Too Much Skin Removed-looking for Hope

Too Much Skin Removed-looking for Hope

Versatile978111

I am 10 days post-op from a rhinoplasty and lip lift. I originally went to the surgeon (in Turkey) for a rhinoplasty and was convinced to get a lip lift as well because my philthrum was too long. I wish I had taken more time to think about it but felt pressured in the moment and just said yes. Between the drastic nose and lip change I have a hard time looking at myself in the mirror-I look SO different and am so regretful.

I feel they took too much skin from under my nose. I have a triangular bunny lip now, my teeth show so much and more than that-my mouth can’t function properly. I can’t bring my upper lip down to cover my teeth, to suck on a straw, say certain words or get food fully off of a spoon. I look like I have a cleft lip. I’m trying to be patient and I know it’s only been 10 days but it’s so hard. My nose is also so big, I’m trying to be patient with that as well because I know it can take up to a year for swelling to go down. I just can’t regrow skin from my lip. I think bad I done one at a time it wouldn’t be as hard to process. I’m just looking for people that have experienced something similar (mostly the lip incontinence) but it got better over time.

I just came here to say that I also had a lip lift that I regret and most definitely was not a candidate for this procedure. You, also, were not a good candidate for the lip lift and you absolutely did not have a long philtrum to begin with. Your proportions were well balanced and I have to say that I also thought you had a beautiful nose before as well. It’s always so hard because it’s only after something horrible that you realize that you were lovely just as you were. That being said, you are still swollen and clearly you’re still very early in your healing as evidenced by the bruising you have. It will settle more than it is but I will reiterate they absolutely should not have convinced you to have a lip lift. I’m so sorry for any anguish you might be experiencing. Feel free to message me if you need as someone who’s been through this
