I am getting a Lift lift next month at least that is the plan. I have qoutes from Dr. Z, Dr S and Dr. Metzer. I have one major issue, since I work in drab and am not out how do you explain the stitches for 7 days and then the slowly fading scar for months after?
I was thinking:
A. I fell while biking
B. Got in a knife fight
C. Cut myself real bad shaving
D. _______________
I also tried wearing a bandaid under my nose this evening to see what that would look like. I tried triming the bandaid to make it look smaller but all versions looked pretty silly.
For those of you that have had a lip lift I am sure most of you did it in conjunction with major FFS and were out of pocket for weeks. But in my case I am just doing this one procedure - its a 40 minute in office IV sedate local anastesia procedure. I plan to fly in and fly out the same day.
So please help I need some why to hid this thing at the office or at least a good excuse for the stitches under my nose.
Thanks !!
I'm fresh out of useful advice, but how about we make D = Groucho Marx glasses? <running away>
Kia Ora,
Lip Lift - How do you 'explain' the stitches and scar?
With great difficulty, unless that is, you're a ventriloquist ;) But on a more serious note, I think the "had a cyst removed" would be the way to go...
Metta Zenda :)
Better think about how you'll explain a swollen upperlip, a swollen nosetip and restricted lip/mouth movement while speaking, smiling etc.....
I dropped drab in the 90s, however I had a lip lift and alarplasty two months ago during the xmas break. After two weeks I used camouflage makeup. The scar is below the nose and is not highly visible. No one is the wiser.
Forgot to say, I had tape covering the stitches for a week. But I had an allergic reaction to the tape which took a week for my lip to recover after the stitches were out. Stitches neatly placed under the nose is usually only one thing. Can't you take a week out until the stitches are removed?
One thing you don't do is explain the scar, because with a little bit of camouflage makeup blended over it, nobody will see it.
