Greatly improved my smile, making it more natural, youthful & less strained

It took me a while to write this review, but better late than never! This surgery has made me look about 10 years younger. Dr. Mascaro is an excellent professional and I am 100% satisfied with my results! In the photo, it had only been seven days since the surgery. My recovery was very quick, and I think it took me about a month to look and speak completely naturally, as if I hadn’t gone through surgery. The only giveaway might have been every time I tried to smile, because at first, my teeth didn’t show completely. The area took a bit longer to regain normal mobility and elasticity. It took me approximately six months to be able to fully smile and show all my teeth again, just like before the surgery.

This surgery greatly improved my smile, making it look more natural, youthful, and less strained (before, I had to make a greater effort to show all my teeth). Over time, my lip has lowered a bit (though never as much as before the surgery), but I expected this because the doctor had mentioned it before the procedure.

I am grateful to Dr. Mascaro for the care I received. The doctor was very approachable throughout the entire process, and I was able to communicate with him directly whenever I had any questions during my recovery. I’ve read about people who choose to undergo the surgery again after several years since lips naturally thin over time. If I had to have this surgery again, I would definitely go back to Dr. Mascaro.

I also feel very thankful for Realself and everyone who shares their reviews and experiences here. Reading reviews truly helped me a lot in making my decision.
