Lip Lift- Best Facial Procedure Ever for Immediate Impact. Low Cost (Compared to Other Procedures) and Quick Recovery!

WORTH IT
Never realized how long my upper lip was until I became fixated on what happened and why I was looking so much older in a year's time. It's as if I turned 62 and woke up looking older overnight. I had my eyes done several years ago and a facelift/neck lift years ago and those made a huge difference. If you've ever watched the Simpson's and saw how Marge and her sisters, are characterized, with their long and very thin upper lips then you get what I am saying. I had a bad experience with a local plastic surgeon group in Ponte Vedra, FL. so I decided I would seek the best lip lift FACIAL surgeon in the Southeast (GA/FL). It took 2 years to set up appts and I used the consult fees toward botox and fillers to help with the consultation fees ranging from $100- $250. I had my procedure done in office and it's was painless. I think I napped and woke up feeling relaxed. Virtually no pain, slight, very slight discomfort for several hours post surgery but OTC pain medicine fixed all that. I am almost 30 days post surgery and my dissolvable stitches are 1/2 dissolved and the swelling is all gone. I had no bruising, none. Not going to lie, I loved my lips swollen BUT I knew enough to not love them too much as they would go down so I was prepared mentally. The only thing I will say is understand your lip lift will drop a tiny bit. I was made aware of that so I was prepared. My Dr recommended 5mm-7mm (they do some measurements to calculate how long/ short your lip should be to your nose, chin, etc.) I asked for 7mm. I I have a wide-ish nose and my lip lift looks great since 2/3rds was "lifted" I think maybe, maybe a corner lift would have made my lips outstanding vs "just" amazing but I am thrilled with my lips. Be sure to ask your Dr about a corner lift too. The cost, though would have been almost twice as much. So there's a balance. Surgery went better than expected. No bruising. I can cover any fine scars with makeup. I was out and about right away. My sister had a lip lift 3 years ago by a Dr in Utah. I compared my daily images to hers and I must say that Dr Argarwal was meticulous with the incision and stitching. I think my renewed lips have taken 5-7 years off my face. Why did I wait so long to have this done? Dr. Agarwal is outstanding surgeon, an artist, a perfectionist and a very likable person too. I will drive back for any future facial surgeries with Dr Agarwal and his team at Aesthetic Surgery Center, Naples.

Thank you for sharing your beauty routine, your skin looks 25-30 years old. I'm about your age and get lots of compliments on my skin. I protect my skin from the sun 365 days a year. My face has changed so much, I don't have the high cheek volume anymore and my upper lip has lengthen giving me a droopy face look. I have thought about a lip lift but would be devastated if I ended up with scars (I have olive skin) or a bad result, I'm hoping a mini face lift and lateral brow lift can give me back my beautiful cheeks and smooth out the hollows around my eyes besides raising the outer corner of my eyebrows. I'm also hoping these procedures help raise my upper lip just a bit for the meantime. Do you think a smas mini face lift can raise the corners of the mouth a bit? Thank you so much for your reply.

HI, I have olive skin too and your skincare routine is great! I am not a Dr but I do know that a facelift will not raise the upper lift. My scars are not even noticeable even without makeup. I chose a great Dr who has performed many lip lifts. Keep in mind, if the corners of your mouth droop to there is a separate procedure to address the corners of the mouth. The procedure I had address 2/3 of the lip. I do believe that a mini face lift will not lift the cheeks. I also chose my Dr for the lip lift because he does endoscopic cheek lifts and endoscopic brow lifts... and I wanted to try him out first. It is very hard to find a Dr who will tackle a check lift thesis days most want to use filler or fat transfer.... and I don't care for a puffy face. Personally, I would not do a mini face lift at my age. Good luck and I hope you find a great Dr. to advise you.

I am extremely please with the lip lift. The line is very thin and right in the crease and shadows of my nose. I feel comfortable going out without coverup as someone would really have to get under my nose to maybe see something. My Dr is a very skilled surgeon and a master with his knife and suturing. I have a tiny pimple slightly inside my nose ut it is the dissolvable stick raising up a bit and is expected to go away on its' on.

Bullhorn Lip Lift SUCCESS

I met with over a dozen facial plastic surgeons, in FL: and in GA, and I must say, Dr Agarwal was/is the best as far as having successfully performed this procedure many times. Even though he was an 8 hour drive each way I learned my lesson last time, with another DR, that you don't let convenience be a factor when selecting a DR. I mean it's your face! I am half Asian and I was concerned with how the scar would look and DR Agarwal assured me that I would be pleased with my result....and I boy am I! I didn't realize how something as "simple" as a lip lift could take years off your face. Also, I never realized that stretched philtrum was the culprit until my older sister, in another state, had one done. Back to Dr Agarwal, he is a face-whisperer. I was confident with his surgical skills and comfortable and relaxed during the in office procedure. I was out running around, publicly, after he removed the stitches a week later. Now I am 5 months out and the area directly under my nose is a very, very faint blush colored thin line. It is continuing to fade. And it is not raised. I can go without makeup and no one would even notice. My improved lips (and smile) make me look like I did when I was 15 years younger. I cannot say enough about the DR, his team and Donna his patient coordinator. Everyone is just wonderful as is his facility. When the time comes, I will return to Dr Agarwal for a cheek, face and neck lift. SO, SO Happy!!
