My lip lift is scheduled for 8/23/20016. I'm excited and a little nervous. The staff is very, very nice and pleasant and the surgeon is too. I felt quite comfortable at my initial consultation and during tear trough filler with Restylane Silk and Restylane Silk in cheeks.
Tomorrow I go for blood work, fill my antibiotics rx and by Bacitracin.
I am nervous and excited. I do, however, feel confidence in the surgeon and that is so important.
After researching different procedures in lip augmentation, I felt the bull horn incision lip lift is the one that would help me best. I need more tooth show, less space between nose and lip and more lip show. My lip is pretty thin.
Since it's only a week away, I am pretty nervous! I've read many case histories here and overall feel good about decision. My main anxiety is pain and swelling. Wish me luck.

I noticed that the average excision of skin of skin on the reviews here seem to be about 9 mm. I will find out from Dr. Langdon how much he will remove and let you know. Darn, the one question I forgot to ask. The distance between my nose and and mouth is pretty long so I'm sure he will probably want to shorten it so it is in proportion. I thought I'd add a photo of my lips ( so you can see they're quite thin) and the distance from nose to mouth. Wish me luck. I am pretty apprehensive about results.

I think you can just get a ruler with millimeters and measure it so at least you know where you are presently. Do you have any photos of what you want the space to look like afterwards? Some ladies bring pictures to the surgeon to show what their ideal is. Your lips are not that thin. You should do fine!

Thank you for the suggestions whiterobin, sometimes I skip over the most pertinent factors when I get this excited.

Oh yes, and also try to get a good friend to shoot you from a profile so we can see your upper lip from the side view! You are going to laugh, but when I got my facelift, nose job and chin implant, I photoshopped my face to show the doctor what I wanted to look like. No stone unturned my dear, this is your face!

I had the blood work done CBC,PTT ( activated) and PT w/INR at a cost of 147.00. I will pick up the 5 day course of antibiotics later today.
I am really, really nervous. I never thought I'd have surgery of any kind unless medically necessary. The ravages of time have really changed my mind. I also feel very confident with Dr Langdon.
I'd like to somewhat as young as I feel. My philtrum has elongated and my lips are thin.
When I go in on Tuesday, I will know more specifically how mush skin will be excised. I will bring in a photo of the look of I'm seeking.
I am adding a photo that I hope is more clear.
I probably won't update until the weekend or so.

Ahhh, next week! How exciting! I hope you'll use this space to keep us updated on how it all goes. :) I'll be thinking of you on the 23rd.
Thank you for posting your "before" photo!
