As far as I can tell, there is only one doctor here in Calgary who will perform a liplift. I did go for a consultation with that doctor, and was unfortunately horrified by the whole experience. I wish I could travel to Boston to see Jeffrey H Siegel. I'm so so impressed with realself user lolabrown's liplift. It looks amazing. However, the quote I received is just too much for me right now, and ai really really want to have this procedure done, since I've always been unhappy with the large space between my nose and my upper lip.
I had a phone consultation with Dr. Tong in Toronto, and I had showed him lolabrown's before and after pictures. It was a very reassuring and positive experience. I just may go with this doctor depending on if he has an opening when I have time off work. This will sound stupid, but I'm waiting for mercury to not be in retrograde anymore to book, since it's not a good idea to make a big decision like this when a retrograde is active. So...after September 22 I will make a decision about it.

Oh my goodness! You have no idea just how lucky you are to have listened to your gut! Choosing Dr. Zakhary to do your lip lift would have been a huge mistake. My starting lip length was half of yours yet she said I'm an excellent candidate! She chopped off another half, so I barely have any upper lip left at all. Not to mention, the scarring is absolutely horrifying. Thank God you won't have to go through the same experience with Zakhary. Dr. Tong, on the other hand, seems to do really good work, so I hope you get the result that you desire! Best of luck. :)

Omg, I'm so sorry to hear about your experience... I haven't been able to find ANY lip lift reviews here that Dr. Zachary has performed. I think it would help if you could write a review and post pictures.

Hi again! I did write a review but it was removed a few weeks later. I believe all activity on this and other rating sites is monitored by either Dr. Zakhary herself or her office staff. They must have submitted a dispute form because my review suddenly disappeared with no explanation-same thing happened when I tried posting on RateMds.

Oh, that's weird! I tried posting a review about just my consultation with her. It was denied! Wow! I guess we know how this site operates now...

Hi, Just to let you know that I trust Dr Tong very much as I have had a few procedures done with him, they are all facial, and I am going back for another procedure including a corner lip lift. I think he is a fantastic cosmetic surgeon. I did a lot of research at the beginning to select him. I am not sure about the planetary alignments but I am pleased with my results.

I can't edit the doctor on here, so I'll start over.

I just booked my procedure with Dr. Tong.
I'll be travelling from Calgary since there are no good lip lift surgeons here. I've only found one doctor that actually performs this procedure here, and I decided against booking with her after having a consultation.
So... once again I'll travel to have cosmetic surgery. :o)
I'm very excited about this, as I think a lip lift would greatly improve my overall facial features. I've been using fillers forever to create a pout, but as I've gotten older they don't seem to do the trick anymore.
I've shown Dr. Tong the pictures from lolabrown's lip lift review, and he will do the same incision pattern that curves into the nostrils and a bit around the nostrils.
I can't wait!

Good luck! Is your current philtrum length 25 mm?
October 5, 2016
Not for long = ) You will end up looking great with a lolabrown style lip lift. Looking forward to your updates/transformation.

So he doesn't usually do lifts like Dr Siegel but he will alter his customary way of doing the incision? Sounds risky to have him try to replicate something he doesn't routinely do...wonder why he doesn't find Siegel's method a good way to do this procedure?
October 6, 2016
When I talked to him it sounded like he does do it routinely. However I haven't seen any of his before/after pictures. I'm hoping he adjusts the procedure according to decided look, and in fact finds Dr Siegel's method a good one. I'm not sure where all the assumptions are coming from.
