Are you happy you had it done? I am seriously looking at having the procedure. Do you have any recommendations or advice? Thank u
January 16, 2017
I am VERY happy! I think it has made a big difference for such a relatively inexpensive and easy procedure.
January 14, 2017
I think your lip looks great!
January 16, 2017
Thank you so much!!

Are your nostrils the same?
January 16, 2017
Yes. I haven't seen any noticeable distortion after the 3 week mark. In the beginning there was swelling everywhere but after the swelling had subsided, everything is fine.

Looks good- is the swelling still diminishing?
January 3, 2017
Thanks! Swelling is all gone. Top lip is still very stiff and I can't smile big. I think this tight feeling should last a few more weeks.

Hows it going - How is the scar? Can you post another pic? I'm going for mine soon and so scared!
January 13, 2017
Don't be scared! This is such an an amazing procedure. I did heal pretty well. 3 weeks post op, it is just red. It's very cold where I live and it looks like my nose is a little irritated from blowing my nose. People can't tell I had anything done.

your results look very nice! please keep us updated!! you dont seem bruised or swollen much, seems like you are healing fast, your incision is very light too
January 13, 2017
Thank you!! I luckily healed well. The scar on my left side isn't perfect, it stretched a little and is a little bumpy but I'm not worried. I am sure after it is complexly healed, it will look more smooth. If not, there are always treatments that can be done.

It took at least 6 weeks for that tight feeling to subside. I could smile big (carefully) after a few weeks, but continued feeling tight for a while. But it was totally worth the minimal discomfort.
January 16, 2017
I agree. Completely worth it. Still can't really smile but I am being patient

I only want it so my teeth will show when I talk and smile. After Invisaligns, the orthodontist had to slightly sand my front teeth to look even ..and now they're too short! A lipnlift was suggested but seems awfully extreme..

Hey girl, I'm going to have this done on the 10th and was just browsing other people's healing pictures to see how long it takes for the swelling to go down. For 5-6 days post, you look awesome. The results look absolutely fantastic! Thanks for posting pics.

My swelling was pretty bad. I rocked the chipmunk look for 4 solid days. On the 5th it went down enough to go out in public. The 6th day (which is today) the swelling is very slight and barely noticeable. I took Arnica and Bromelain for a few days before and for a few days after the surgery which I think helped. Good luck on the surgery. Ask me any questions- happy to help. I love the results of this procedure.
