2.5 year update

Clean face pictures- no makeup and in light from the sun. My scar isn’t invisible but pretty close- a line bordering my nose and a little but of white marks on the sides of my nostrils from stitches. It really has changed everything as far as my appearance and confidence goes. Just being able to use lipstick is a delight. Still, I wish I asked for a tiny bit more but oh well.

2 1/2 month update!

Hello lovely ladies. I am so excited to be posting this update and show you all just how worth it it is to get this procedure (from Dr. Talei of course) and how happy you can be.
Reading reviews on here can be so conflicting and I want to give you all the most authentic and comforting review to help you be confident in your decision to undergo this procedure.
It's been 2 1/2 months since I got this done and my lips continue to get better and better every day. On a previous post I mentioned my doubt over wether I got enough excised and my disappointment in not seeing any tooth show. Well tadaaa I have tooth show now and believe that my lip will keep lifting. My mind is honestly blown at how different I look. I feel transformed from dull and frumpy to bright and playful. Bless you, Dr. Talei. My photos will speak for themselves!
Some of my observations and experiences while healing:
- My incision area is stiff and still a little numb and sensitive
- When I get cold the area becomes purple
- My nose flattens out a little when I smile
- The scar is near invisible but still has a little shine and the skin is still a little red
- My lip is just a little swollen when I wake up in the morning
As I continue to heal this will all go away!
The only concern I've had was being outside in the sun all day for my summer job and if that'll hurt my scar. I texted Dr. Talei and expressed my concern and asked if there is anything I should be doing to protect it. He promptly responded and told me not to worry and to just use regular sunscreen. I love that he's made himself so accessible to his patients.

16 days after my lip lift. It feels better…

16 days after my lip lift. It feels better every day. I'm able to move my mouth and nose a lot more normally without any discomfort. Smiling is still awkward looking and feeling but better every day. Around the incision is still a little numb and very stiff. The scar is getting near invisible. There are just some bumps on the sides of my nostrils but that's from applying a lot of aquafore
I'm very happy!
