Hey!!!
So I first got a lip lift in March 2017. The reason for this was to shorten the distance between my nose and cupids bow, which was 1.9mm and gave me an 'old man/monkey' appearance...I basically had no top lip but my main concern was the distance between nose and mouth.
I had 8mm removed in total.

I had my first lip lift in March 2017 and removed 6mm. I noticed a veeeery subtle change but there was still a very noticeable distance still between my nose and lip and very little teeth show.
On October 11th I opted for a revision and decided to have more skin removed and (8mm).
The scar healed quite well following my first op and I am hopeful for the same this time round.

Your lip lift will look good. To me, you look swollen from the front and from the side view. Take a few more days resting, avoid mirrors, for swelling - sleep with your head elevated, and avoid foods with salt. In a few days you will feel better about your appearance. I have read plenty of reviews where the reviewer has regrets and adjusting to the change in their face. Your face looks good and your thoughts will settle down.

Thats good advice re salt and head elevation. I think you're right I need to relax a bit and stay away from the mirror, thank you for the feedback its much appreciated!

I think it is going to look beautiful, give it time to heal. Swelling distorts everything but it's part of the healing process, no worries, it will be gorgeous :)

Picture of my lip in May 2017 5 weeks after my first lip lift which I had in March 2017.
I felt there was still a noticeable gap and wanted to shorten the distance between my lip and nose more hence I opted for a revision surgery to remove more skin on October 11th.

I personally like the results from the first lip lift - looks natural. About the revision - can not comment because you look swollen. However it doesn't really matter because now you have done it and no way back:) The best you can do is to wait for the swelling to subside and get used to your new look:) I have got long upper lip a bonus after rhinoplasty but I am affraid to make a lip lift. A bit envious that you have the courage to do it :)

You are looking just perfect now after the second lip lift. I agree with your decision to go with round 2! You go girl.
