I just got married! My lip lift was done in plenty of time to fully heal for the big day. I have had some requests to update with new scar pictures so here are a few that I took this morning right after waking up. I'm not wearing any makeup in the pics. There is hardly any scar. I don't think people other than me or my husband can see it, even without makeup.

Thank you for sharing it really does look great - you must be thrilled! I am booked in to have this in a few weeks in the UK and have booked 12 days off work. Is the swelling down enough by that point to not feel like you have a crazy different face?? [RS bleep]

Well congratulations I'm excited for you! For me, the only concern with going back to work was the visible incision site, not swelling, bruising, or anything else. There may have been residual swelling but if there was I couldn't tell. I just wanted to make sure I could dab some concealer over the pink area under my nose, and that did the trick! I am happy to report that my face IS crazy different, but not in a bad way, lol. When I went back on day ten, a lot of coworkers could tell something was different, but they couldn't pick out exactly what, you know? Twelve days sounds like a good time.

Tomorrow will mark one month since I had the surgery. Last week there was mild soreness in a few spots along the incision. The incision became more pink-looking, and I noticed a tiiiiny bit of pus in one spot. So I started up again with the bacitracin and all that went away in a day or two. Then I found a few stitches poking out, and they came out. The skin all seems to have knit together pretty much by now. I no longer feel like I'm "healing;" I just feel healed (Though the skin will obviously continue to get better). I feel comfortable going without makeup now. You can't tell there was an incision under my nose when looking at me. My lip changed shape between weeks two and four. At week two I felt that most of the lift effect was in the centre of my lips and I was wishing that the sides had lifted a bit too for a less slope-y look. Well I don't know how, but that happened gradually in the following two weeks! I am even more pleased with the result now.

Would you mind posting updated pictures? I'd love to see them! Your lip looks beautiful, I notice you went back to work after 10 days did you feel comfortable doing that? xx

Thank you for the compliment. I'll post some pics today. I would have preferred to heal for another week before returning to work, but only because I think that would have made the incision even less noticeable with makeup. As it was, I only had a few close friends at work notice. Comfort-wise I was fine to return to work at 10 days.

Hey there I noticed a tiny bit of pus around my stitches too. Have used an antiseptic wipe to wipe it away but not sure what else to use? Looks clean now though??

Sounds like you're doing the right thing. Apply bacitracin and if it gets better great. If it gets worse call your doctor.
