Lip Lift/Corner lip lift - Too Conservative and Lip Line is Squiggly

How are you doing in 2023? I'm truly sorry you spent money for this and you didn't get the result you wanted. You're not botched thankfully but I can see why you'd be upset. I'm still in research mode and it's eye opening to see the kind of issues that can come about with the lip lift. I've seen several people that have made me re-think altogether. Did you ever go for a revision? I read (your comments) that you consulted with Dr.Amy Hsu. I'm thinking of doing a consult with her based on her reviews w/photos and her professional submitted photos. I also chatted with someone who went to her for a lip lift and she looks good. That said, ALL of these doctors have a ton of glowing reviews and zero pics. When people ask for pics or have questions, no reply. Real Self should require pics or else it just looks phony. Seriously not helpful for a cosmetic surgery site. Thank you for posting pics btw! Although I wouldn't say you look bad at all, it's definitely not quality work. It certainly doesn't live up to his "reviews". I would have expected a stellar result considering you started with an ideal shape and super nice lips. It's disappointing about the 5mm but worse, you shouldn't have a squiggly line (from doc w/20 years experience) and then have to fix it with lip pencil. Yeah that's sloppy for sure and just shows his "skill". Crossing Dr. Pearson off my list as well as Mascaro, Talei and Linkov etc. Lip Lifts are getting so expensive due to popularity and some these docs don't deserve our business especially when they fail to remedy their obvious mistakes while charging top dollar. The wonderful lady with the severe black bruising and difficult recovery paid Dr T 7.5K in 2018/19 to ensure she would receive the best outcome but that didn't happen. In the end her result is too subtle and still has a long philtrum. So far, I've never seen lips get that black. So scary. Thanks to people like you for being honest even though it's painful and disappointing. We can only research so much and then make a choice, trust, and hope for the best. I hope you update with a successful revision outcome.

Sorry! I didn't know my massive comment would post as a big of wall words. I thought it post in paragraphs. Ugh

Does it look better now?

Oh no! Do you have pics of final result?!

Have you considered tattooing your lip line. If you're in the LA area sashiko studio's work looks great. Good luck and sad to see this unexpected response for your revision request.

I feel your pain. I went through 3 lip lifts (not a choice) and corner lip lift in London, all done by the ‘best plastic surgeons’ in Harley Street. The last surgeon, who specialises in reconstructive surgery, left me disfigured, with a massive asymmetry (I looked as if I had a cleft lip) and severely downturned corners. In the end, I got fixed up by a Polish plastic surgeon from Warsaw, Dr Osuch. He trained Lip Lift procedures under Dr Mascaro and Ben Talei. He performed a half lip lift, to fix the asymmetry, and corner lip lift in two stages. He literally saved my face.

Mascaro actually did the wrong lip surgery on me. He did nothing we discussed, he has mentally and physically harmed me. He has no regrets for what he has done I would not recommend him.He has deformed me and it cannot be corrected only improved. he’s not all people make him out to be. Please give that a second thought
