Chronicles of a lip lift Sugar Land, TX

You're Lips look amazing. I'm still looking for a Dr. who performs lip lifts in Northern Ca. I don't want to drive to Southern Ca. do you know of anyone with experience?

Zizi!!! i had to battle a little with the Dtt. to take off more than 4 millimiters so we decided for 5 and a tiny bit more. Anyways this is really life changing!!! A long meaningful hug to you!

I told you I wish I could have taken an extra 1mm. So I'm happy you got to convince the doc to do it for you. I might sound like a broken record but please don't forget not to stress the incision and keep it moisturizing. I used Vaseline. And clean it for avoiding infection. In case you doc used the dissolvable stitches, soon some will pop out. Don't touch them. Let it heal naturally. You really need it this surgery and definitely will benefit enormous from it. And you're so young, it will last forever. If you ever stop by NY, text me. We got to have a drink. Love yo

I am glad you won this "little battle" with your doctor because if he cut off less than is done, yors teeth wasnt be a visible... I hope you will add some pictures with your healing time :)

I will soon... thanks Jolka!

Hey Unoq thanks for the kind words, I hope you will be able to fix what went wrong. What happened to you? Send you a big hug.

Thanks! I was left with severe hypertrophic scarring. Apparently this was something to do with the way the incision was (or wasn't) closed. The only definitive solution is another upper lip lift/scar excision. But I have to wait for the excess skin to appear first.

oh no ! that's what i'm terrified about !

So is something you will be able to fix, it's good to hear. Please keep us informed so we can support you morally. This place is great to get moral support, because most of the women here (like me) travel alone to have their operations done. And it's amazing how much it can be done on a human level by writing a couple of lines of encouragement.

Ballerina doll, I'm sorry I scared you - honestly! Bear in mind I was young and not particularly well researched about the procedure at the time. There was not community like this to talk to other patients either. Just make sure you go to a doc who does a skin only technique and preserves the nostril openings. That's really important. It doesn't hurt to be on the conservative side either. There is a board certified doc who says a general "rule of thumb" is no more than 1/3 of the white lip to be taken off. I would agree with that, although of course everyone is different. If you do your due diligence, you'll be fine :)

Thanks fairy green. I'm definitely - if/when it's fixed - posting a pic of the result and the doc who fixes it too, just in case anyone else may be dealing with the problem I have. Through realself, I have met a handful of ladies who've had real problems with their lip lifts but many have gotten revisions plus the vast majority of people are very satisfied with the procedure. I've seen some beautiful work and yours is one of those :) In my case, I just want to make sure I get it right this time. I have one chance to improve it really, so I have to be sure I'm making the best choice of doc. Sometimes it's worth the wait. I don't think it will ever be able to be fixed entirely - I will always have a scar of some description and I don't have the openings to my nose anymore. But, here's hoping there's an exceptional doc out there who's willing to take on my case one day. And the support does help a lot :) it sure has meant a lot to me over the past 2 yrs. Thanks again

Zizi thank you for your support you are really gorgeous inside out. I really value your support and affection! Keep being what you are! So much love from me [RS bleep].

I love you Sarah . You are a sweetheart. I wished my Dr could do anything to fix your lip. Don't ever gave up on hope. :-]

Yes she does, she is an angel! I hope you can fix it. Send you a lot of hugs and healing energies. [RS bleep]
