Consultation with DR RR for scar
I had a skype consult with Dr RR and he gave me 3 possible solutions:
1. Microdermabrasion to even out skin
2. Fraxel
3. Worst come to worst I can go back to him and have the corners re-stitched. This is my last option and I will try and work with the first two to see if I am able to resolve my issues.
I am just updating problems as I am facing them for the benefit of anyone else out there who is considering the same surgery. However i would like to mention that DR. RR is very talented and he did a great job with my lip lift. I am still very pleased to look at myself in the mirror and i do understand that there is always a possibility of something not going as planned in every surgery.
I will keep you updated on my progress.

Lip Lift Problem with the sides
Hi, have been awfully busy again. The under nose area was getting infected repeatedly which has now settled thankfully.
I have an issue which I would like to share with anyone who is planning on getting a lip lift done. The skin on both the sides of the nostrils has not joined properly and I now have two deep grooves on either side. The left and right both are equally deep, and I am now a bit scared about them not closing. I have written to Dr RR office and they gave me a phone consultation appointment for this week but I am insisting on a skype instead coz the pictures are not able to completely show the extent of the problem here.
I am unable to take a pic that will show the magnitude of the groove here; but essentially the deeper layers of the skin have attached and the upper layers of the skin are open. None of the pics I took show the depth, may be its bad camera angle !!!!! but the grooves are quite deep on both sides, and whenever i apply something to my face or wash it, soap and other cosmetics get filled in.
If anyone else on this forum has had this problem please let me know the solution that your doctor suggested. I will post a fresh update after speaking with Dr. RR.

nine weeks post op now
I have been awfully busy. These are pics with some lipstick on. I have not applied any makeup on the surgery area at all. The corner lip lift scars are barely visible now. My nose is not swollen anymore and the scars are settling in nicely.
