Scarless Lip Lift- Retmus Clinic
I had my lip lift done at Retmus Clinic on April 24, 2026, and my overall experience was extremely positive.
My consultation took place the day before on April 23rd. It was lengthy but thoroughly worthwhile — covering a full explanation of the surgery, labs, a CT scan, and a one-on-one meeting with Dr. Chung. An English interpreter was available from beginning to end, and Dr. Chung himself speaks English, which was a wonderful added comfort when discussing something as personal as facial surgery.
On surgery day, there was some waiting due to the first surgery running longer than expected. My suggestion: don't make any plans that day and go in with a flexible mindset. Once it was my turn, everything went smoothly and without complications. I felt well enough to walk back to my nearby hotel — about 10 minutes — though I'd stress that this is very individual and depends entirely on how you feel.
Post-operative care was attentive and thorough. Dr. Chung reviewed his work four days after surgery and administered a steroid IV injection to support healing. On day six, my stitches were removed ahead of a national holiday the following day — the team planned around it perfectly. All pre- and post-care instructions were clearly explained, and I'd always encourage patients to repeat questions and ask for clarity on medications or the procedure if anything is unclear.
Even two weeks out from surgery, you genuinely cannot tell I had anything done. Now I truly understand why they call it the scarless lip lift.
I wholeheartedly recommend Retmus Clinic and Dr. Chung to anyone considering this procedure. Thank you to Dr. Chung and his entire staff for such an amazing experience — from consultation to final follow-up, I felt informed, cared for, and in the best hands.
