After researching a lot of doctors, I finally decided on Dr. Scott Harris in Plano Texas. I based this on the paper he and a couple of other doctors wrote "The Endonasal Lip Lift." I don't recall who mentioned it on this website but that led me to him. No one here has any reviews of Dr. Harris' lip lift so I hope I am not making a big mistake in choosing him!

Had my surgery about two hours ago. Very uncomfortable now as numbing is wearing off so will just put up a few photos for now and will update later.

Thank you for your post!
Wish you smooth recovery from your LL procedure.
I really like your nose to lip distance, tooth show and increased volume in your upper lip. Congratulations !
Do you know how many mm of skin were removed?
Do you have to go back to have stitches removed or these will dissolve ?
Looking forward to your updates.

He measured the distance after I asked how many and he rattled off a bunch of numbers in centimeters. I will fly back in to have the stitches removed next Thursday. He said the only dissolvable stitches were inside the nose, the outer ones were not.
I am having sporadic bleeding now and that is kind of freaking me out. I keep swabbing with q-tips, I hope I'm not poking at it too much.
I've followed so many others posts so I knew the swelling would be bad but it is scary to see it on your own face, I hope this was not a mistake!

It must be very hard to go through this procedure, and especially to deal with the early stages of the recovery process when you have all the swelling, and irritation in the center of your face.
But the outcome can be sooooo rewarding, and I hope it will all be worth it !!!!
Did the doctor give you specific instructions for the post-op care?
Is there a nurse you can contact with any questions or concerns ?
If you have any concerns call his office, it will put your mind at ease. All the best!
Thank you in advance for your updates.

Thanks for your support katto! Yes, I'm to clean with q-tips and hydrogen peroxide twice a day and apply neosporin the first three days. Spoke with his assistant and she said the spotting is normal as long as it's not gushing blood. I am not looking forward to flying home tomorrow as I'm now surgical mask girl!

I'm glad you spoke with his assistant and is all normal !
Are you able to eat or just liquids?
Have a safe flight home, surgical masks are in fashion in some
parts of the world :)
Good luck!

Amazing, your lips look really nice. :)
I had my lip lift a week ago.
How many mm did you have removed?
Thank you!

Hi. Will you be able to get the MM length of your pre upper lip lift and the number of mm he excised? (Are you sure he gave you the distance in centimeters?)

I don't want to alarm you but your swelling is in the initial stage right now. I know because I have had 2 lip lifts. The 3rd day is usually the worst day and then it slowly subsides. Or you may be one of the lucky ones that doesn't swell very much but swelling is very normal. Your stitching looks incredible, so you probably won't have much of a scar at all. Good luck in your travels home but I really don't see the point in having to fly back just to have stitches removed. Your GP or any walk in clinic can do it.

Maybellineo,
Thanks for the advice. Yes it's worse, I am going to post day 2 photos and I'm a real mess, expecting the worse for tomorrow as well!
Your right about the stitches, it is a pain to have to go all the way back and after all my running around I feel like I'm coming down with something.

What made you decide to go with Dr Harris and the endonasal technique ? Did you see before and after photos( other than the ones included in the paper)?
What is your current lip length and how much will be removed?
Thank you for posting and wish you all the best on Dec 16.
