I've only hated two things about my face - my nose...

WORTH IT$1,800

I've only hated two things about my face - my nose tip (too bulbous) and thin upper lip. I had Aquamid and it did nothing plus one side has too much in it. I got a lip lift yesterday. It was almost painless but the anaesthetic bloody hurt when injected!! Its been less than 24 hours so I'll update as I heal!

The girls at reception were lovely, and Dr Anwar was great. I was nervous after seeing mixed reviews but with anything it's hard to know if they expected too much or weren't that great to start with idk! I was given Panadeine Forte, Antibiotics and cream to take home on the day. Had a review the next day (today) one in 10 days and then in 30. I'm not sure if I pay for the last two I assume it's all inclusive. I maybe would of liked more skin off but its too early to tell 19 hours after the procedure. I would have liked to see the markings beforehand and maybe shown him where i wanted my lip to be but I got caught up in the moment and didnt ask. At the moment its just where i want it but if it drops as it heals (dont know if it does/will) it may be just under what i wanted.

Look forward to following this. Can you give more details like how long the upper lip was, how much was taken off, what kind of lip lift, if there was a corner lip lift, etc?

My philtrum was 20-21 mm before hand and I had 5mm taken off but I think I want more off. It was a bullhorn lip lift which is evident from the stitches under the nose. The corners haven't been touched. I'm not sure if I will or not, I don't think they look bad at the moment. I'll put photos up every day/second day over the healing period. The swelling is quite 'puffy' and I'm hoping to stay home for a few days.

Time for bed, second night everything feels fine slight numbness directly under the nose near the stitches (still). I got home lunch time today (stayed in Melbourne day of procedure) so I've just left it alone and haven't bothered cleaning up the occasional drops of blood now that I'm out of the view of public.

I didn't mention but I did have muscle removed. I've been told to always get skin only and when I questioned him he told me that anything over 20mm he touches the muscle, anything under 20mm (philtrum length) it's skin only.

I'll do a photo in the morning before I shower then do another one once its cleaned up. Night!!

Looking good! I am wondering if patients can get sedation for this. I am not going to be able to sit there calmly under local and hear snipping sounds.

You can get twilight or full sedation if you want, I choose just local as I didn't have anyone to pick me up after the procedure.

Your lip lift looks good and you are not to badly swollen at all. Did your doctor remove the muscle or hem it? It is my understanding doctors do not remove or cut the muscle but suture deeper so it does not pull on the nose.
