Lip Lift W Dr.Spiegel Boston

I've been increasingly unhappy with the results of filler in my upper lip for the past five years and the lack of tooth show. I've been wanting to have the lip Lift done for the past three years, when I learned about the procedure. I stopped having filler touch ups two years ago and have let all the filler dissolve from my upper lip, which has left it stretched out, too long and without any real shape or definition. When I met with Dr. Spiegel, he was incredibly kind and patient (I had two different consults- and he was very understanding about how nervous I was!). I brought many pictures to show what I liked and didn't like and what would be possible for me. I've had two rhinoplasties about seven years ago, so I am very nervous about scar tissue and the incision not healing as well because the area around my nose has been 'gone into' multiple times. Dr.Spiegel discussed this with me and put me at ease. The day of the procedure, we discussed again pictures and what I liked and then he made markings. I measured about 15mm before and he anticipated removing skin to 8mm. Then he numbed me up. I agreed to have to procedure filmed for his social media, which was cool. Dr. Spiegel was so great during the procedure and really is a perfectionist. His incision line is so clean and his sutures are so small and delicate and perfectly lined up- he really does beautiful work! I'm currently a day and a half out from the procedure, so Im swollen the worst probably today and still have a ways to go before I'm even close to healed, but I think it will be a great improvement!

More swollen today..have up all night icing on and off. I couldn't sleep well because I was trying to stay elevated and on my back, otherwise first night wasn't that uncomfortable

More swelling today..especially upper lip
