2 weeks out!
Anagg423January 18, 2018
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!

Your lip looks great. I am scheduled for a lip lift on 2/12/18. Your write up and pics are most helpful. Thank You. Also the comments are informative about the scaring cream. Thank You. My lip isn't as full as yours so I was considering have a permanent filler added to the top lip. I am nervous, wondering if that's a good idea.

I agree with the makeup!!! I avoid it when I go to work and wear it only on weekends.. Some people on here have commented that airbrush makeup covers it evenly and very nicely .. I am going to look into this!!! And my lips still go through dry phases too, I use Tarte Lip Scrub and it makes them SO SOFT!!! Then just aquaphor on it and they're good!! For scar cream, I went to a PA who does my botox and she gave me Stratamed, which is a medical grade silicone (so far I really like it!!) You look so good!!!!!

Did you have any sense of not being able to feel your lip? I want to get this procedure but curious about recovery of sensation

Stitches Out!
Anagg423January 12, 2018
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!

WOW WOW WOW!!! Your whole face is rejuvenated, amazing right?! Stunning results and it keeps getting better ... AGREE - the numbers are just numbers, they don't mean anything when looking at facial balance. I felt the same: I don't care about MM, not my concern, as long as the result matches the rest of my face. And YES, it is still a scar on your face that you need to take proper care of so it fades nicely, which I am sure it will. Mine is still a little bumpy too and I had an internal stitch poke out, but Dr M advised how to handle that. If you need advice on scar cream, a lot of people on here use Kelo Cote or BioCorneum. I went to the woman who does my botox and she gave me Stratamed and I also ordered Strataderm and will swap between the two. I am just a week with scar therapy and slowly it is fading!!!! Give me any makeup tips you have, I haven't mastered that one yet lol ... Happy Friday!!!

Thank you so much for the advice!! And yes we all have different facial structures, lips, long faces/short faces haha - it really is about balance and harmony. Just based on Real Self and Dr M’s prior patients testimonials and pictures - it was easy to trust Dr M’s judgment and go with his recommendations. I also noticed an internal stitch is poking out! What did Dr M tell you to do?! Should I email him to let him know or just wait for it to come out on its’ own?

I emailed him and he said no tugging on it of course, and fake cleaned scissors (like the small ones for nose hairs lol) and cut it down as much as you can. And then make sure the area is clean (put ointment on the spot to be safe) and the body will just dispose of whatever is still sticking out on its own!

Wow!! I'm so shocked at how great you look after only 6 days. You must be so thrilled with your beautiful results! Thank you for posting your experience. You've made me serious consider traveling to Florida to see Dr. Mascaro.
