Asked By:Jbettarel in Riverside, CA

I am 8 days post surgery, under my eyes are still quite puffy and every color of the rainbow, purple, red, yellow etc, my lips look like duck lips. I look in the mirror and still do not see me, I wanted to still look like me just not a tired me, I love my Doctor and I hopeful that this is still just part of the healing process- my lips and weird and my smile has changed..He knows I just wanted a real natural appearance.
