First of all, am not the type to write a review, but due to such a nice outcome, really wanted to post this...I had been interested in this particular procedure for awhile now, and finally decided just to do it. Am so glad I did, as I really am very pleased with the outcome. The swelling is, of course, the worst on the second and third day, but after that it improves pretty quickly. After the stitches were taken out, was surprised at how tiny the incision site was. My friend said she couldn't even see it, as she was surprised after seeing my bloody stitches at first, hehe. After the stitches are taken out, the incision heals very quickly.

Tooth show
Sierra017July 14, 2015
Also, sorry about no pics with much tooth show...I have a porcelain veneer on one of my front teeth that looks okay in real life, but looks a lot bigger than the other front tooth in photos, so am self conscious of it in photos a bit, but I do have more tooth show now, after the procedure. Need to get a better veneer now, lol.

Thank you very much for sharing on RealSelf! Did you experience much pain throughout the recovery?
I had a really bad reaction to the scopolamine patch but that had nothing to do with the surgery, or the incision. A headache and nausea like I have never had in my life....
Ugh, sorry to hear that.
I will post what my philtrum started at tomorrow, and exactly how much she took off. Also, she did say that if it is not enough, then she can remove more later, and that it is better to remove a little each time, whether than remove a whole lot at once(less likely to pull your nose down that way, I think). Not fun to go through surgery again, but if the result is better that way, then probably safer...
Anyway, spoke with the office and looks like before surgery, the middle part of lip to nose was 1.6 cm and lateral edge of lip to nostril was 2 cm. She took off 4 mm in the central part of lip to nose, and 5 mm lateral. Hope that helps...
