I’m very excited and nervous for my upcoming lip lift with Dr Mascaró in 10 days. I found him here on RealSelf from reading others review. I live in Florida a few hours drive away. That’s convenient but isn’t the reason I chose him. I would’ve travelled if I preferred another Dr. We had a FaceTime consultation and I like the feeling of him, how he is and what he said. Anytime I get nervous and doubt if this is a good idea I go back to RealSelf or IG, look at pictures, read reviews and feel calm and confident again that I really want to do this and that he is the one.
My nose area is red on the pictures cause I’ve had a runny nose past couple of days.
Any tips and support is welcomed. :)

Are these your before pictures? Before any procedures?
April 18, 2018
before the lip lift. but I did have my nose done over 4 years ago.

You look absolutely gorgeous. Your skin, your full lips, beautiful smile, perfect nose and profile. Your pictures look like 'after' photos. I'm sorry I'm not trying to talk you out of anything it's just that we don't always see ourselves as others see us. But what I see us already perfect.
April 18, 2018
Thank you, thank you so much!!! I know what you mean with we don’t always see ourselves as others see us. I do like my lips a lot. Just feel like my top lip sits a little too low and heavy over the bottom lip. I’m thinking is philtrum is shorter, my lips will be exposed more. And teeth when talking and smiling. I just want a subtle change.
April 21, 2018
Why are you paying more than the usual $2000 that Dr. Mascaro charges? is he doing something in addition to the lip lift?
Your lips do look beautiful . You're very lucky. My lips are very thin. i tried to make a facetime appointment this week but Dr. Mascaro didn't have any openings.. ..
April 17, 2018
You will LOVE it! He’ll enhance your already beautiful lips and smile.
April 18, 2018
Thank you!! I really hope and think so too. Thanks for posting a review, it helps. And your results looks beautiful.
April 18, 2018
Thanks so much. Yours will too!! Can’t wait to see.
April 17, 2018
Please keep me posted. I’m considering this procedure with this surgeon but am afraid of the scar. I Will be following you!!
April 18, 2018
I will. I’m afraid of the scar too. But looks like Dr Mascarós scars are very fine. That’s why I chose him.
April 18, 2018
Don’t be scared. You are in great hands. I had mine done with Dr M on Jan 5 an yo can not even see my scar 3 months later. check out my review. good luck, you will love it.
April 18, 2018
Thank you! And thank you for posting your review, helped me choose him. You look so great and can’t see the scar.

One more week until ????

Here are some more before pictures, some with filter. Sorry about the funny glasses. :)
I like my lips but the top lip is too low and heavy on the bottom lip.
One more week. I try to focus more on the excitement part rather than the nervous part. Can’t wait.

You're gonna look like Bella Hadid after your lip lift! I'm only 2 days post-op from my lip lift with Dr. Mascaro and I'm beyond thrilled. He is seriously amazing!!! I'm so excited for you!
April 21, 2018
How is your scar? This is what worries me the most!
April 21, 2018
I was worried about that too but my lip lift was on thurs so I'm only 2 days post op but the incision is so tiny and neat that I highly doubt you'll be able to see the scar at all.
April 23, 2018

Good luck tomorrow. No need to fret..it seems that Dr. M is the best there is with LL’s. I haven’t seen one bad result on RS from him. You are beautiful now, just think how GORGEOUS you’ll look very soon. I had mine done over a year ago, with a ps here in Chicago. I love my lips now!!

Who did you use and how is your scar?
User Avatar

My lip lift was done by Dr. Sweis in Chicago. My scar is virtually invisible. I can see it (barely) with no makeup on and in the direct sunlight. My ps has a great technique with her stitches.
May 3, 2018
Do you have current pictures? I do want to do this with your surgeon!!
May 3, 2018
The last pictures I posted are 72 h old. So pretty current. But I can post some new updates later today or tomorrow. I recommend Dr Mascaró :)

Fresh out of the surgery??? Omg.. you look great, and it’s fresh! You scored with Dr. M. He’s the renowned lip lift doc. Good luck.
April 26, 2018
yes, fresh out. can’t believe it’s finally done and it will get better and better for everyday. I love dr M, so nice, so cool, positive, confident (but not in an fruit way at all!) just super perfect. my opinion :) Thank you xo

Are you icing the incision? Sleep with two pillows, it helps with swelling. I had a Liplift a year ago, and it’s just the best surgery I’ve had to give my face more balance
April 26, 2018
icing 20 mins every hour and 3 pillows under my head :) I can totally see ow lot of people would get a nice balance from this. so far I’m happy I did. after 1 year, is everything fully healed and will stay the same? no complaints or so that might have not known if before? xo

Hi there. Absolutely in awe with my results a year later. I measure it (lol) every week to make sure there’s no drooping. It’s completely healed, and no visible scar whatsoever. Look up my profile! I’d love to hear your opinion on my first anniversary. My ps promised me that it should last 15 yrs!!???
April 26, 2018
Do glad to hear you're doing well. Ice ice ice and stay propped up to keep the swelling away. Wishing you an easy recovery.
April 26, 2018

April 26, 2018
