Lip Lift - Swelling After the Procedure or Too Much Skin Was Removed?
I had a bullhorn lip lift procedure almost 11 weeks ago. The upper lip is still too short for me to loosely close my mouth, its middle part is triangular in shape and pushed forward. I also have an impression that it pushes the base of my nose making it go forward (so the nostrils are more visible) - is it possible and normal? Can I suppose the procedure was not performed correctly or is it still swelling and I just have to wait (how long)?
