lip curl/mouth corner surgery

60 0 18905 After 60 days So this update is nearly two months after the stitches have been out/healing my lips without them! Just some advice for everyone, don’t be too discouraged about how it looks at first. I did have what appeared to be hypertrophic (raised) scarring on the bottom corners of my lips.

It did scare me at first, especially with how red/brownish they appeared. Thankfully they’ve faded and shrunk a lot, but I definitely can’t go without makeup otherwise they’re still kind of noticeable. The consultant at Hyundai I kept in contact with let me know that it should fade over time, but it does take months depending on your skin.

I’m a pretty slow healer so I guess it’s not a surprise I’m still dealing with scar discoloration and etc. after the surgery. I would just advise y’all to not expose your lips to sunlight otherwise you’ll deal with discoloration like me.

Also the skin/muscle tissue that was performed on still feels a little hard if I press on it because of the scars healing. It takes around a full year for the scar maturation process to complete. Good thing though is that swelling is all gone!

Here’s some pictures of my lips now with makeup! After 7 days An update with healing: lips definitely looks scary these past few days because of the swelling but I think I can tell it’ll turn out really nice because I can see Dr. Hong’s stitching is really good.

He’s the best surgeon I’ve been to yet for stitching I think. I’ll post a picture for y’all to see!
