Hello again, let's get real here and look at the downside of the lip lift.
The scar is deep and terrifies me, especially my right side.

After removing sutures!
There still are internal sutures he said. However, today was my last appointment with Dr. Hilinski, as I'm going back to east cost. I will add close pictures of the scar soon.

Thanks for the update!
You look fantastic and it's only 1 week! Congrats!
Is your lip lift skin only or with muscle hemming?
Where are the internal sutures?

He Hilinski does not do muscle hemming because he feels there are risks. He discusses it on his website.

I'm on week 7 since my lip lift surgery. I've had 3 spitting stitches in the last 2 weeks that have been painful to pull out. I've read other people say they came out easily for them, but not in my case. My doctor is six hours away so I had to take them out by myself. The good part is, the holes will close up the next day like it never happened. Hopefully you don't go through the same thing.

Don't forget that you are still swollen which accentuates shadows around scars. Over time they will flatten out but laser and needling can help to smooth things out. Try not to worry.
Just take it easy and continue to be careful and do all of the good things which you are already doing such as using the hydrogen peroxide and keeping the area clean. Oddly my doctor always said to keep the area dry but every situation is different. I never had this surgery, and since it is so close to or practically IN your mucous membranes it may be important to keep it moist which is the desirable and normal status for mucous membranes.
