WORTH IT
Today was my follow-up consultation.
My surgeon told me how much skin he actually removed for the bullhorn lip lift : 6mm which seems quite good to me. He initially told me he would remove between 5 and 7mm (my upper lip was 20mm).
I asked him if my upper lip will be a little less « bunny style » when the swelling will go down and he told me it won’t change that much anymore... which is kind of worrying me since I think my upper lip doesn’t look very « natural » (it looks better in photos than in real life)...
When I see the pictures I am SO glad I did it, I think I really needed it but sometimes when I look in the mirror I think I kind of look... weird... :/
I’m trying to be patient, to wait until next week and my second follow up consultation. Keep in touch. :)

Merry Christmas! // D+5 Bullhorn lip lift
Hello there !
So yesterday night was the 1st day I met my family for Christmas Eve...
My parents were so anxious about the result and the fact that a lip lift may drastically « change a whole face » (until the last minute, they tried to stop me).
But fortunately, some of the swelling had gone a little and my face was not looking that stiff, my nose and lips did look that wide / big.
My father even told me he prefers me like that...! Which is kind of a miracle since he hates everything about body / face modification.
As far as I am concerned, I do not feel any pain, no pain killer at all just an homeopathic treatment that for sure helps a lot in preventing the swelling (even if my -ex?- boyfriend told me I first looked like a boxer that lost a fight, I think it could have been worse -and it was for my nose jobs-).
I am really eager to meet the surgeon on December the 27th so he can tell me precisely how much skin he removed!
By the way, have a Merry Christmas you all :)

Day 2 after surgery
No pain at all, no medecine needed.
My nose and upper lip are still very swollen but a little bit less than yesterday I would say. My alar is quite wide and I can barely feel my middle upper lip as well as my nostrils.
Rather statisfied even if I can help being a little bit afraid of the rabbit look to last forever... My middle upper lift is too high to compare with my corners at the moment.
Upper lip lift changes a lot your face harmony, it is very obvious; even if it is for the better, change is very noticeable! I really do not know how my colleagues will react as soon as I will come back in a few days.
I am so eager that the swelling goes down...!
Apparently, one week is needed to be « presentable ».

Looks very good. Curious how your colleagues will respond too
Bonjour, je vis en Belgique et je regarde depuis longtemps pour cette intervention mais j'ai assez peur du résultat (j'ai eu une mauvaise expérience avec plusieurs intervention du nez avec un résultat non satisfaisant). Cette intervention est peu réalisée ici et en France. J'ai rencontré une personne qui la réalise assez souvent à Paris mais peux-tu donner le nom de ton chirurgien? As-tu rencontré l'une de ses patientes qui avait réalisé ce type d'intervention. Pour le délai j'ai souvent lu qu'il fallait attendre plusieurs mois pour avoir le résultat final. J'espère que cela se passera au mieux pour toi et je trouve à ce stade que le résultat est pas mal en comparaison avec d'autres postes.
Bonjour et merci pour ton message.
Je l’avoue, mon idée première était de me rendre aux États Unis où cette opération se pratique fréquemment (mon rêve : aller voir le Dr Ben Talei...) mais faute de moyens et de temps, j’ai choisi de m’orienter vers les plus « aguerris » en France. J’avais d’abord pensé à voir de le Dr DERHY à Paris et puis lorsque j’ai vu le Dr GOUNOT sur Lyon (plein de très bien avis sur Google), j’ai eu un très bon feeling. J’ai vu les avant / après qu’il m’a montré sans problème, lui ai posé plein de questions durant les deux consultations mais aussi pas mal par téléphone / par e-mail sur la façon dont il opérait, s’il utilisait la technique du « bull horn lip lift », combien il pensait m’enlever etc. Il a toujours été très réactif.
Je t’avoue qu’il s’agissait malgré tout pour moi d’un « petit saut dans le vide » sachant qu’il opère surtout des personnes âgées... mais je lui ai accordé ma confiance.
Il m’a avertie d’une chose « que le principal problème avec cette opération, c’était que la cicatrice était imprévisible : sur certaines cela se voit, sur d’autres, cela « disparaît complètement ». J’ai pris le risque... mais je t’avoue que j’ai énormément appréhendé et pourtant j’ai subi pas mal d’interventions auparavant !
Concernant le nez, j’en ai subi 4... et j’ai été extrêmement déçue la 1ère fois (déviation et nez plus grand / gros / large suite à cette chirurgie) et les 3 autres ont uniquement servi à redresser le tout. Aujourd’hui, si jamais dans le futur je tiens toujours à avoir le nez que j’estime « parfait pour moi » je me ferai opérer par les meilleurs et je devrais donc y mettre le prix... donc ce ne sera pas dans l’immédiat ^^
Je te souhaite plein de courage dans tes recherches et n’hésite pas à poster des photos ainsi que d’apporter des images de ce que tu aimerais au chirurgien !
This looks so good!! You got a rhino as well? Who is the dr ?
Thanks :) It helps a lot to be more self-assured because it is quite stiff and weird at the moment.
I did not have a rhino with the lip lift but separately several years ago. Did you think that my nose was different from the before / after photos I published? Cause I personally think that the lip lift changed the shape of my nose a little bit : we can see the nostrils more now.
I did my last revision rhinoplasty by Dr Eric BONAFOS, an EMT surgeon, really talented and I can breathe well now. :)
It does not look different but I can tell bc your nose is the “idea rhino” shape that you might have gotten one before. I am dying to get a rhino at the same time as my lip lift but I’m not sure if it’s he best idea after some things I’ve read
