Lip lift and tip refinement with Dr. Mascaro!

ORIGINAL POST

Lip lift with Dr. Mascaro

Likewise
WORTH IT
I had a lip lift with Dr. Mascaro in March and I can’t believe it took me so long to find him/the procedure. I couldn’t figure out why my mouth didn’t look as full and feminine as I wanted it to, even with fillers. Finally, I discovered the lip lift and after thoroughly researching doctors, I decided Dr. Mascaro was the one. 
I had a FaceTime consult with him and he was thourough, mentioned the ratios of my face as they pertained to the operation (which I hadn’t thought about- for example my chin length determining how much we could take off) and he listened to every question I had. 
I flew across the country and after some nervous preparation, the procedure was done! I had two procedures at once so I took a little longer to heal, but I’m loving the results. I’ve asked him a million questions post-op and he always responds with a reassuring and knowledgeable answer! 
I highly recommend him if you are thinking about a lip lift. Totally worth it!

Do you have photos?

I am keeping photos of my face off of the internet, but check out some of his other reviews, you'll see his results. Super tight incision, very natural work!
April 7, 2018
Thank you for your reply. I have read every review of him. His work looks great and I’m sure you look fabulous. I just have a hard time believing reviews without photos and have found several about him suspect. Photos can be easily cropped so as to be unidentifiable and still reveal the beautiful work, especially with a very focused area like the lip lift.
April 8, 2018
Totally agree, I don't believe patient testimonials with no pictures to back up their claims.
April 9, 2018
Sorry-- some of us have professions where even a cropped close up could lead to recognition and would be bad news bears. Best of luck in your search!

Please post some photos.

What is he doing to make the scars heal so well. Do you know?
May 7, 2018
I’m not sure, he’s a magician. His stitches are so meticulous and tiny. He also sets up his patients really well with instructions and information they need to heal properly, and that is super important.

Looks great! I want this done..the exact procedure that you had + the facetime consultation. He seems like he is one of the best for lip lifts. Would you be willing to share the expense? I would like to make an appt. soon
May 7, 2018
Of course! I paid 2,500 for the lip lift and 3,000 for the tip refinement. He’s amazing!!!!
May 19, 2018
Thank you

Both after pics look excellent! You say he only charged 3k for the tip? Did he add any grafts or spreaders?
Thank you! Ps: haters ganna hate. You look lovely.
June 27, 2018
Haha, thank you Sophie :) I know!! 3k for tip refinement- no graft but a stint in the middle from my own septum to add strength. He also trimmed my cartilage on the sides further up the nose.
June 27, 2018
Wow, he sounds great. Thanks!
June 28, 2018
No problem! He’s the surgeon I wish I had known about when I was younger!

You had a rhinoplasty and a lip lift? Do you have before and after photos of your rhinoplasty?
June 7, 2018
Hard to show as the worst angle I don’t have any before pictures of but I put up a profile comparison!

It looks awesome. Thank you for sharing.
Congrats for the courage to go for it, especially with both procedures at once!
I am considering doing the same.
You said swelling took a longer time before it went down because you had them at the same time. How long did you have to spend in isolation?
Also could you tell us how many days/weeks post op are the pictures you posted?
April 10, 2018
I spent a week there before I flew home. After that it really was just residual bruising on and below the nose that was an issue. I did have trouble smiling- still tough as the incision still feels « tight ». I think that’s due to a more limited blood supply from doing both procedures at once, but it’s a trade off! Personally I’d rather combine healing time.

Thank you, just seen now.
April 10, 2018
That makes sense. Did you take any more time off from work after you got back?
April 10, 2018
I work remotely so it fortunately was very easy for me. If you work with people up close and you do both procedures at once I would honestly take off two weeks! You could look presentable in a photo before then but may look odd when you speak. That’s just how it was for me— you could heal faster!
April 10, 2018
Wow, you had a beautiful mouth before, now it looks stunning! Thanks for the photos!

Hi, I think your surgery looks fantastic, I just wanted to ask you, what was the other surgery that you had? Did you have the lip lift surgery with local sedation or general anesthesia? How long did it take? Thank you.
April 16, 2018
Thank you! A tip plasty (refinement of the nasal tip). Because of that I was fully sedated. If itt’s Just a lip lift you can have it done with local anesthesia!
April 17, 2018
I would like to have a tip pasty too, are you 100% happy with the result of your nose? Do you mind telling me how much did you spend in both surgeries? Thank you again, I would be flying from NJ, I am surprise I could not find any pics in dr. mascara's web site. I wonder why?
April 18, 2018
Yes, I am. He had lots of photos to look at in-office. Some places prefer to do that. I am still healing but very satisfied. Tip takes longer to heal than anything else, I’m only a month out. But looking great and seeing the gorgeous shape reveal more and more as swelling goes down!
April 18, 2018
Ah, I paid 2,500 for lip lift and 3,000 for tip so 5,500 total. Anesthesia on top of that as well since it wasn’t just a lip lift.
