Hello, i am thinking about getting smile lift which surgeon will cut the mouth depresser and stitch it together with mouth elevator. It sounds qite risky, i dont care about the scar but what about the muscle and nerves? Is there any long term side effect? is it safe method?
Can someone still get a surgical lip lift and prevent super noticeable scarring if they have ehlers danlos or are prone to big scars? I heard that it's best not to get this procedure if you have scarring issues and I have EDS and large scars but I think I'd really want this procedure. Is there are way to get it without massive scarring with EDS?
I had a lip lift 5 months ago and now experiencing my scar getting super thick and puffy. I don't know what to do I'm depressed. I researched about getting a steroid injection and notified my surgeon but he hasn't gave me the shot. What should I do ?
Im planning to have a lip lift, my surgeon recommends a gull wing lip lift for me because it will lift the whole top lip rather than just the central portion with the bull horn technique. I cannot find many photos of gull wing lip lift scars and unfortunately my surgeon does not have marketing consent on any theyve done to show me. Im concerned that the scar may not be worth the result. But I do think itll benefit and my facial proportions will improve.
Looking to get a lip lift, but the spot where my philtrum connects to my nose is very raised, does this make me a bad candidate? Still conflicted on getting lip lift and looking for doctor second opinions. I dislike how long my philtrum is but I am nervous about scarring because the skin at the base of my nose is very raised (see pic 3) and I haven't seen many before and afters that show a similar thing. Not sure if I would be a good or bad candidate for the procedure.
Really dissatisfied with the length of my philtrum and with how thin my top lip is compared to my bottom lip. Was wondering if a lip lift surgery would be advisable? I'm quite young (21) and very pale so I assume scarring would be a risk factor but still hopeful that it could be done with the right doctor/method.
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
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.
