Lip Lift for Resting B**ch Face

ORIGINAL POST

I've wanted this for awhile, but am terrified about the scar and what I'll tell people. What do you guys think? Do you tell everyone before hand? After?

I'm sick of smiling when talking to avoid looking grumpy. I like my smile, but there is a line across my upper lip even when smiling because it's so long.

My face is asymmetric, I think from TMJ, actually, and am also considering a chin implant, or fillers in cheeks to lift my trajín jawline. I'm hoping a short philtrum will be all I need.

I'm so excited and so scared!

Wish Clinic in Taipei is a gorgeous state of the art facility. It's impeccably clean and was designed by Dr. Chuang himself, who used to be a sculptor. Dr. Chuang and staff speak perfect english, as I don't speak Mandarin, and I felt like I was very well listened to and cared for. Everything was very well organized and I felt completely comfortable. Highly recommend.

I want to do this also. First, want an excellent doctor and a fair price. I've heard leaving the country and having it done saves money and you get to spend the rest of your time and money vacationing and healing. Looking for recommendations . Also-live in New York so any sugggestions on doctors here- or abroad- would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Deb

Have you researched any doctors? Doctor Talei in LA is really good at these. His fee is 4500. But there is no scar from what I noticed on any of his patients.

I was terrified too, but I am now 12 days post op and doing really well. As long as you have confidence in your doctor, I think reducing the space above your lip will look really good! Of course it is hard to have 100% confidence, but just trust in the choice that you're making. Did you schedule the LL yet?

To cut into the nostril or not?

tikitarita
I've been researching and reading so many reviews on here and it seems like it really depends on your nose whether or not it will turn out nicely when the surgeon cuts through the nose sills. I want to hide the scar, but don't want to look like miss piggy...! I'm leaning toward cutting up into the nose, as I don't have huge sills. What do you all think!?

Noooo! You have great natural sills like I used to have. Absolutely do not have him cut into your silk base! Mine are half gone and the natural curvature of my nostrils is no longer there.

I think your results look great! I think I prefer that there's no sill in a little area as the ones under the sill have such an obvious scar and some look like the nose has tilted up like the whole nose was removed and put back... looks more noticeable to me.

Thank you! And true, but I have a scar too :( I think you'll get great results!! Can't wait to see!

Consultation and date set!

After emailing a few places I decided on a consult with Dr Chuang at wish clinic in Taipei. He was a sculptor previously and his office was designed by him- including massive sculptures that are just unreal. I feel confident he'll give me the lips I want. I have the date scheduled for December 23rd, because of travels and my son's birthday. He said to avoid smiling, singing, etc for one month,so I pushed the date back.
