I have been dissatisfied with the proportions of my face almost all my life, but I really didn't know exactly what it was that was wrong with my face. A few months ago when I was researching nose lengthening procedures, I came across a review for a lip lift, and immediately realized that it wasn't that my nose was too short, but my lip too long! It sounds silly in retrospect, but I just couldn't put my finger on what exactly it was that I disliked about my face until then!
I had a consultation with Dr. Zweibel in Denver, and although I know its more advisable to consult with several plastic surgeons, I felt immediately comfortable with him and booked an appointment that very day! Tomorrow it'll be 2 weeks since I had the procedure, and I am SO happy I decided to do so. I was a little bit disappointed in how slow my scar has healed. Based on some of the other reviews I've seen, it seems like the healing process was fairly quick and most people were back at work within that time frame. That has not been the case for me. The scar still pretty nasty, though getting better by the day. Until about two days ago, i had what looked like two deep ditches running down the side of my nostrils where it seemed like the skin just refused to come together. I am happy to say though, that it has improved drastically and it continues to improve! I only point this out because if you're considering this procedure you might find that the healing process isn't as quick as you might expect from reading other reviews. I only took about 8 days of PTO thinking that by that time, it would be healed enough to cover it up with makeup. Wrong! I had to go back to work with a very visible scar that I was afraid to put concealer lest it get infected. However, I have to say that this procedure has really improved both the proportions of my face, as well as made my lips much more attractive than they've ever been. I am also very much aware that 2 weeks is not very long, and my expectations might have been unreasonable as far as the healing process. My scar is still slightly indented and there are are area along my nostrils does look pretty deep, but because I have seen an improvement in the last few days, I am hopeful that this will resolve itself! I've added pictures of my progress so far. Please forgive the poor quality of my camera phone.

I'm exactly on day 14 post op. I'm still quite worried about the scar and the fact that it hasn't closed up completely but I talked to the nurse at my PS and she reassured me everything looks normal. I'm still a little uncomfortable at work and I feel everyone is staring at scar but hopefully it'll close up soon.
