30 Year Old , tiny upper lip - Camberwell, AU

First photo with a proper smile!

WORTH IT$1,800
So for the first time ever when I smile you can see my teeth and a hint of gum, which before did not happen.Before I was getting only around 1/3 tooth show the rest was hidden by my lip. It measures spot on 15mm and I'm quite happy with the result after seeing some bad lip lifts on here where the person shows more gum than teeth and their mouth looks like a blow up doll from an adult shop (always open position ) Once my nose is done and my hair grows back I'll be very happy!

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.

Hi there. Would you mind putting in a separate entry that lists how many mm he removed the second time around and all the measurements? It can be tough to read through all the comments to find all the basic facts of each lip lift. (And I am going to do this when I get mine tomorrow. )
So originally my philtrum was 21-22 mm (huge! ) First time only 3 mm was taken off with two stitches in the muscle (hemming) After that had healed it was still measuring 19-20 so very little improvement that no one noticed. Two weeks after I got another 6 mm taken out and 6 stitches in the muscle. Two weeks of healing I was getting 15mm exactly, which is what I had asked for the first time. I would say whatever final measurement your after an extra 2 mm should be excised ,but I did have a larger philtrum. I'm getting two ml of permanent filler soon so hopefully it should look how I want it after that.
So 21mm-9mm = 15mm.
I am 22mm and he is taking out 8mm tomorrow. So I am anticipating my result will be about 17mm, still too long. Looks like I am facing a second LL already and I haven't even had the first!
Very similar to me! 8 mm is a good start though. It's so hard to anticipate results. But i'm happy I did the second one two weeks later I think doctors like to be conservative but they should be able to give you what you want.
great smile
Thankyou!
Love your results, your doc did a great job!
Thankyou!
Hi Roman4, May I ask you who was your surgeon? Looking at getting surgery in Australia and yours looks professional and affordable. And the result is pretty awesome! Thanks a lot :)

Looks amazing! Congrats!
Thankyou I'm happy with the revision I feel it has made a difference!
It definitely has!
Is that the natural color of your lips? I had permanent lip color to give me the lip color that I thin yours might be naturally! Either way, looking good! I can't see any scar at all.
No it's tattooed! I did it myself the other week. I need to touch up a few places soon. Their is a close up of my lips before it was done somewhere in my photos. He really does a good job suturing!
You did it YOURSELF?! Wow, that's brave. I had mine done a month ago and paid $850.00! Worth it though. I need to touch up a few spots too, but I'm so glad I did it because I always hated lipstick and forgot to reapply it all the time and since I'm very fair in complexion I usually looked washed out. Has made a huge difference. Anyway, your color and mine came out very similar. Unreal you did it yourself LOL - came out great.
Thanks! I am a cosmetic tatooist as well!! I'm trying something different and used normal tattoo ink this time so it should be very much permanent instead of semi. I'm fair as well and I hated having washed out lips! I've also got my brows done as well.
Do you like the results? Are you glad you had the surgery?
It's alot better than before I had the surgery, I'd still like a bigger top lip but at some stage you have to say enough is enough! You only have to look at celebrities that have gone over board and I'm hoping not to end up like that haha!
Did you notice any changes to your nose? Mine is a lot wider
I was told that shortening the philtrum would give the impression of a wider nose, and yes I can say that is very much true! I'm looking at getting tip rhinoplasty once I save up the money.
You look amazing and I love your fun attitude :)
Now that is a lip lift!
Looking great!

More photos

Thought I'd put a before anything photo, after first lip lift and after second lip lift for a three way comparison and some more full face before photos, which I'd previously only had one or two of.

You're very good looking. I can't wait to see more photos like these with the new lip!
Did you keep cream on the scars or let them scab
I didn't get a scab at all, no cream didn't bother with antibiotics etc! I'm pretty lucky!!
Perfect!!!
looks great !
You are gorgeous! Do you model? Congrats, you look amazing.
Thankyou! I do model here and there, more so when I was younger but I think i'm ageing well considering I'm almost 31.
