LIP LIFT: Excellent Results. Sacramento, CA

ORIGINAL POST

My top lip has always been too thin. Yes, always...

My top lip has always been too thin. Yes, always had a 'cute smile' but with age recently even my creatively lip lined smile no longer impressed me. In fact my lips were dragging me down inside and outside. I knew I needed a lip lift! So I've been researching the best qualified doctors with positive lip lift reviews. I found about 3 but narrowed it down to Dr. Perry. 2 of his lip lift reviews impressed me; and one of the women appeared to identically have my top thin lip. Further, her outcome appeared excellent and she was exceptionally pleased.

Would love to see pics! Glad everything went well.

Ok, posting pics. Trying to get them in order.

Thats the best- lip lift I've ever seen! Congradulations.
Your Dr is better than the Beverly Hills Dr. who charges about 20,000 for this procedure. WOW you got a deal.
May 20, 2016
Vernali, thanks! What a great compliment. I must say i love my new lip shape. $2500. I feel so blessed. I figure the way my top lip was it's 100% better now.
May 20, 2016
Yeah and the procedure is more or less permanent. Maybe a few milimeters revision a decade from now or so.... much better than any foreign material in there.
May 20, 2016
Ann, yes I agree with you. Have a great weekend!

Gorgeous lips! I too am looking into this procedure. Do you have a pic of your before lip lip without the lipstick so I can see how thin your lip was?
Also how did you come across this doctor? Lips look beautiful!
May 30, 2016
Thank you, Theresa. Yes, tap my name and it will show you under my review and "questions" my thin top lip. I found Dr Perry on realself. This is not as full as full as some women prefer but it's a HUGE difference for me! I figure later if I want I can we do this and couple of years or even play around with a Juvaderm to fill it out.

Thank you for telling us about your lip lift.
I am planning to make that surgery too, and my Doctor told me, that with time the skin may to streach out, and the lip will become longer again.... That worries me.
Can you put pore pics with your look of today?
When you have your surgery done ?
How your lip evolves with time ?
Thank you!

THAT IS TODAY. I'M ONLY ON DAY 7. The surgery was one week ago Friday on April 29th 2016. ;) forget about your doctor go to a professional that does the lip lifts. Also tell your doctor that juviderm only last for one month. Lip lift is permanent... keep in mind everyone ages. The skin ages always. But its not going to fall down all of a sudden. You might want to touch it back up 10 years from now. Your doctor obviously is not the one to be talking to.

Thank you !
Do you know what a technique your Doctor used for your Liplift?
Did he cut just the skin only, or deep muscle suturing technique has been done too?
May 7, 2016
Only skin.... not a good idea to touch the muscle due to too many nerves. Read up on it. Its not advisable to touch the muscle area. Of the mouth. But the good news is in 10 years or even in 5 whatever I can always good little touch up.
May 7, 2016
Socco, no fair. Pls share pictures of your lip lift too. Where did you have it done?

I had my lip lift done 3 years ago. Only skin had been cuted.
The result was nice for 1 month only, and than, my lip fall down and now it looks exactly like before the operation. Now Doc juggest me secondary surgery, and this time - with muscle deep suturing technique.
Thats why I am interested in others girls's experiences....
May 7, 2016

Hi Sokko, I had a lip lift with Dr. Randal Haworth in 2008. He did the skin and muscle hemming technique. My lip has not dropped at all and no other issues. I am very happy I chose him. He does a lot of these type of lip lifts. HTH

Like I said, I had the muscle hemming lip lift and am very happy. I hope it works out for you this time. :)

Lennox, if mine 'drop' or stretch in the next 2 years, I will consider your procedure after research it more thorough. I watched Dr Rodriguez lip lift video in Baltimore or he is from Baltimore. He is against the muscle technique saying there is too high of a risk. He only does skin and it's absolutely beautiful so far all of his clients have not complained about dropping.
