Had stitches taken out and the scar seems to be heeling great, get slight tightness out of the blue which has got better over the weeks. Here a couple of pictures, sorry about the one with a filter but it gives you the idea of the shape of my lips now from before.

Lip lift & Guy Sterne

lisabroad89
Firstly, i have to say i can not praise Mr Sterne enough so far! I am more then happy with my lips at the moment and how the procedure went! First time meeting were at my first consultation he offers 15 minutes FREE, I had a chat with Mr Sterne about my past experience with fillers and he had a good look and feel of my lips, during the consultation he took photos and explained the procedure, i had done a lot of research myself before the consultation so had a good idea, he drew on my face so i had a guide of how much skin would be removed. The risks of the procedure were explained clearly, i felt 15 minutes went extremely quick and was bit rushed, due to having a lot of filler in my top lip he advised me to have it dissolved and then send him the picture via email and he will review then,
Mr Sterne gave me his personal email which helped as i had the opportunity to ask any outstanding questions as well as send the photos.
Mr Sterne was fabulous during the consultation, he was clear about everything, very informative, he is straight forward and clearly has his patients wellbeing and happiness as his priority. Mr Sterne provisionally agreed to do the procedure and a date were arranged at the consultation. i went ahead and had the filler dissolved and sent over the photos, Mr Sterne studied my photos and sent me a lengthy email advising what would be best for me and if i had any more questions. the email defiantly made me feel at ease as Mr Sterne took time to explain more in detail.
So the actual day of the procedure, my self and my brother went into to talk to Mr Sterne before surgery, making sure i were happy to go ahead and if i had any outstanding questions.
The procedure itself was fine in the end i did get myself slightly worked up as i had never had a local anesthesia before or any injections in my mouth. Once the injections were out the way it were great! i had my earphones in listening to music and Mr Sterne informed me of everything he were doing during the procedure it did not take Mr Sterne long to do the procedure once he had started, the nurse who works along side Mr Sterne was by my side the whole time which was reassuring as i held her hand during the injections.
Once the procedure was over Mr Sterne let me look at my face to ensure i was happy before he went to his next appointment he informed me he would see me again in 6 weeks.
The nurse then applied cream to the area and no bandage were needed, the nurse advised me to apply the cream 4 times a day and were given some leaflets to take home, I'm due to go back Thursday which will be 7days to have the stitches removed.
I can not wait for my review with Mr Sterne in 6 weeks!!

Looks great! I'd quite like to have this done after rhinoplasty has left my nose too short so I now have a bigger gap between my nose and top lip. It seems to be really popular in America but I couldn't really find anyone in the UK that did it

Hi, thanks for your comment, it is really really popular in America And no doubt it will be in England soon enough. I searched and searched for a great surgeon, you do get a list on this website of surgeons that will do the procedure. I travelled from near Blackburn to West Midlands so there was traveling involved but totally worth it. So far Mr Sterne (surgeon) has been amazing!!

Cool thanks I'll look into his work. I need to have revision rhinoplasty first though :(
October 14, 2017
How come you have to have a revision?
October 14, 2017
My nose is a mess, honestly it was a huge mistake :( I was in London this week for a consultation with Lucion Ion
October 14, 2017
Where did you have it done originally? Fingers crossed they sort this for you,
October 15, 2017
I had it done in Scotland, I don't want to be too specific but I now have to travel to London to have it hopefully improved but Lucion Ion seems to be the nose expert and I've seen really fab results of his work with on here

Day 4 after operation

So much more movement today I'm able to slightly smile, since the operation the upper lip has felt very tight I am also not feeling much pain anymore only when moving the lips.
