Total mess, crooked lips, unEven nostrils.

I had to finally update although I have been too horrified to even contact the doctor or do anything about this. My lip lift that looked wonderful for approximately a month when it finished healing gave me completely uneven nostrils, and a lip that hikes up on one side to give me a completely crooked appearance. All of my features were completely symmetrical before then, and I wish I had never touched my face!

Hi all, I tried to post photos that showed the scar close up with no make-up at all. My lips are fine, the most problematic part of healing is the swollen nose.

Thank you for posting. Redness and swelling will continue to go down and your lips are looking amazing. You must be very pleased. Congrats!

Thank you for the update. You look so youthful! How many mms did the doc take off? Do you have anything injected into your lips?

You are still very soon after lip lift. Redness on incision area will go away, and so will nose swelling. Also, swelling in top of lip area in between upper lip and nose, that is swelling that will go down in another month or so.In another month you will see a huge difference. I recommend sunscreen when you go outside, and a good scar cream. You look great!

25 Days after surgery, still healing

Hello. I am healing pretty well, but my nose is still very swollen. My scar is definitely still red. No problems, just takes time to heal I guess. Using steroid cream on the scar and nose to reduce swelling. Numbness starting to dissipate.

You look gorgeous! I would LOVE lips like this. My lips have never been full but proportionate to my face, but now that I am post-menopause, my lips are definitely even thinner and the distance from nose to lips noticeably bigger. Thank you so much for such a thorough story and the many pictures!

Yes I love how her lips came out. One of the best results on Realself. SEXY

Hi, how is your healing coming along? Is the nose swelling gone? I'm considering your surgeon, but want to know if the experience is worth the downtime and if the benefit is what you expected. Is your scar blended? Thanks for your response and good luck.
