Title: Lip lift
Post by: Ellement_of_Freedom on December 29, 2016, 08:43:04 PM
So, the title says it all!

Who has had one, and from which surgeon?

I'm interested to know what the scarring is like and if you're happy with the result.

I had a lip lift from Meltzer at the turn of the century.  I talked him into a more conservative lift than he recommended, which I now regret.  I think when it's done right it can be a great boon. 

The scar itself isn't noticeable, following the contour of my lower nose.  It kind of looks like a row of deep pores, actually.

Many FFS surgeons have websites with pictures of their patients. Often this is combined with a rhinoplasty.

If there was one procedure I would like performed is a lip lift. Mostly because it would improve my smile.

I had an endonasal lip lift yesterday.

Very happy with the results, even after one day. Surgeon used transparent sutures, so it's barely visible. Have a tiny line next to each nostril. The incision under my nostrils are hidden inside my nose. The sutures are extremely small. He spent about 45 minutes on the sutures alone.

If you want minimal scarring, check out "endonasal lip lift" it's relatively new, and quickly becoming the next best thing.
