I had my second bullhorn lip lift performed on...
WORTH IT
I had my second bullhorn lip lift performed on Friday 7th October 2016. After my first surgery that took place on February 2016 I felt that I did not have enough skin removed. That was the main reason why I decided to have the revision. After the first lip lift I stayed in touch with the clinic. We exchanged many emails over the next few months and both came to conclusion that the second lip lift would be very beneficial. My doctor was understanding and agreed to remove more skin for a small fee. I was really nervous about the procedure because I remembered well the pain of local anesthetic shots and discomfort during and after the surgery. However my overall experience was great, just like the first time. Staff at the clinic is very friendly and supportive. I am really happy that I went for a "touch up" to the same place.

Thank you for posting your revision experience , how many mms did he remove this time? Are you able to post any photos. Has the healing process been exactly the same this time?
This is very helpful to me, kind regards.

He removed 3/4mm this time. Healing process is the same. I will post more information within the next few days.

Thank you and I am currently in the same position as you, I had 6 mm removed but felt strait away it wasn't quite enough. I am considering a second one at some stage , so your review and tips are very helpful and much appreciated !!. I'm so glad it went well for you. If you can post anymore pictures of your before and afters that would be wonderful to see the comparison.

Thanks for the review!
Can you post your post op photo, and what is the current length of your upper lip?
October 25, 2016
I will post more pictures soon. Yes, I measured my philtrum yesterday and it is 11/12mm long at the moment.

Thanks! 11-12 mm appears to be the ideal length for female.
Looking forward to your picks.

Day of the surgery
I arrived at the clinic at 10am to have a very brief consultation and to get ready for the operation. I travelled with a friend of mine and she had a chat with the same doctor about her lips. Unfortunately her face proportions are not making her suitable patient for a lip lift procedure. I thought it was great that doctor was honest about it. Other surgeon could just say YES! I will do anything you like, just pay me the money (but he didn't). Everything went smooth even though I was extremely stressed and felt nauseous. Luckily Dr Osuch knows how to calm me down. He talks in a very friendly manner and there is always music playing in the background (I love it!). My second lip lift took a little bit longer then an hour. Doctor told me that he cut off 3/4mm. During my first surgery he removed approximately 6mm. If I remember well I started off with 20mm. I measured my philtrum yesterday and it is 11/12mm long at the moment. To be honest I think it's enough. My lip corners started to drop a little, so I am glad the procedure wasn't too drastic.
To impatient people here on Real Self: I have more pictures to upload and lots of tips! Please bear with me. :)

Thank you so much for sharing.
I can't wait to see the results of your revision! I'll be updating your page every single day!
The distance you've had looks a lot like mine, so I really want to see how this has affected your look.
I wish you a speedy recovery. xx

Hi, I just looked through the pictures you posted. The last one was of "very visible scar" 6 months after your first lift.. i know its only a month after your second op, but im wondering, how is your scar now. Also were you recommended those scar reducing creams and do you find they work?
August 30, 2017
Yes, my scar is still visible. It's more white now. When healing it was pink. I will look into laser treatment on my scar next year as I plan to have a rhinoplasty soonish.

Day 4 | Bandage Off
So here is my face and lips on day 4 just a couple of minutes after taking the bandage off. I didn't feel any pain at this point only discomfort when talking. Smiling was impossible and still is limited 3 weeks after my op. I do recommend leaving the scabs on. They look gross but have an important purpose. If you try to remove them you might end up with bigger scar. Bear that in mind. I just clean the wound very gently with TCP (liquid antiseptic) once a day.
Congrats! Glad you're so pleased with your results. It would be helpful for others interested in this procedure if you'd provide a few more details such as what you experienced your first few days post-op, and your best recovery tips.
