Bye Bye Thin Lips - Des Moines, IA

No change in mm length but some nice changes in the scar. I don't have to hide it now since it is nearly non detectable. I don't notice the stiffness under my nose unless I really concentrate on it. I would change my review title from bye bye to thin lips tho. I think my top lip is a smidge fuller but not what I was expecting. What I did get tho was something I didn't even know I wanted. and needed...A cupids bow!!! I think it was dr Rodriguez who said in one of his videos, even thinner lips look beautiful with a smaller filtrum length and a nice cupids bow.

It's been 10 weeks since my surgery. This will be my last update unless something changes since everything has been pretty much the same for some time. The scar is doing great. Just some redness which covers well with concealer. MM seems to be holding steady at 13 which is where it started so no dropping. I still notice the stiffness in the scar area but it is getting less noticeable. Still putting lipstick on almost everyday whether I'm going out or not. It's just nice to have a lip shape that makes it fun. I had lunch with a good friend that I hadn't seen since the surgery who usually will notice even a small change on people but couldn't quite figure out what was going on with me. After an hour and a half I finally told her. It wasn't until I showed her the before and after pics that she really saw it. She thought I was looking younger but she thought it was just my tan. (Which was only bronzer ) then for the rest of the lunch she kept saying sorry for staring but wow that looks great. Thats the results I was hoping for. So glad I had the lip lift. Couldn't be happier.

Not much to update. Today I felt an interior stich give way. It was weird. I was eating ice cream and my lip was moving in a downward motion and I felt for lack of a better word slight "tear" right under my nose. I ran to the mirror and made sure everything was good and it was. I guess the dissolvable stich dissolved. I could move my lip alot better after. No difference in the scar or the mm length. Scar is red. Covers great with concealer. I see my PS tomorrow for a follow up. I will have him put a small amount of juvederm in my lips to even out the asymmetry that I have from my previous juvederm injections I had in march. My lips ate the stuff unevenly I guess. I love the shape of my lips and don't know if I'll even continue to use juvederm after things settle down.
