18mm vs 9mm Before and After
This measurement is the bottom base of nose into dip of Cupid bow. Before any LL surgeries vs today. Believe it or not, a total of 11.5mm was reportedly cut over my surgeries, but the end result is not 18-11.5, and actually I supposedly started at 17.5 which minus 11.5 would be an end length of 6mm (standing measurements always), but that’s not how skin works since it is elastic, so keep that in mind. I think lip lift surgeries generally come out less drastic than you’d expect.

I am very happy I went forward with this. No regrets. It’s been an expensive journey but I finally feel like my mouth is where it should be! Does not look unnatural at all. The initial swelling and extra perkiness has subsided, but lips are still a little perky like I had hoped with a nice shape. Know that with lip lifts they almost always “drop” due to loss of swelling and I think the stitches dissolving which hold the lip more taught.
The only bad thing that happened along my healing is the incision was initially undetectable, until my body became unhappy with the type of internal sutures used. Along my incision I kept getting a small purple abscess (like a pimple) that would plump, pop, drain, reappear, and this process happened four times and started to cause hypertrophic scarring. The last abscess never popped and so I have a tiny lump stuck underneath my scar it seems - but I proactively “drained” it by microneedling it which seemed to reduce it to half size and I’ll repeat this process, along with continuous nighttime use of waterproof bandaid wings over the scar for hypertrophic scarring - I have found waterproof bandaid wings to be superior to any silicone tape or mepitac tape I have ever used. It literally sticks always for 12-24 hours straight, doesn’t budge with any water or sweat, and it’s super cheap. Go get yourself some bandaids and just cut up the wings to your desired shape and size. So now overall my scar is pretty flat and not noticeable to anyone besides me, but I will need to microneedle a little more to drain whatever is still stuck under my incision - I think the internal sutures have mostly dissolved at this point.
