57 Year Old Wants Fuller Lips

ORIGINAL POST

I am no stranger to lip fillers and fat transfers....

I am no stranger to lip fillers and fat transfers. It seems now that my lips just absorb the injections without any improvement and then I'm still bruised for another 7 days. I've been looking at lip lifts done on patients closer to my age, to see how the results have been. I was very surprised what a difference it makes in providing a much more youthful appearance!!! I discussed this with my PS, Dr. Kamran Khoobehi. He has done my prior surgeries and he said I was a good candidate for this procedure. I had it done in his office with local anesthesia.

You look great, 15yrs younger. Be Patient with the healing process.

Thank you!! I feel like Miss Piggy right now! Lol!! I know the swelling will diminish.
May 20, 2017
It seems the amount of swelling is so personal. I had LL on May 9, hardly any swelling. You just don't know what will occur. But swelling will subside and you really look fabulous already.

Gorgeous! How do you feel now when you see the new look? Do you feel you see someone younger and different? Wondering about the emotional impact?
May 20, 2017
Thank you!! I've already had a lower face and neck lift last year, so this is much more minor. I'm still swollen, especially my nose, and having some bruising under my eyes. My lips didn't seem to swell much and I love the way they look!! I get my stitches out on Tuesday, which will be wonderful!! I love my new lips!! No complications and the pain is minimal. I should of had this done sooner!!
May 20, 2017
As far as any emotional impact, that all went out the window when I had my lower neck and face lift last year. My recovery was slow and I looked like an alien for awhile. Of course I'm super thrilled with the results!! Dr. Khoobehi is amazing!!
May 20, 2017
love your results! i have similar lips as you pre surgery how long was your philitrum before and after?
May 20, 2017
My philtrum was about 20mm before and 15mm now. I'm hoping it will stay close to that. I'm happy with the amount that was removed. I'm still swollen so it's hard to tell. Any more removed would of made me look rabbit like!!! Lol!!

Thank you!

Can you address this? I have read it can turn the corners of your lips down as you pull up the middle. Then they do a corner lift.
May 22, 2017
I have noticed that too, but hopefully not on me. I only had about 4 mm removed & I have had a lower facelift last year. Everyone is different. I am not familiar with having the corners of the mouth lifted, although I have seen the pics & postings.

Thanks for mentioning a 'corner lift'. I'm thinking about having a lip lift also....the more information the better. Thank goodness for Realself!

Look at the postings on corner lifts. Many of them have so many problems and scarring. My PS said no when I mentioned it. Have you talked to your PS about corner lifts? My lip lift went smooth with out any issues.. When I put some make up over it, it's invisible. I'm 2 1/2 weeks post op.

5 Days Post Op

Day 5 from surgery. The swelling is getting better as well as the bruising. My stitches really itch and feel like pine needles in my nose. I clipped some of the long ends off!!!! Everything is going well. The only make up I have on on these pics is lipstick.

It was the finishing icing on a beautiful cake. You got phenomenal result. Thanks for sharing.
May 21, 2017
Thank you!! I can't wait to get the stitches out on Tuesday!!! I'm having awful allergies and I'm dried out like the desert with antihistamines. It's not like I can really blow my nose. Lol!!
May 22, 2017
How hide scars ?
May 24, 2017
I got the stitches out today. I will be using scar cream to help heal the scars. A little bit of concealer and powder covered it up when we went out tonight.
May 22, 2017
Great results!

Forgot to ask you..:where'd you find the BioCorneum??! It really works within days. Do u use it in the morning and before bed? Has anyone noticed anything different on you. Btw, you have amazing eyebrows. Jealous.
June 2, 2017
My PS surgeon gave me the BioCorneum. I use it twice a day. If I go out, I blot it with a tissue and use a little bit of makeup on the scar. I went to Ulta today to stock up!! I had my eye lash exstensions done, and nobody could see my scar!!! Yes, my eyebrows are microbladed and my eye liner is tattooed on the top and bottom. Very painful but worth it!!
