Will my upper lip go down? Can fat be sucked back out if it doesn't? (photo)

April 19, 2017
Asked By:SydneyLoo in Albuquerque, NM

I had fat transferred to my lips about 50 hours ago, which is how long I was told it would take swelling to subside. I'm currently freaking out because I asked my surgeon to pump my lips but keep their shape and size natural and not fill them too much, but this seems really excessive. Please tell me my upper lip is still swollen and will go down...I had relatively thin lips before but I did not want giant lips either. Can the fat be sucked back out if my lips stay huge??
