I can’t stand to even look at myself

My face is ruined

Loved Dr Rockmore and thought he was super nice. My one request is we be super conservative for my lip lift. Instead, it was very aggressive. Way too much skin was removed, and now the corners of my mouth turn down. My scar is thick, red and hypertrophic. My scar is also not tucked neatly into the nasal fold like it should have been. Revision is not an option because we’d have to remove even more skin. My face is ruined and I can’t stand to even look at myself. This is the biggest mistake I’ve ever made and I’m devastated.

Do you have a before photo? Your corners don’t look droopy to me and your scar is barely there, way better than mine.

We need a "before" picture to compare this to. I think you look good. I also think he was conservative. My surgeon would have taken off much more of your philtrum. No visible scar! Please try not to beat yourself up over this.

It looks alright. Take a look at some of the worse results from a lip lift, that might make you feel a bit better. But honestly, it’s not bad. I’m sorry it’s upset you- I totally get it but it’s done now so hopefully you will accept it more with time and maybe some improvements can be made with filler. Good luck!

I actually think it looks pretty decent. If you're worried about the corners turning down, find another surgeon and look into a corner lift!

I think we tend to be much more critical of ourselves than others are of us. We see flaws that other people can’t really see. For what it is worth, I think you look great and that your mouth is very pretty.
