Lip lift: Bullhorn lip lift

Like I've reviewed in the past about Dr. Herbich he is by far the best doctor here on Oahu when it comes to all sorts of procedures. He does not mess around and gets the job done. I got wind of a simple, in and out procedure called the bullhorn lip lift that with a little tweak in removing skin near your upper philtrum it creates a very subtle and pleasing youthful appearance. I asked him about it and he was experienced in doing it and had done quite a few but hardly anyone really knows about it and takes advantage of it. It's low in cost but big in results!!! So worth it. This is my before and recovery pictures. I know they look wild but that's the price of beauty. I'm looking forward to the swelling to go down. I will be using back to back supplements of Bromelain as well as Arnica Montana to help bring the swelling down and heal the tissue damage. I find that it cuts recovery time in half. I am also on both antibiotic ointment for the cuts and stitches near nose as well as oral antibiotic to make sure we can prevent infection. This procedure is done under local anesthesia, he numbs the area around the upper lip and then takes it from there. It's best to go over first what you want to achieve because there is no going back if you take out too much skin. You can always take out more if it wasn't enough but you won't be able to put back skin. Some people require a lot of skin to be removed and I just needed a little bit. About 3mm was taken out and I'm pleased even though it looks all crazy right now I can see past that and the swelling.

Yesterday after the local anesthetic wore off I was a little bit uncomfortable and in slight pain but thankfully I had a pain killer (Hydrocodon Acetaminophen 5-325) on hand. I also would like to mention about a good hour before the procedure I took a 10mg Diazepam that the doctor prescribed for me to help with my nerves as I knew I would be awake the whole procedure and it helped.

Today I'm feeling much better but still so very busted up looking, which is okay with me. I know it won't happen over night. I have been taken my antibiotics accordingly and I also re-apply the Mupirocin 2% ointment to the area around the lower nose and sides of nostril 3 times a day. Sleeping was good, I just had to remain on my back and make sure my blanket don't snag a stitch not that it would but yeah don't want to take chances. I'm going to use a baby tooth brush to brush my teeth. I'd also like to mention absolutely no gum chewing or try not to talk so much. You don't want to make the area stretch. You want to promote healing. So zip it ???? ????

So like I've mentioned in earlier post it's good to have these 2 on hand + that extra juice I added to help with the recovery process. You can get them guarantee at Down to Earth or any other health/vitamin shop. I usually take it at least 3 times a day. It's never hurt me and has no side effects and I love how it promotes healing because who wants to stay swollen and busted up looking? Not me.
