Lip lift

I have wanted to get lip lift and corner lift all my life so I just got it done 20 minutes ago today with Dr. Rodriguez in Baltimore Maryland and we will see what the result will look like together. I will be posting updates pictures on the next few days. Dr. Rodriguez is known for this surgery and he has done my breast surgery before with great results so I am looking forward to this result.

So far the recovery has been full of pain. The pain is no joke and it's my whole face/head that hurts even though I am taking the oxycodone 5mg every 4 hours. I hope it's worth the money and the pain.

Your lips were beautiful before girl. I hope you love this outcome because sounds painful! It'll take 6 months minimum to get an idea of how you're going to look. Best of luck!

Can you please post a before pic? It looks really promising

Sure. I will. I don't think it's worth what I paid but I am only 12 days out. The result is mediocre. Not really what I ask/hope for but the just is still out. My philtrum is definitely shorter but my lips don't looks anything like I wanted them or expected them. I had expressed that I didn't like how deep or indented my philtrum is so I wanted it to be stretched out little in prefer for it to look less deep and that wasn't even attempted judging from the current result and the pink part of my lip could have been exposed little more so I am not satisfied but I will learn to leave with it after going through the pain I went through and the pain I am still going through even though it's not nearly as bad as it was; I will never do another one of this surgery. It is the most painful kind by far.

The good thing is I don’t have as much pain as I did the first 4-5 days of my surgery. However, I don’t think the result is worth the pain nor the money but the jury is still out since I am only 12 days out. My philtrum is definitely shorter but the pink part of my lip could have been more exposed and I don’t like how high the side of my lips are and how low my philtrum is compared to both side of my lips.

Please be patient! It's going to be 6 months before you'll really know.

Thank you! I am hoping for a positive outcome but like you said it will take about 6 months before I know for sure. I still have some tenderness and very mild pain when I smile.

Hopefully you are happy with the result when it all settles down. If you decide to do a revision, use a PS that is a facial specialist. Typically, those that do breast and body work, specialize in those areas, while facial plastic surgeons, do the delicate procedures on the nose, mouth, neck, eyes, etc. Can definitely see a difference, and hopefully, you’ll be delighted once healing is complete!!
