Lip lift - the end result was pretty bad
ORIGINAL POST
I have always had too much space between my lip...

I have always had too much space between my lip and nose. I hated the way it made me look. I was a member of RBF. If I wasn't smiling, people thought I looked sad or angry. I was once teased about this and it stuck with me. This coupled with being very visual, all I notied were peoples lips, and how minimal everyone's distance between there lip and nose were and used to fantasize about what it would be like to have more of a top lip. I did fillers and not only did I look like a duck, it ended up messing my lip - it now turns down on my right side. I have a very asymetrical face and a scar under my bottom lip so the photos will always look lopsided. I don't see it when I look in the mirror - but the pictures show it. C'estt la vie - Until I win the lottery...

I'm healing pretty fast. I'm sore under my nose, it's tight there. I'll post some photos. I'm not the poster child of the "perfect lip lift" because I have so much asymmetry. I found that If I pull my jowels back, it looks perfect! that is with the exception of my scar (under my bottom lip). I may at some point do that procedure that makes the bottom lip fuller.

Hi there, I was communicating with another person on Real Self who passed along your feed. I just had lip procedures done by Dr. Haworth and can give you my feedback if you are interested. I just had this past Tuesday. I plan to write a review on here so you can wait for that too if you don't want to private message.

I was frightened when I first saw this photo. Nothing like changing the middle of your face. I should have bought the Groucho Marx glasses with the nose attached and, done it closed to Halloween so I could go about my day without looking like the bride of Frankenstein.

Omg you look so young. I bet when it all settles down you will have a beautiful result. Try not to focus on daily changes. It is very hard to get used to dramatic changes especially when they are in the middle of your face. But in your case it is a beautiful change. Try to be patient, I know it is hard.

You look great for 2 weeks post op! I understand it feels weird when there is a change in the middle of your face but I am sure you will love it when it heals. Everything looks good to me so far and you will have a beautiful end result.

Sorry. I thought this was 2 weeks post op but it was actually the day after. You look great!

Wow, if you have had other work done you would have known that this picture shows magnificent healing. Healing, however, depends on how well you take care of yourself.

I was the most swollen this day. I wish my lips would stay as plump and deflate the rest of me. Oh boy the nose... It's quite frightening to look in the mirror and not recognize yourself. Every morning I would take a deep breath before I looked in the mirror. I kept thinking everytime I looked in the mirror that I would look different, but it does take time. this is the time to be hedonistic and watch all your guilty pleasure tv shows and movies. I discovered that vegetables were impossible to eat unless I basically ate baby food so I rediscovered french fries - now I can't stop. It's a lot easier to drink you vegetables, but it can get messy - wear a bib.
Did you have the lip lift yet or are you scheduled?
