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.

One of the things I’ve been nervous about is the scar, but your last photo dies a great job of showing a closeup with no visible scar. You may have sold me!

I'm scared of the scar outcome question do you have to put make up to cover the scar or ?

Did your nose go all the way back to the size it was before?

That is one of the best lip lifts I have seen. Can I ask you the amount you paid!

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. :)

Looks really cute! Your doctor did a great job. I am in the same boat as you, feeling so much more confident, even sexy, after having this procedure. I only wish that I had known about it sooner!

hate to tell you, but if you had injectable filler they will not stay long. i have had every kind of filler there is. now i love mine very big and pouty. day 4 is my fave! and then i am happy for about 1- 1 1/2 months. by 2-3 months absolute max, deflated again, and back for more pain. i have now been doing threads to add some volume , dont know how that will end as it is a gradual thing.

Try doing 2ml in span of 2 weeks. I did one ml as a base and then added one more afterwards and now just adding 0.5 every year. They literally stay like after the procedure for almost a year. Doctor explained that I needed a base since the same thing was happening to me.

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.
