4 month update :) I am very happy

Ok! 4months later, all the swelling is down. Let me give you a real update. I love my results! I’d do this again 1000x. It’s a new world.
I do have a weird space next to my left nostril crease. I’m thinking it will fill in with time. If it doesn’t I will be ok with it. Because the results are so good.
My nostrils at the base: 1- there is hair that most likely was from inside my nostrils that is now visible because of the pulling down on it from the lip lift. Or 2- maybe the lip portion that was lifted had moustache hair and now it’s higher from being lifted so the hair is there.
This is not a big issue. It’s easy to take care of and hardly noticeable anyway. I’m just noting it because I’ve never heard anyone speak of this before.
I feel that my nostril base is a tiny bit lower from the lip pulling down on it and I am ok with that I think it enhances me too upwards just the tiniest bit.
I don’t have as much tooth show as I first did from the settling down and that is my only wish that was different. But it’s not the dr fault- I have short teeth. I may get them lengthened in front just a tad soon. So I have more tooth show. This dr was a magician.

3.5 weeks post op

I love my results. I’d say 99% of the swelling is gone. Like anything in life some of the initial euphoria is wearing off but I absolutely love my results! I couldn’t of asked for a better doctor. I’m so glad I didn’t go anywhere else. & I’m so glad I did it. I feel so much prettier and I’m really really happy. I really look younger, & look more feminine and I feel more confident. :)

One week post op

Today is day 7 since surgery. The nice firm glue gets to come off tomorrow and I can’t wait! It’s so itchy and crunchy. And it’s purple looking and a
Giveaway that I had something done so I will be happy to remove it tomorrow with a q tip and peroxide. Can’t wait! But I know it’s doing an important job.

I’m
Thrilled with my results. So happy. Life changing for me. I feel pretty. I finally don’t look at my mouth and think how it looks old or angry. Or masculine. I feel more feminine finally. So happy!! I feel like this is what I should have always had. Posting some before and
Afters. My nose is still quite swollen because of the lift being anchored to the cartilage base. I’m fine with that since it should hold better than skin only. Will post pics without glue tomorrow and see
How that scar line is looking.

The doctor was kind and friendly to both me and my daughter. For the consult he asked me what I wanted. I showed him what I wanted and he said he was willing to do it. But he also explained to me why it may be better to do less. For example when I showed him what I wanted it left me with .8. The doctor explained it taking up too much could disrupt my facial proportions in a not good way and then I could lengthen my teeth later if we were to takeoff less. We decided on 9.0 as a final length which I am Thrilled with. My starting philitrum length was 1.5. On surgery day he was calm and professional and methodical and I really couldn’t be any happier.
