Hi everyone, you can read a more in-depth review...
WORTH IT$4,100
Hi everyone, you can read a more in-depth review of my first lip lift, and everything I learned about lip lifts in general, under "Lip lift at long last" on this website. I also wanted to create a separate entry about how pleased I am with the results of my second lip lift performed by Dr. Hilinski in San Diego. Very natural-looking results, which is a hallmark with this doctor. Here's a Before/After photo, taken six months post procedure. I'm very happy and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Close-up's of scar, without & with makeup, at 3 mos. post
Per your request, here is my scar (no makeup) 3 months post 2nd lip lift. I also included a few with makeup as well - with just a smudge of coverup on the scar line, no foundation though. You can see that with even just a little concealer, the scar is easy to hide.

Wow, totally undetectable. Your doc did a great job!
He blows me away because from the very get-go, the scar line was very thin, fine and delicate. The doc who did my first LL did a good job but Dr. Hilinski nailed it. I'm so grateful.
You look the same but with a shorter nose to upper lip ratio. Your family will get used to it.

I'm so relieved to hear that! I think I look like "me" and don't know whassup with the family freak-out. Or why my co-worker "almost didn't recognize me" and that I "changed heads." So thank you for that reassurance Maybellineo! Xo
Thanks so much Mischief! You have to get so close up to see any scar at all. But no one would know what these pics were about if you took away the subject of 'lip lift scar'. You must be thrilled! I hope whenever I take the plunge I heal as well as you :).
Thank you! It's interesting because my first LL doc did a good job with the incision line but he also hit it with a laser right after he stitched me up. My second LL doc did an even better job with such a fine incision line, and he did not use a laser. So go figure.
Hey, beautiful lady! I have a question for you. When does the tightness under the nose go away and when does your smile go back to normal?
So at 3 months mine is still tight and numb, although it seems to "thaw out" with each passing week. I remember from my first LL, the majority of the tightness and numbness lessened by month 6, but it was over a year before I no longer had any numb or tight sensation!
Jealous of your scar! I can't hide mine with makeup. The first thing I thought when I saw your pics was OMG those eyes!

Wow!! You are a stunner!!! There is an actress that you look like and I am trying to remember her name. You are incredibly beautiful. I am so happy for you!!'
Thank you so much! I still get mixed reviews from others. Some who love my new look and others, including my mom, who are having difficulty adjusting to it. But I've accepted that now, and figure that since I didn't do this for anyone other than myself, my own vote is the one that counts! Dr. H. did a great job.
You have perfect results!
Thank you!!!
I agree you have perfect results!
As do you, for certain!
You look stunning! I can definitely see swelling is down, everything looks settled and natural. Very pretty :)
Would you mind posting a close up of the scar area sometime? You seem pretty much healed and back to normal. Im wondering if 3 months is what to expect for seeing realistic results.
Sure thing, I just did so let me know what you think?
Wow, just wow! You look so fantastic! So happy for you.
Oh thank you so much! Xo

When I read through your posts again, you said you started at 20mm and after the 2nd, your upper lip measured 1.3mm. Is that still correct? I've experienced a bit of a drop of 1.5mm in the 6 months post op.
