Bullhorn lip lift, did the doctor remove too much skin in the middle? How much more can I expect my lip to drop? (Photos)

Asked By:Sol32476

I am currently 15 days post op, I feel like most of the swelling is gone and I’m starting to get worried. I can’t pronounce words or eat properly. I look like I have cleft palate. The center of the lip seems excessively raised. Will my philtrum lengthen some more? I know swelling lasts for up to 6 months etc... but how much/drastic difference is to be expected between now and 6 months ? I just want to be reassured if swelling is really a huge factor. Please see the before pic and lmk.
