I think the difference is more obvious when you look at the whole face; it's a subtle way to rebalance features. I am surprised that this procedure is not more popular. A lot of surgeons are put off by the visible scars, and yet, an experienced one can make the scar nearly invisible.

Looks great, happy for you! Do you still notice a change in the nose/nostrils?
July 21, 2016
Thank you. My nostrils look fine now; i've always had wide nostrils but they are back to pre-op state now.

You look fantastic! Do you know how many mm he removed? (looks like 3-4 mm in the markings)
July 25, 2016
I had 6mm removed.
July 25, 2016
The doctor cut outside of the marking as a last minute decision to go from 4 to 6mm

Thanks for your answer, I'm really impressed with your results!
July 26, 2016
Thank you, I am really happy I did it.

Wow what a dramatic difference. You look so sexy. You do not look to me as though you need a corner lift at all.
July 25, 2016
Thank you! The corner lift will help with my constant frown in repose; I just look like Im constantly sulking even when i am happy
July 22, 2016
WOW! your corners look great. I'm hoping my corners change too. I had a lip lift 2 weeks ago and now my mouth has a triangle shape to it, I HATE it!
July 25, 2016
At 2 weeks you are not looking at the final results, give it another 2 before you can judge the outcome. I had a triangle mouth the first week too

Hi, I love your results. I'd like to know if you lips dropped down few mm after the lip lift? as my doctor removed too much skin (8 mm, I was 15-16) and I'm hoping it will go down (i'm 7 weeks post op) ... so as you are 14 months post op you may know

It has been more than a year since my lip lift and I must say that I am so glad I did it. I was looking at some pictures from a few years back and comparing it to some recent ones and yes, there is a marked improvement. The good thing about this procedure is that if scar heals nicely, the change looks so natural that nobody will be able to tell that you have done something. It's a subtle but impactful change, I wish I did it earlier. I will still do corner lip lift some day but for now I am still enjoying the positive change.

Are your nose/nostrils changed from the lip lift? Looks great!

Day 9

I have trouble uploading pictures but I'll try again today. The good news - no visible scar except for a small indentation where one of the stitches was too tight and left a mark just under the nostril but only cam be seen with a magnifying glass. Redness has subsided and there is some residual swelling in the tio of my nose and the nostrils.
The bad news- I don't see much difference from before in repose, my lip look the same but a tiny bit lifted. I still have some tooth show when I open my mouth but it seems less than just a few days ago. I guess I was hoping for a more dramatic difference. I still do not regret doing this but as time passes I'm less thrilled about the outcome.

U can always go back and cut extra more skin as i did .... I did lip lift 6 months ago and i did it again one week ago... I like my self now more just Iam Waitting for all swelling to go down .
June 1, 2015
My problem is I don't have the time to take off, and this won't change over next year or so...I waited a few years for the stars to align so I can take a week off so having a re-do so soon is really not an option.
June 1, 2015
It might help to post the before and after photos side by side. This can give you a better sense of what change happened. But it looks like there has been an improvement.
June 1, 2015
Yes, I agree - I will post before/ after when I get the pictures from the surgeon's office.
June 3, 2015
How are you feeling now about the liplift now that the swelling has come down? I think it looks great.
June 5, 2015
Thank you for your review. Your lip looks nice, and such minimal scaring after only 10 days. If I get another procedure, I would like to get a lip lift. I just had my rhino 24 days ago. I said no more PS for at least a year :)
