I feel much better about my appearance, but I want to have a bit more removed. I also hope to have a rhinoplasty and a chin implant to improve the overall balance of my face. But first, I would like to focus on my lip lift revision. I believe that I can get a little closer to an ideal length.

Your chin is slightly short, a plastic surgeon with a good aesthetic eye would add projection and a slight amount of length with a chin implant. This would change the proportions of your face and make your lip appear less long. In all honesty I believe it would be best to do your chin first even if it was something temporary with fillers for a time , just to see the new proportions of the face. I’ve had two chin implants (first too large and box) occasional fillers, and a lip lift that past May with Dr. Mascaró. I’d also think you’d be surprised by how your nose looks more fitted for your face with more chin projection. I am a black woman. Rarely impressed with AA nose jobs especially when the nostrils are taken in, as it’s always easy to spot, the noses tend to look different but not better. But as a plastic surgery enthusiast I encourage you to do what you believe will make you happiest but go to the best doctors, seriously. I’ve traveled to the best for all my work, no one can tell I’ve had anything done. Like literally past boyfriends and friends after 1-2 weeks of “vacation” new nothing except that I looked better.

Check out Dr.Mascaro in Delray Beach, Florida for your lip lift revision. I had a lip lift with him two months ago and I had a great experience with excellent results.

Well, I tapered off my updated after the healing process, but realized there may be someone interested in the long-term outcome. The right is a pic I just took, wearing the same shades I had on in the before pic. I feel there was a lot of improvement, but I'm likely going to have another lip lift next year because I would like a bit more philtrum removed.
