i am thrilled with my results. will be 41 in a couple months ;) wish i did it sooner!
it took quite awhile for ALL of the swelling to dissipate. i would say it continued to go down for almost a year. so those of you who are a few months into your healing process....BE PATIENT and just know that it will continue to improve for quite some time.
i am STILL getting used to looking at myself in the mirror. i guess when you live with the same face for 39 years....it's bound to trip you out for awhile when you change things up. very happy with what i see now!

Looks great! Seriously, looking 10 years younger. Amazing!

You look great, really. Your pics helped me to make the decision for a chin implant and a lips, and now I have an appointment with a facial plastic surgeon for my week chin and sub mental fat. Best wishes, swantje

You look great! I am considering having surgery with this doctor. I will be traveling from the east coast. Were you completely comfortable during your consultation? I know that he has alot of experience. Was his age ever a factor for you?

Do you have any photos showing a front view before and after? I'm worried about my face looking longer. Your features are very similar to mine and your results look great!

thought it would be helpful to post a pic at 4 months. i notice a lot of people don't post after a few months even though the healing time is estimated at 6-12 months for the procedures i had done. anyways, the swelling has settled even more since my last post.
a few people asked me about my appearance at Thanksgiving dinner and i was happy i could use my lip as an excuse for looking different...an unexpected benefit of having my lip injected. lol... anyways, this pic is from a couple weeks ago...Nov 23rd to be exact ;)

You look awesome! I've actually been considering getting my lip injected. I really feel like making my chin slightly bigger made my bottom lip look smaller! Lol
December 8, 2014
the chin totally effects your lips. lol. i'm already thinking about getting a little more injected...including my bottom lip.
December 9, 2014
I feel the same way about my lips. They were small to begin with but seem even smaller now with the new chin. But I do not want to pick myself apart, I have found myself focusing on other areas now that never bother me before when I had much bigger things to focus on, neck, jowls ect.
December 9, 2014
ah yes....it's a slippery slope! def important to keep yourself in check. i have been noticing other little things i'd like to change as well. it's a domino effect, but i think i'll stop at the lips for now. lol
December 9, 2014
Ugh it's so true! Now I understand how some people get carried away with plastic surgery :-/
December 17, 2014
Your results are fantastic! I'm scheduled for the same procedure in 3 weeks. I'm nervous! But thanks so much for your entries. I am feeling more and more confident in my decision.
January 21, 2015
Thank you so much for your posts! I have read and reread them over and over. I am having the same procedure done a week from tomorrow and am starting to get nervous. I booked the procedure back in November and wouldn't you know it... I was asked to be the maid of honor in a wedding which will be 6 weeks post op for me. Hope I am healed up in time or I'll have some explaining to do! =0

oh hi cekkart! i am SO so pleased with my results. i will be 6 month post the day after tomorrow. i was still pretty swollen at 6 weeks (compared to my final results) but no one ever said anything to me about it. and i didn't notice any funny looks. def do a low sodium diet and stay away from alcohol and drink a ton of water leading up to the wedding. i noticed a huge improvement in my swelling when i followed these 'rules' :D
January 21, 2015
Thanks for the advice! Some "rules" really aren't meant to be broken, I guess. Lol. Even though as a mom of 4, it will be hard to avoid a glass of wine once in a while. But I'll survive with the end result in mind. =) Your results are amazing and I hope I am in love with mine.
January 21, 2015
haha! i would just avoid the wine a week leading up to the wedding. no need to deprive yourself!! i didn't really follow any of these rules BTW ;)
January 21, 2015
oh and i forgot to mention sleeping upright a couple of days before too. all the little tweaks will add up to keep the swelling down. just know that you will continue to see improvement for at least 6 months. it's pretty exciting! please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. i had my recovery all while cosleeping and nursing a 14 month old all night...and chasing her around all day. i def needed help for the first week or so, but after that it was totally manageable.
