I am sorry this has happened to you. Do you have a photo that shows your lips at repose, like your "before" photo? If it helps, you still look good from a stranger's perspective. Do you have a profile shot of before and after?

If you click her name you can see her other questions to doctors and see more photos. I agree your nasel sills are completely gone. Sorry this happened to you:(

You can't eradicate the nasal sill unless you cut the nose off. Look up the anatomical structure of the nose and see what the sill is. She still has a nasal sill.

http://plasticsurgery.about.com/od/Cleft-Lip-And-Palate/ss/What-Is-A-Cleft-Lip_2.htm This is a photo that points out where part of the sill previously was on her nose is now gone. The picture above does not show the damage as much as her other picture you can see when you click her name and see her question for the doctors. I think it is a bad idea when the surgeon goes into the nose. Sorry for you Birdym. Still try to find a doctor to help you.

Your nose has indeed changed dramatically. Mine did also but not as much as your did. Your lip should not be turning under when you smile. If you know other women he has done this to, get a class action medical malpractice lawyer in your area to see all of you. He will tell you what you need to do.

What is an Italian Lip Lift, exactly? The sub nasal bull horn skin-only lift is the only surgery that should be performed. It has its downside also but the on you speak of seems to really do some odd things to the face.
