Lip Lift Revision / POLAND / Dr Osuch Clinic

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.

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. :)

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.
