Here is my 1 month post -op update. The scar is still a bit dark, but it's not that bad. I'm going to post pics of how it looks when I cover it up with foundation.
I'm pretty happy, again it's very natural. With my features, I'm not a candidate for big blown up lips.

I haven't worn make up to cover it up :) The scar has felt tight today since I woke up. I have been sleeping with polysporin ointment on it and Vaseline or Aquaphor during the day. I'm optimistic about the healing, just have to be patient... all of my other scars have healed quite well in the past.

Looking good! Imho you could have had a bit more taken off but I think the final result will be subtle but definitive improvement.

Thanks! I personally think that any more taken off would have been too much. I wasn't looking for big, blown up lips, just a natural look. :) don't want to look like a blowfish.
if i change my mind, i can always get more taken off.

how are you healing?

Very well, thanks! Will post some pictures soon, was out of town for a while.

I agree with you- you have taken exactly the right amount. We all have different images of what " good" looks like and you are the person whose image matters the most because you have to watch yourself in the mirror everyday. I thinks it looks great! What was your starting mouth-to-nose distance??
May 31, 2016
Thanks :) Got approx 4.5 mm excised from approx 18mm original mouth-to-nose distance. I'm small with a small mouth so I certainly didn't want a horse-mouth or blowfish-mouth!

So I spent a decent amount of time applying foundation with a small fine bristle brush to the scar. I'm not sure if that was ill-advised, but I did it anyway... went out, and had a great time.
As you can see, it's not flawless and perfect but that was the best I could do, and no one noticed or said anything.
My scar is a horizontal line that's indented... I guess that means it hasn't fully finished healing yet. I hope the indent goes away eventually and becomes flush with my skin... it's like a horizontal creviced line. It was challenging to cover up with foundation, as I had to apply a lot to fill the crevice in order for it to not look noticeable.
Anyway, I'm alternating Aquaphor, Vaseline, and Polysporin ointment and cream on the scar.
I included some shots of my mediocre makeup job on my scar. Even though it wasn't perfect, it was dark out and it felt so good to be able to get dressed up and put makeup on again.

Your lips looks great, but what does it feel like? Are you aware that your lip has been pulled up/out?
May 9, 2016
thanks, the scar is a still a bit stiff and sensitive, so I do feel the scar when I grin or laugh. As for my lip, it felt a bit more awkward when I first got it done, with all the swelling.
Now, there is a part of my upper lip in the centre that was not exposed before. And now that it is, it's constantly getting dried and chapped! I'm hoping that it will soon become desensitized to being exposed.

I am 7 months out and I still feel the pull at the base of my nose. Your scar will change over time. And if the worse case is that you have an indentation there, you can always use filler.
