My upper lip began to sink to prior position about six months post-op. I wondered if it could have been caused by the dissolvable stitches popping out so quickly. Rather than dissolve, they just sprung out within weeks of the procedure.
It was a big undertaking and expense to have no benefit from.

I am 2 days short of 6 weeks post-op and feeling fine.
I had my picture taken the other day and I thought I'd post them side by side.
The light is different in both pix. The angle and expression is also different. Consider also slight swelling in "after" photo. However, I see the shortened distance in upper lip.
I am quite happy with the shortened distance and appearance after the lip lift.
As soon as I have time, I'll add a photo where the pose and angle match.
I just happened to have had this pic taken and thought this would be interesting to post.

Healing very well. I am very happy with the outcome of the procedure. I like the new appearance of my lips and smile. Dr. Langdon did a fantastic job. I'm very happy that it was done. I've gone to soft foods only (should've done that sooner, Duh!) and I just cut crunchy veggies smaller. The scar covers with make-up well enough, it's a little hard getting it into little tiny crevices, as I continue to heal, the smoother the make-up application. I am trying not to cry. (lost my cat)
