Life changing lip lift after rhinoplasty made me aware of my 'philtrum space'
ORIGINAL POST
Lip Lift - Life Changing
WORTH IT
18 hours post-op of my Lip Lift and couldn't be more thrilled. I found Dr. Turowski via tremendous research the past year. I will post pictures thru my journey :)
13 months ago, I had a tip rhinoplasty (different doc). That surgery made me acutely aware of my "philatrum space" about 17mm.
I would try fillers and Botox lip lifts to correct this, to no avail because the distance was the issue. Fillers likely making it worse. And long-term fillers + age (I've been getting lip filler for 9 years) makes the philatrum drop over time and deflates your natural anatomy. And also migrates!
My before pic from yesterday has almost no lip filler. During the appt, we did add 1/2 syringe to the bottom lip to balance out the top. I'm no stranger to the WAIT of swelling.. so because of this, I can absolutely tell what an amazing job Dr. T did.
Can't wait for my nose swelling to go down! Also the pain was almost non-existent and I have a low pain tolerance:)

Day 3/4 were definitely the most swelling and I notice it mildly subsiding finally today! Feels less tight on Day 5. My nose is still tremendously swollen. A bit mentally difficult to go thru the healing process but I know it will pass!
Bruising on bottom lip from filler. Still can’t smile, talk normally etc.. but that to be expected.
