Years later, still disfigured

No change in the scar. this scar is mine for life and the constant questions about it will never stop. there hasn't been a day where I havent thought about it. I added photos under different lighting to show that it's bad no matter what.
my review isn't showing up on the Dr's profile and I see that several more women have now come forward to complain about their scars. they did not read my review because it doesnt appear under his name. this website has a responsibility to the people that use it for research - these reviews are what it markets itself for and unfortunately RS isn't being honest.

Disappointing Experience & Scarring

This procedure left an unsightly, bright white scar across my nose that has not faded after several years and has significantly lowered my self esteem. I cannot say if the surgeon's method is what caused the improper healing, although given the large number of similar reviews, it seems likely. Instead of resolving this issue, I was told to cover the area with make-up. I do not wear make-up and I was really surprised that he considered this an appropriate solution to a permanent scar - one caused by a cosmetic surgery that arguably gets rid of the need of things like make-up. He & his staff even had the audacity to try to sell me some of their own make-up brand, which they display and market in one of the rooms! The entire experience was extremely disappointing.

2.5 years post-op and my face is still ruined

Hi everyone. Please do NOT get a lip lift. it is just not ever worth it. the risk of scarring is incredibly high, despite what your surgeon tells you. my scar is still here and its nearly 3 years later. I took very good care of it and it still turned into a bright white scar. I have spent tons of money trying to camouflage it, but there is nothing that can be done about scars that have lost pigmentation except scar revisions - and revisions may just end up leaving the same scar.

ive had multiple people ask me about the scar and assume its a nose job, because of its location. its humiliating. my nose is actually the one part of my face! its humiliating. nothing covers it. makeup doesnt even cover it. ive had my makeup professionally done several times for my wedding and all of its associated events and the scar STILL shows. its so disgusting, it ruins my entire face and ages me.
I went to a very good surgeon but this still happened. its just not worth the risk.

I held off a bit to update this review, but since its been nearly three years with no positive change, I thought it was finally time. I have written a longer review on the lip lift procedure for those interested. Unfortunately, the lip lift left me with a very unsightly, bright white scar. I wish I really understood the risk for these types of scars, which can only be removed through further surgical revision (and more risk). I would not recommend this surgery and the risk for scarring for anyone.
