I would never really smile when I would take selfies. Although I had perfect straight teeth, I felt like I did not have enough tooth show, whenever I would smile. I found Dr. Horndeski, and I was stunned by his lip lift reviews, and his before, and after photos. So I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Horndeski, and I was very impressed at first because he explained how other surgeons use the basic bull horn lip lift, but he uses his own technique. He was very skilled and told me how many millimeters he would remove to achieve the look I was going for. The day of the surgery, it went pretty well, except for the anesthesia needle it was pretty painful, but very worth it. During the procedure I did not feel anything, and it took about less than 30 minutes. When I was done I was able to go home right away. I was prescribed antibiotics and Vicodin for pain. Day 2 post op, my face started to get swollen. Day 7 post op, the swelling went all down. I am now 39 days post op and my lip does not feel numb anymore. I can smile, and laugh without any discomfort. I like my new smile, and lift.

Amazing! Do you mind telling me how much skin was cut? And how long was it before the lift? Thank you for sharing!

10mm, 3mm, and 8mm was removed

That is interesting where under the nose were those amounts removed?

I'm not sure I understand your answer above to sadeem10. How long was the space before, and how many mm's did he remove? Also, your upper lip looks fuller now. Did the doctor do anything to achieve that, or is it actually the same as it was before the lift? Thanks so much for sharing your story.

Oops! I just found your explanation to my question about the before and after millimeters when I navigated a bit more. But I'm still curious about the appearance of a fuller upper lip. It may not have changed any from before the surgery, and maybe it's only the way it is photographed.

Really good work! I'm glad you posted your review, as I am a man that looking to have this done as well. Dr. Horndeski seems like a great doc, could you expand on the technique that he used on you? Because I'd say having 10mm, 3mm, and 8mm removed seems like a lot. But he must be doing things right because in the end, you look great.

Everyone's lip distant is different. He removed 10mm and 8mm from both corners of my lips because they were slightly uneven, and 3mm was removed from the center. You should schedule a consultation with Dr. Horndeski, it's free. Thanks for the comment
