Happy with face! Don't know how to change it up at the top from "not sure"

Dr took out lower implant. Looks fine with just the upper. Not sure I would use implants next time I try to make fuller lips. Don't want the fillers available at the moment. Maybe if I tried again it would be with fat grafting to the lips. Just scared of lumpy bumpy look. Totally happy with eyes and mostly happy with nose. I have thick skin on my nose so it's not the Dr's fault he can't reduce the tip shape more. The profile is perfect since he took the bump off.

Lower lip problems
I think looking back I got an infection in my lower lip pretty early on. I just didn't know what to expect or what it SHOULD feel like. My lower lip was very tight and uncomfortable. I kept thinking this would go away. Well by July it was definitely not normal and was very full and uncomfortable and feeling tingly and it finally got a bump that I knew was infection. The Dr was out of town then I was out of town so when I finally got to be seen he lanced it and drained the puss out and started me on antibiotics. I had it lanced and drained again a week later still on antibiotics. I go in to see him tomorrow. I believe we will have to remove the lower implant and let it heal and start over. The upper lip has been fine and has no signs of infection it is around the lower only. I'll let you know what happens after tomorrow.

Took out lower implant, only thing is over night as it is healing it gets tight and when you smile and stretch it out in the mornings it hurts some. I hope my lip doesn't get smaller and tighter from scar tissue inside. If I decide to put it in again it will be at least 6 months to let it heal first.

It is doing great. Still stretches when I smile as it is still healing inside I'm sure. But no signs of infection Really can't tell the difference in pictures and in person most haven't noticed any difference. No comments like your lip is smaller or flatter. In before and after pics the lips don't really look different in my opinion. Maybe not worth even doing.

they were 4mm in top and bottom. Took bottom one out. Top still doing fine. It was mostly my top lip that was so thin. Still thin but implant is a more 3D look. It stands out a little more in person. Doesn't really make it fuller looking so much I don't think.

Wouldn't save collage here but would save as my profile pic. On my phone so that may have something to do with it have no idea how good the quality is but maybe a better idea of before and after. Still can't fully smile and triangle of numbness I still have dark circles under eyes that make me look tired. But even if you can't tell in pictures my nose is smaller and I have eyelid showing and lips a little fuller.
