POSTED UNDER Lip Lift REVIEWS
Finally got my lip lift - Baltimore, MD
ORIGINAL POST
I am the last person to write any reviews of any...
WORTH IT$3,775
I am the last person to write any reviews of any sort, but this website has helped me so much in taking the correct decisions that I owe this review to all the members of the realself family.
So, I wanted a lip lift badly for the last two years; honestly for the longest time I didn't even realise that I didn't have any tooth show while talking. It was only when I met up with a cosmetic dentist that he pointed out this issue with me !!! And ever since I have been researching on Lip lift techniques and surgeons.
So finally here I am in Baltimore, and scheduled for a pre-op consult on the 27th may and the lip lift on 28th may with Dr Ricardo Rodriguez. Have not yet decided on the corner lift and I wanted Dr. Rodriguez's opinion on it. Btw the corner lip lift would be an additional $ 1000.
I will keep posting my experiences as it all goes along.

Thank you writing about your experience. I'll be checking in frequently to see how you are doing. I, too, am interested in this procedure. I live not fa from your doctor and have been considering going to him. Could you make sure to not just post until all the healing occurs and you have your final result, but at the 1 and 2 year mark so folks can know about long term issues that might crop up?
We are all hopeful for great results for you. Btw, could the doctor have put anesthetic topical lotion on the skin before administering the anesthetic shot? Or does the pain come from deep within?

Hey, I will try posting as much as I am able to, and yes will put up long term results as well. I asked Dr R if he could have put topical anesthetic gel, but he said that the gel would work only on the surface while the needle has to go deeper into the nerves. So the first two shots on either side of the upper jaw area are going to hurt. after that its all ok.

Congratulations on your surgery! I look forward to seeing your results as you heal. Thanks for the review, as well as the close-up photos. Blessings to you.

My God, when I smile I don't show my teeths like before, is this happen with age. I did veneers but still , I was thinking in lip reduction but I guess that is a lip lift my solution , thanks, great results!

Oh Norah, I'm shocked to see that even though you have the most beautiful and perfect lips and the distance from the base nose to the lip is not so far, that you should subject yourself to a surgery!!! Of course you'll be ok but all that suffering and still so young.... I can understand going through all the suffering which usually happens in a surgery when someone like me, who hasn't been graced with beauty, seeks to do something about it.
Anyway, I wish you the very best! :o)

Pre Op consultation
So I finally got to meet Dr. Rodriguez, I had so many questions to ask him and he was extremely patient with me. He even answered my questions relating to my previous surgeries ( Chin implant and rhinoplasty).
So the lip lift surgery is tomorrow and I have decided to go for the corner lip lift as well. Dr. R said that I really do not need a corner lift but since I am travelling from so far just for the surgery I might want to get the corners also done as opposed to waiting for a few months.
Plus I feel with age my lips should become more droopy on the sides, so might as well get that issue addressed.
Will post fresh pics tomorrow after the surgery !!!!

Oh By the way, my philtrum length is close to 1.8 cm and after the lip lift it would be 1.1 cm which is apparently the ideal length.
Please do post your story -- with fotos. We are all eager to see if this is a good surgery to do.
