WORTH IT$2,800
Two years later. Still feel this was the best decision ever! Updated photo with no makeup. Filler maintenance less than 1x a year now that I’ve built up the structure and volume I always wished for (which definitely did require a lot of appointments & filler in the first year post procedure). The best!

Obsessed.
I am now 14 months postop from my lip lift with Dr. Mascaro, and every day I’m still blown away with how happy I am with my results. Don’t get me wrong, since my surgery I have had a lot of filler and have worked with amazing injectors to get my top lip to where I wanted to be. The lip lift is incomparable for fixing lip shape and lower face proportion, but I needed filler to get my lip volume where I wanted. I am so grateful I found Dr. Mascaro and opted for the surgery. I was scared, but I have zero regrets and will sing the praises of the lip lift until the end of time!! :)

Wow looks amazing!!!I just did it.. day 8, and it feels weird and thick I cannot smile like all the way through, showing teeth like I used to but I’m reading it is normal.. I been obsessed and so farr I-am happy, in a future I will do the filler to get the “russian effect”
Yes, it is normal! Try really hard not to smile for at least a month! That was the hardest part :) take good care of your incision is the most important. By 2-3 months you'll feel much more "normal," and it goes by quickly. Good luck!!
youve had some time to heal now, im wondering if you still have any trouble with smiling or moving your mouth?
Not sure how long ago you left this comment but no, absolutely no issue or changes in my ability to smile/move!
Hi! I was wondering, were you told not to do any strainous activity? I had a lip lift only removing skin not muscle, yet I was told not to lift anything heavier than a carton of milk for a month and to not exercise. This was highly impractical and I ended up having to run to catch a meeting two times during the first week after surgery, and having to sign for a heavy box that came to my door within the first few days. I feel like this didnt do anything bad to the incision other than maybe causing slight extra swelling, but I had no pain or discomfort or anything, and I feel the incision was already healed. I am just curious as to how doctors came up with these weight numbers and limits for exercise with such minor surgery
I assume the main reason is because of what you experienced (increased heart rate from moderate exercise = increased swelling). I am very physically active and waited 2-3 weeks before easing back into my regular workout routine. Surgery is “easy” but still surgery, and I was willing to do whatever the doctor recommended to ensure I healed well/didn’t want to prolong the process! In retrospect, taking it easy for a few weeks is a small price to pay! Within a month I was back to regular routine. Good luck!
Just had my lip lift a couple of months ago and could not smile, no teeth would show.
It’s much better now that the scar tissue has softened.
I had 4mm removed with a beginning length of 20 mm from nose to upper lip. Anymore removed and I think it would have been too much. So I’m glad my Dr. was conservative as I was afraid to get that dreaded “bunny rabbit” lip!
You look great!
Happy for you! It will only continue to improve with time :)
You look amazing, but could you post an after without your lips lined with lipstick? That makes lips look more dramatic regardless of surgery. I have an upcoming consult so would love to see actual results a year later!
Just posted!
Just wondering if you had a nose job and if so who did you go to? ( Your nose looks perfect lol)

Best thing ever.
About 5 months after my lip lift with Dr. Mascaró, I can say without a doubt it is one of the best things I’ve ever done. I am so happy with my results and the overall process. Now (with some necessary filler, as you can tell with some tiny bruises in my “after” pic here) I feel like my lips are how I always wanted them to be, plus it has improved the harmony of my entire face in a way that only a procedure like this could.
My scar still has some redness so I usually add a touch of light concealer if I’m going to be around people who don’t know, but this is nothing in the face of how happy I am with the results and really does not bother me. I also know it will keep improving with time (though I may eventually do a laser treatment). 10/10 would recommend.

Perfection
Stunning! So pretty.
thank you so much for taking the time to share. love the result SO much! helpful to read your review.
I have noticed that with the lip lifts the best outcomes are usually from younger women with full lips and no nostril show. Your results are beautiful
Thank you! Honestly I still had filler in my top lip prior to surgery which I should have had dissolved, but it all worked out (and I've since had a LOT of filler in my upper lip to get the look I want). A good reminder that lip lift will not give you volume, but a beautiful shape to work with!
You look amazing. I'm having a lip lift with Dr Mascaro in April, and I'm looking for a place to stay . Did you stay at a hotel.. and if so can you tell me which one.. cost etc? Thanks
Hi! I stayed the courtyard Marriott in Delray Beach. Definitely recommend! Rooms were large/comfortable/clean and less than a mile to Dr. Mascaro's office (I walked to my post op appt!). Good luck :)
Do you remember how much you paid for the room.. and how many night you stayed there? Did you also make the reservation online or did you call them?
Book on Expedia! They will have price. Talk w Mascaro's patient coordinator to determine how many nights you need to be there (I think stitches come out around 5 days after surgery)
Thank you so much. You're a life saver!
I signed up with Expedia and they have a good rate of $200.00 a night and that's with 'full cancellation.' I checked out the hotels on the list Lauren sent me but the Courtyard Marriott got the best reviews at that price range. The only thing that bothers me is that the in room refrigerator doesn't have a freezer for the frozen peas that Laura said I'm going to be needing. Is the refrigerator cold enough for the peas? Also when I spoke with Lauren awhile back she told me it's best to fly into Fort Lauderdale rather than West Palm beach. Is that what you did? .Sorry for all these questions but I want to get this done as soon as possible. Thanks again..
