(There is a link on this page)<P><B>Q.</b> How much did it cost?<BR><B>A.</b> The current fee is about $1150.00. General Anesthesia in a hospital runs about $300 more. However, the local was just fine.<P><B>.</b>Q. Did it leave a scar?<BR> <B>A.</b> Yes, hairline scar at (or slightly above) lipline.<P><B>Q.</b>Did it hurt and how bad was the swelling?<BR><B>A.</b> After the lidocaine wore off, it hurt a little bit. Easily remedied with a Darvacet. There were tiny black stiches at the lipline for three days and heavy swelling for about the same time. Total swelling was gone in about a week.<P><B>Q.</b> Why didn't you get the bullhorn (under the nose) incision?<BR><B>A.</b> My personal opinion is that it is not a good procedure for someone like myself who has ALWAYS had very thin lips. I think my procedure gave my doctor more control over how much lip area he gave me, although unlike the bullhorn it left a small scar. However, I don't think I would have been happy with the results of a bullhorn.<P><B>Q.</b> Who's a good candidate for this procedure?<BR><b>A.</b> My doctor says light skinned individuals who do not scar easily.<P><B>Q.</b> Can I get the bottom lip done?<BR><b>A.</b> I don't think that they do that. Bottom lips are usually fuller than top lips and fillers and implants will work for a bottom lip when they won't work for the top lip.<P><b>Q.</b> Does it leave your lip flat?<BR><B>A.</b> Yes, and no. It may appear flatter, but that's because there's more lip area without additional protrusion. My doctor recommends softform implant after total healing - hey maybe that's why the liplift is so inexpensive!<P><b>Q.</b> Where can I find out more information regarding this procedure?<BR><b>A.</b> I couldn't find any. That's why I put this site together.<P></font> <font size=4> <P> <!--EndFreetext--> <p> </body> </html>
