My upper lip now protrudes from my face the same distance as the end of my nose from a profile position. Surgery and fat grafting was done on 2/10/2014. I am thinking that by now, 20 days later, that I have no more hope for it to be surgical swelling and this is going to remain this way permanently. Do you have any words of encouragement for me at this point. I also had cheeks grafted and the fold from the end of the nose to the corner of the mouth at the same time.
