About 5 years post

My lip has lengthened considerably, but is shorter than before the lift. The scar is visible and bumpy. I must always wear makeup and it still shows. I am disappointed but still think the shorter lip looks better on me. I should look into scar revision.

Two months

I love the shape, distance and appearance of my lip. I still have what would be considered a "long" upper lip but is is greatly reduced and still looks natural. The small scar that used to be flat at it was initially healing is actually bigger and slightly raised now, which is disappointing. I will wait until I am fully healed to assess the scar as I know it goes through a process, I hope it flattens down again! I use scar gel everyday and night. It is still reddish around the scar and I use cosmetics to conceal. The right side is more smooth than the left as I have some bumps under my left nostril (not too bad though). Those of you asking about my smile, my smile looks and feels the same at this point, just with very slightly more tooth show.

6 Weeks

Hi everyone, sorry for the delay I was away for a few weeks.
The lip has dropped more, but has retained a light pouty look. There is slight tightness when I make exaggerated expressions. However I rarely notice it, it feels completely the same as before. The incision is still red and is tender to massage but it seems to be healing slowly. I have to wear makeup to cover the redness or it would be visible, yet it is smooth. My smile now feels and looks completely natural. It actually did not change at all with this surgery.
