I had a lip lift two days ago, and I realize its much too early to see what the final results will look like, but I'd like to know if its normal for my nostrils to look wider and flared and as if they've been pulled down somewhat. There doesn't seem to be a whole of of swelling or bruising on my lip, but I'm hoping that there is and I'm just not seeing it. Is it normal to have pig nose immediately after lip lift? and can i expect that this will go away. Thanks!
