How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I used an iphone 7 to take these photos to try to get a realistic look at the scars. No makeup

This really is the final result of my lip lift. There is a very light scar. Not very noticeable. I think the scar widened a tiny bit recently. Glad I did the corner lip lift as well, although wish I did it at the same time at LL so I didn't have two recoveries. I am very happy I did this procedure but feel I would look better with an even shorter distance. My current 16mm upper lip distance -- though a huge improvement to what I had before -- is still longer than ideal.
Almost a Year Post Op
It's been almost a year post surgery. My scar is now undetectable, unless I pull down my upper lip. Then, the slight white scar under my nostrils becomes visible. Given that I never do that in my day to day life, I can basically say I have no scar. However, to get to this point, I spent a few thousand dollars by going to a fancy dermatologist here in DC ( 4 times) and used several types of lasers as well as microneedling to tackle redness, the raised areas and texture.
Overall, between the upper lip lift and the corner lip lift, my appearance has improved, although the difference is subtle. Frankly, at 16mm, my upper lip is still too long and I've decided I need to do this procedure one more time to get the optimal result. But I know now that for me, the healing really does take almost a full year. When I do this procedure again, I will post about it again. I will post photos of my lips again exactly at the one year mark. (And will do so with a Laika camera.)
