32 Years Old, Lip Lift with Dr Miguel Mascaro

It’s been a little under 2 weeks since my lip lift. As of Monday I was allowed to wear make up. Because the scar is in the beginning stages of healing I feel that make up makes the scar look more obvious - but I could just be over thinking it. I am looking forward to starting scar cream in a couple of weeks. The scar itself does get dry and flakey if I am not putting aquafor on it. Also my lips have begun peeling even more than during the first week of the procedure. Other than that I am loving how my lips look, I feel my face looks younger and just overall cuter lol. I am changing my review to worth it!

I had my stitches removed yesterday afternoon. I flew back home right after and was back at work today! Dr. Mascaro showed me my measurement and my lip is at 11 1/2 mm right now and should settle at 12 mm. I started with 17 1/2 mm. My 2 cents is that I see a lot of people fixated on the measurements but everyone’s face is different...before even measuring my face the doctor held two q-tips- one on each side of my lip and had me hold a mirror to my face. He played with lifting up the lip so I could see which look I liked best - and then after we agreed on the look- then he took measurements.
The scar is hard to see in pictures, it is red, swollen and a little bumpy. Even as tiny as it is - it is still a scar on your face - so it will take a little time getting used to. No makeup until Monday and I have to wait a few weeks before using scar cream. Still loving how it looks!
