This scar is causing me depression. I have used silicone sheets consistently and the scar doesnt improve. Please help
What skin procedures will allow & how much timeline to remove scars? I scar badly, my skin takes long to heal (&heals badly; I get hyperpigmentation very easily too), so I'm afraid of scarring but I'd really like a lip lift. I've attached photos of my current & desired upper lip. Any recommendations for which type of lip lift suitable? I'd like more volume especially in the middle part (when I look at my lip from below I can see my upper lip has enough volume but it's all downwards).Thanks.
Is there a particular technique for massaging scars in order to improve it? I've read that massaging it speeds up the healing and helps fade it more quickly. I've been using biocornium for about four days and I've been massaging it for a few minutes twice a day when I apply it? How much pressure should I be using to massage? Also is it ok to use aquaphor on top of the biocornium? I've doing that in order to prevent dryness but I'm not sure if it's necessary or even counterproductive. Thanks!
I am 8wks after bullhorn lip lift. Deep PDS sutures used to tack down to periosteum. Still have significant upper lip swelling that hasn't improved even after injection of 5FU a week ago. My surgeon's website says swelling should be COMPLETELY gone by 6 weeks and he previously told me the lip would drop 2-3 mm by 4-6 wks. He now tells me there is nothing wrong & I am being impatient. Something seems very wrong given the utter lack of even the slightest improvement.
My lip lift incitions don't appear to be closing up. It looks like I have a an open ditch running down the sides of my nostrils. Is this normal? I'm absolutely miserable about it. I've had to return to work and I'm so embarrassed. Is there anything I can do to make it heal and close up? I have an important meeting in a week and Im so embarrassed! In one pic I have aquaphor and on the other it's dry. I've been alternating b/w letting it dry and keeping it moist.
