Going in for a lip lift with Dr. Kristina Zachary. Very excited, I have been wanting to do something about my long lip, tried fillers. Hated the result. Looking for healing tips, advice, comments on this procedure or Dr. Would be appreciated. I have seen many lip lifts on here that look fantastic. :)

advice : get blood work done before surgery.

Surgery was postponed, did blood found out that I am have hypothyroid. Go figure! 5' 4"., 100lbs????? Levels were low. Very disappointed but felt I needed to postpone until levels checked at normal or close. I did some research and learned that people with low thyroid function can have compromised wound healing; slow to heal and are at risk of infection. Good that I now know, but sad that I had to postpone. Lucky I thought to get blood work done. Maybe I would have healed ok, just didn't want to take a chance. I'll keep you all posted once I get healthier and closer to my next date.

Perhaps it it not my place to say this but I was looking at this Dr. for some work and I have seen a few things from other clients she has had on this site.
I do not know this Dr. and I am not saying anything good or bad. I recommend looking into people that have had her as their surgeon.

Sorry about the hypothyroid! Had you been having any symptoms? Smart to get this figured out. Please let us know when you get your new date.

With the upcoming surgery, I paid more attention to my health. I was feeling run down after working out, no energy. Seemed. If I did something physical I needed time to recover. Usually I can go, go, go. Not lately. So, I decided to get some blood work done, just in case. Glad I did.

I am hypothyroid and have been so since I have been 47. I am 59 now. One thing I can advise you is that you should have your thyroid antibodies checked, which there are 2: TPO and TGA. If they come up positive, that means you have Hashimotos Disease. Not to scare you, but it is the most common reason for hypothyroid. I have that and I changed my diet, started taking LDN, and now I am nearly in remission. By the way, I had a full facelift, nose job, chin implant and breast augmentation all while hypothyroid, and my healing was not impaired at all. make sure to have your vitamin D checked. If you can stay above 80, your immune system and healing will be good, as long as everything else in your health is good. This is wuite common in women, almost 30% of people in my doctors' practice over 40 have hypothyroid, most just don't know it. Best of luck to you.

Keep me posted please as I have been looking to get this procedure forever and Calgary would be much closer than most of the other places on here. I am from AB, and have noticed the prices here are far higher.. have you found that as well?
Have they given you a tentative date for rebook?

I enquired recently about the lip lift procedure and was told this doctor does not perform this procedure.
