WORTH IT$3,200
Just wanted to give a quick update since it's so hard to find fully healed lip lift pictures. I'm thankfully still happy with the decision I made to have my lip lift. It's made me look so much more proportional and I'm very happy with my lips! I cannot tell you how FREEING it is to not have to line my lips a whole centimeter and then be embarrassed when a part of it wipes off. That being said, the scar itself is pretty visible and it did end up flaring the bottom of my nose so at some point in the future, I will probably go in for a scar revision to try to remedy the issue since it has been bothering me.

Second Lip Lift, One month later
biscotteaDecember 4, 2020
Hi everyone! Just doing a quick update for those who were curious about my second lip lift. I got a second lip lift on October 30th, 7 months after my first. My untouched lip length was at 15 mm. I went to 11 mm with my first lift (and had no drop), and then I went to 9 mm with my second. The scar is healing quite nicely--I would say either at about the same speed or a bit slower than the first time around. I'm very happy with my result and finally feel like my vision was realized! 100% glad I went in for the second one. I will update when it's been a few months to report whether the scar disappeared as much as it did the first time around :)

Initially, I thought the first procedure looked great but now that I see the results of the second procedure I understand why you did it. The lip is picked up more and gives a sexier and even more feminine look. You look stunning. What are you doing in terms of aftercare?

Thank you! Yes, that was exactly what I was after, that kind of upward, picked up look :) Simply applying silicon gel twice a day and not touching/moving it much, nothing different than last time

Thanks for sharing and responding! I think I'm going to do it as well, going back and fourth between Dr.Rodriguez or Dr.Linkov.

Thank you! It's a cheap wig currently because I'm growing out the damage from years of hot tools on bleached hair, but I'm excited to be able to dye it back to blonde again

Wow you look stunning. Can you show your teeth in a picture? My philtrum is extremely short and I’m getting a scar revision by Mascaro. I went from 15 to 10. Now I have to cut out the scar so I’ll be right around where you are at. I was freaking out about my short philtrum but seeing how good it looks on you makes me feel better.

Yeah I was personally really surprised because the first time around, I went the minimum of what was considered the "best" range (11-13 mm) and it still looked long on me; I think it has more to do with your proportions so I wouldn't be scared of just the number. The first picture attached here has a lips apart view! Vs the one below at 11 mm. I know it's a bit small but you can see that the very bottom 1 mm of my teeth was previously showing, and now it's more like 2ish mm of my teeth showing.

It definitely works for you! I don’t think it works as well on me but oh well. It will drop with time. Has anybody noticed your scar?

I can't say speak for my scar the second time around because it's still too early in the healing process, so it's still noticeable, but the first time around, I didn't tell my parents that I was getting it done and they typically notice and point out every small change but didn't point out the scar (which was at around the 6 month mark). I assume that it was hidden enough that they couldn't tell.

That’s awesome. I can’t wait to get mine fixed!!! So they couldn’t tell you did anything at all??

Teeth show view
biscotteaJuly 26, 2020
Forgot to add a teeth show picture! I do have teeth show now, whereas before, I had none--it wasn't even close to showing! So this is what my lips look naturally apart. The angle of the lip is now straight, whereas before it was sloping downward. Hopefully with my second lift, it will go from straight to sloping upward, and I will have achieved my wish! Even now though, it looks amazing and is a huge improvement

How was the lip lift revision ?
November 5, 2020
I just had it on the 30th, and it's healing currently! Nothing different from the first time around so far! I will post updates once I get further into the healing process and have more to report on (so probably in a week or two) :)
