I had silicone removal lip reduction 4 weeks ago and my lips are still numb and tingling. I have small bumps where the stitches were, they never dissolved and I had to trim them. Now when I smile or even worse when I laugh, my lips look tight and very unnatural.

I know I need to be patient but I am wondering if something can be done after I have healed to fix the way my lips look.
