Day 24 post lip lift operation with dr Pearson hermosa beach California
Laughing and smiling is getting more comfortable and I am truly seeing the results of this amazing procedure.
This has and will change my life forever for the better!
I’m wearing zero makeup (cover up/powder/foundation) besides mascara, eyeliner and lip liner in these photos.
The scar is fading quick.
So happy I went through with this with the right doctor!

18 days post op lip lift by de Pearson in Hermosa Beach

I am elated.

Again you have to be patient with this process. Each week is a new task; ie first week you’re laid up in a little discomfort and pain, week two stitches are out and surgical tapes are applied to the incision site of which you cannot get wet and will fall off naturally after 3-5 days. Mine stayed on for 5 days. You’ll see that in one of the pics posted with this blurb. After that, it’s a week of massaging the incision site with your fingertips. After that I see dr Pearson again on Nov 10 and we start “smiling exercises”.

You can see something under the nose, especially with my anatomy, but i can see it changing DAILY and am looking forward to seeing where I am two weeks from now. It hasn’t even been three full weeks and recovery is truly about three months so hang in there if you get scared Everytime you look in the mirror during recovery. It will absolutely evolve and improve daily.

I took 5mm off. Each case will be different, but yeah that’s how much I wanted to take off.

The healing journey continues.

The scar is still stiff and I can’t smile from ear to ear YET (no it’s not painful just tight in the healing process) but by thanksgiving i should have those muscles fully adapted to my new look!

Update again in a couple weeks :)
