I've had a few questions. Here are some update photos. Still happy I did it but have scar tissue inside (my) left nostril (right in photos) and lost nasal sill.

Would love to get a measurement of your upper lip now, if you can. Thanks for the update. I think it is so important for folks who do a review to take it through to the one year mark and you basically have done that. It took me a year to get my final result and a lot of extra $ on making the scar disappear.

For the first 4-6 months, the wound is laying down collagen. After that, my plastic surgeon told me, the scar will start to thin out on its own. If you are young, the scar is worse than if you are old. (Young folks have more collagen.) I had a raised scar area, which disappeared after two aggressive mechanical microneedling. (One session left some blood.) I also had some redness, on which I had the derm use a laser. The laser for redness had to be repeated multiple times.

I guess everyone is different, but I was faithful to good old aquaphor and then I just gave it a break and let it heal.

I'm glad you are pleased. Looks like you healed very well. I can hardly make out the scar.

Hi there! I am wondering how is your scar? I have slight wound separation in the sides of my nose and really hoping they will fill out and I won’t be left with an indented scar, did yours heal ok? Hope to hear from you!

I've healed very nicely. All the photos I take are in direct sunlight, no coverup. I am very happy with my tooth show but just wanted them a little plumper so did one syringe of Juvederm Ultra.

Holly hobby,
I read in you previous post prior to surgery that you are at about 18 mm. Could measure the distance now, I would like to know how much was removed.
Also, did you notice any negatives as a result of this procedure?
Is the scar easily covered with makeup?
Your results are so natural! The touch of the filler was a great idea!
Thank you in advance for the information.

Day 38
Everything is healing nicely and I am very pleased with my results. The nose one morning made a big improvement and seemed to, all of a sudden, shrink a lot overnight. There is still some welling but at a point where I am not bothered by it. No one seemed to notice anything but until the recent decrease in swelling it was VERY noticeable to me.
In the photos I'm posting today I have no cover up on the scar, which is fading day by day. Some days I put cover up, some not.
Overall I am happy I did this procedure. I never mentioned in my review that the procedure itself was painless ( I was dreading the shot but didn't even feel that) and had no pain in the following days.
As things post more updates as things heal.

Hollyhobby,
Thank you very much for your update!
I'm so glad your healing is going well.
I really like your results, love the teeth show and the shape of your lip.
Out of curiosity, do you know the length of your white lip now?
I would appreciate if you could give us an update 4-6 months post op,
It's very hard to see any updates few months after the procedure.
Thanks again!

Katto,
I will have my sister do an accurate measurement, she would be able to do it better than I would. She measured me before, I'll see if she remembers the number. I will continue to update as things seem to change from one week to another. Thanks for your response!

Would you do it again? Would you recommend it?
Do you think the benefit is greater that the issues such as scar tissue or nasal sill distortion you are left to deal with ?
I would appreciate an honest answer.
Can you please tell what is the length of your upper lip at this time.
I think it looks just perfect !
Thank you!
Yes I would do it again but would stay local until the stitches were taken out. I do think the benefit is greater than the issues and I am happy I have symmetry and no major scarring. Honestly, I do wish a little more was taken off but I know the majority of people here say that after this procedure. I am happy with the outcome and still have yet to get a correct measurement on my lip. Just by sight I know it is a difference and so I am trying to not get hung up on mm.
Thanks for all your positive comments!
Holly
I so appreciate your review and your honest answer to my question . The information and photos are invaluable !
I think you have a fantastic outcome!
I was wondering if you are wearing any make up in the recent photos, the scar is almost invisible. Did you receive any special treatment such as injection or laser to reduce the scarring ?
Again, thanks so much for the update!
