Wanted to follow up with 6 mth pic

WORTH IT$3,200
It has been actually 7 mths and a lot of people were curious about how the scarring is at this point. It is a big white still and one side is slightly hypertrophic unfortunately. I may be It lasered or injected down the road. Im still happy with it although I do wish I had more taken off !

HELLO THERE!! It's been quite a long time since you've updated. I'm so happy to see your pretty profile pic again. You certainly healed up perfectly and you show no signs of a scar whatsoever. You look gorgeous. Have you added any fillers? I just did Juvederm Plus and I love the added fullness. Be well. Keep updating. It's fun to see the long term results. Xoxo
No I haven't had any fillers but I'd like to!! I think I need my borders done.. hope all is well
I just posted a pic of my lips with the fillers. It's really made a huge difference. It gave me more definition in my lips and made my bottom lip a little fuller.
Ill def check it out.. so glad to hear you are happy with your new look
Hi hun you look fantastic!! :) You mentioned you wish you'd taken off more.. Do you feel lip has dropped in mms or is it that it's now settled after few months and looks elongated?

I had lift 3 weeks ago, I'm not 100% happy, I feel it too tight and too much skin excised. There's too much tooth show..... I'm hoping over next 2 months it'll drop or just look more natural on my face :(
Yes it will drop.. I had a ton of tooth show at first and now I have just a small amount.. I suppose under-doing it is the safer bet , I am happy overall
You got a very nice improvment on your looks. You look very pretty with your new sexy lips! I just got mine done today. Wow! It's really fun. lol!
Gorgeous!!!
Yours looks amazing! I agree, going under is better than going too much. How much do you feel it’s dropped? When did the tightness in your smile finally go away totally?

You look amazing! Your post has really helped me. I have mine scheduled for Feb. 13 with Dr. Rodriguez and I'm super nervous. I've never had a cosmetic procedure before
Im so happy to have been of help.. that is why I posted the gory details (literally!)
It is scary and painful but you will be so happy you did it afterwards... Dr R is an expert so don't worry about that aspect, it will be over soon and you will be where I am now!!!
Please keep posting. Would you post one photo per month for a year and let us know of the changes? It is looking lovely
I don't expect many changes at this point.. my lip has dropped a bit as you can see in my pics.. I don't have any swelling left, my lips were always full but if I was being picky I would say I wish I had a bit more taken off , but it may have been too dramatic..
You look fabulous and your result is the natural look I want. I have the same feeling - maybe I should have had more taken off but REALLY didn't want to look too altered. I consider it a great success to have healed well, not had any complications and end up looking "undefinably" better. Yay! Thanks for sharing your story. :-)
You look so young and beautiful !!!
You're so sweet ! Thank you!!! Xxoo
It looks so nice! Thanks for your updates!!
Thank you !!!
I'm looking at your latest pix and I'm in awe with your lips and philtrum. It is an amazingly different sexy look. I'm 2 weeks away from having my lip lift. I can't wait. Xoxi
Thank you!! I literally had a completely flat philtrum and zero definition of my upper lip .. even though it looks like it I have no fillers in my lips it's all from the lip being lifted.
Oh and great luck with your procedure!
Thank you!! I'm praying it goes smoothly. Your top lift was beautiful to begin with. It's now even more pronounced with your shortened philtrum. Just perfect!!!!!!
How much are you planning on getting taken off?
I'm leaving that up to my ps, but I plan on stressing the fact that if I'm not happy, I really don't want to do it again! I've been sending her pix of Realself patients (including you) and expressing how I would like my results to look like. You are THE PERFECT example!!!
Oh.....what was your exact measure before and now after?
The measurement to strive for it 1.3 mm I believe... I was at 1.9 just fyi
Thank you sooooo much for this info. I will tell my ps that I would love to strive for this too!!!!
