i booked my consultation a month before. it was pretty quick to book the appointment. they asked you upfront to pay for the consultation fee. i had no problem with it because i know i will do the surgery anyway. so i had my consulatation friday june 3rd 2016. dr tong was very thorough. he told me about complications and he asked me about my expectations and what was my end goal. so i told him that the distance between my nose and upper lip is very long. he measured it to be 23mm or 2.3cm. i told him to go aggressively. he said he will take off 1cm or 10mm. but i think i will ask him to take off 12mm cuz from what ive read in other girls who has done the procedure, that it does stretches out a bit. o when it does stretch out 2mm i will have 10mm left... and the average distance for female is 11mm to 13mm. and this was my end goal... a more feminine lips. after i was done with my consultation, i was handed over to the manager who handles scheduling and cost. she gave me a quote and she worked her magic to fit me in for june 16 2016. they were very busy and full but she managed to squeeze me in cuz i told her i have a pride party to go to on july 3rd. thank you miss jean :) anyway.... ill update after my surgery

How long was yours to begin with and how much did he take off and how long is it now? Sorry for asking to many questions cuz I'm planning to ask him to take off 13mm cuz I know it will stretch after healing

Please update! I just got my lip lift June 7th. This surgery seems so simple (compared to other procedures) but makes a world of difference. You are going to be happy with it.....maybe not right away. I have a lot of swelling.... all temporary of course. Oh yeah make sure you buy straws before your procedure. I'm having a little trouble drinking my tea! Best of luck!

Yeah, I did. My Dr. is a perfectionist. It took 2 to 2 1/12 hours. I got nervous halfway through. If you have anxiety I advise bringing your own music. Wear your most comfortable clothes (maybe a sweater in case its a very cool room). If you are more likely to get anxiety I suggest you talk with your Dr about it. Not to sound negative, just be ready. My Dr repeatedly told me, "just remember how long you wanted to do this." My legs got restless. Do your best to relax, and have your pain relievers ready at home. I drove to and from the appointment by myself (2 hour drive each way) and did not have a problem. Oh yeah, this is day 3 and my swelling is the worst! Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I will tell you what I know as I go.
