hey all, i just had a lip lift done at retmus and there seems to be quite a lot of interest in this clinic so i'll be writing my review here! i've been wanting to do a lip lift for quite some time, especially after i had my rhinoplasty done and my philthrum started looking a little longer than i'd wanted.
i've been eyeing retmus clinic because they seem to be highly specialised in doing lip lifts and alarplasty/rhinoplasty together to prevent nasal spread, a common side effect that was reported after a lip lift. this was perfect for me because i also had a terrible alarplasty done in singapore and needed a revision to remove the alarplasty scars.
so i booked my consultation and hired an english translator (the clinic told me to hire one). the consultation with the doctor was pretty straightforward and he told me that i needed a 4mm lip lift with an alar lift and alar rim grafts to reshape my nostrils. he also said that he could only partially remove the scar on my nostrils (the ones below the alar), though i was happy enough to hear that it could be improved considering that no other korean doctor seems to want to touch it.
i had my surgery done 2 days later under sleeping anaesthesia and i didn't really feel much pain except for tightness around the upper lip and nostrils. as for my recovery, it was quite an easy surgery and i really appreciated that the clinic was really helpful and responsive in answering any of my questions.
i am about 2 weeks post-op now and these are my results. the area's still quite swollen, but i'm really happy with how it turned out so far, especially with the improvement to my alarplasty scar.
i'll update you guys again as the swelling goes down!
