Looks Worse Than the Before Photo--REGRET

18 months ago, I underwent a deep plane facelift, who also recommended a lip lift as part of the overall procedure. In hindsight, I deeply regret agreeing to the lip lift.

The outcome left me with visible asymmetry: the scar under my right nostril sits lower and is more pronounced than the left, my right nostril appears larger because the tip of my nose veers to the left, my Cupid’s bow is uneven and droops lower on the right, and it doesn't look like I had a lip flip at all. These changes may seem small individually, but together they’ve noticeably altered the balance of my face and have significantly impacted my confidence.

When I expressed my concerns, I was told that revision could “ruin the look.” That response felt dismissive and left me feeling stuck and unsure of how to move forward.

I’m now in the process of seeking second opinions and exploring ways to improve the outcome. I would encourage others to ask detailed questions, get multiple opinions, and fully consider long-term effects, especially when additional procedures are suggested during a larger surgery plan.
