WORTH IT$4,500
My incision is not as red but the inside of my nose is still swollen and hard. It's still hard to smile. I've been massaging coconut oil three times a day on my incision line.
I would still like more volume on my top lip.

your lip shape is really pretty and youthful. I keep checking back to see your progress. Thanks for sharing with us. Looking forward to seeing the final result down the road but it already looks beautiful.

Thank you:)
I'm glad you see a difference. I didn't tell anyone I was getting a lip lift and not one of my clients or neighbors has noticed I got it done.

Day three

Today is day three and I have no pain. But, If I laugh or smile it hurts. My incision looks better. I clean it three times a day with distilled water and vinegar. Then apply bacitracin.

What a beautiful result. Don't worry about the scar. It will fade. I'm little over 2 months and you really can't see it. Keep moisturize the aria all the time, is important. The most important you look awesome

Just out of curiosity does cleaning with distilled H2O & vinegar offer any special benefits? Thanks

Not really sure. I read it on a plastic surgeons website and figured it's probably better than tap water.

I read this on a plastic surgeon's website as well and have been cleaning my sutures (for an unrelated surgery) with distilled water and vinegar up until today - I did a little more looking into it (by reading studies) and it looks like you can get burns from vinegar. Hydrogen peroxide should also not be used, as it destroys new skin. My research suggests that the best thing to use is pure water. I'm using distilled, which I think would be preferable to tap water as it doesn't contain any minerals/chlorine/etc.
