Vermillion Corner Lip Lift
I’m writing this review because, prior to my procedure on June 9th, 2024, I struggled to find many reviews specifically about the vermilion corner lip lift. I hope sharing my experience will provide useful insight for others considering this procedure.
To begin, I want to highlight the exceptional professionalism and care I received from my doctor and his team. I’ve been a patient of theirs for about four years, and throughout the entire process, they were incredibly attentive, thorough, and compassionate. Their support made me feel both comfortable and confident in my decision to proceed with the treatment.
Three years before opting for surgery, I had tried dermal fillers several times in an attempt to lift the corners of my mouth. While the fillers provided small, temporary improvements, I was never fully satisfied with the results. A year before the vermilion corner lip lift, I had a bullhorn lip lift, which I was generally happy with. However, while the bullhorn lift successfully lifted my upper lip, I noticed it made the corners of my mouth appear even flatter, rather than more defined. This ultimately led me to consider the vermilion corner lip lift as a solution to address my concerns.
The procedure was performed under local anesthesia and took about 40 minutes. Immediately following the treatment, my upper lip was extremely swollen for about three days. By day 4-5, the inflammation had largely subsided, but I was disappointed to find that the lift was so minimal that I began to regret my decision. After two weeks, the corners of my lips had returned to their original size and appearance, leaving me with very subtle results and visible scars.
Now, five months post-procedure, the scars above the corners of my lips have nearly faded, but there are still small scars at the corners themselves, which continue to bother me. In hindsight, I believe the amount of skin that was removed was too minimal, resulting in an almost nonexistent lift.
My advice to anyone considering this procedure would be to think carefully about whether the potential scars are worth the results. It’s also essential to ensure that your doctor understands your expectations in detail. In my case, I feel that we may have been too conservative with the amount of tissue removed, and the lift I achieved was barely noticeable.
