2 week Post Op. Lips still look/feel lumpy and uneven.

I've made a lot of a bad decisions in my life, but letting Dr. Shemirani go near me with a needle is gonna have to be the winner.
I got to the office right on time for my appointment and was told there would be a short wait because he's running late. All right. That's fine. They gave me a bottle of reverse osmosis water which I thought that was really cool. So I waited about 15-20 minutes. No biggie
I go into the office and speak with Neda who put the numbing cream on & then I waited for a little bit.
I met the doctor briefly to discuss what I wanted and I told him that I wanted them to resemble the shape of the lips that I was born with and avoid looking fake
We chat for a little bit
He's soft spoken and kind. Cool.
Then he asks me what I'm doing for my skincare in reference to the acne that I have. I told him that I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and polycystic ovarian syndrome & that I just started getting hormonal treatment. I told him that it's much, much better than it was (it really is). He said well I care about more than just your lips. Nice pitch, I guess? If I wanted to add "acne treatment" to my consultation form then I could have easily done that
Anyways, he brings the needle out and at first it didn't hurt and then all of a sudden it hurt; like, quite a bit. Maybe he noticed how hard I was squeezing the medicine ball because he asked if it hurt. I mumbled "uh huh" without moving my lips. He kept going and it didn't hurt as bad then he injected my lower lip and it hurt pretty damn bad and I could feel the filler go UNDERNEATH MY LIPS. Like really close to my teeth, wtf. There wasn't filler on the other side like that?? He asked if it hurt and I said "uh huh" again so he said "sorry, I'll slow down".
WHAT???? I know he was running late but that's no excuse to rush the procedure. So then he goes to inject the center of my upper lip.
Once he's finished, he shows me the mirror and says do you like it?
I honestly can't even remember what I said back. I was so focused on how f*cked up my once beautiful smile had become. Granted, it looked much worse at the time because of the swelling that I was experiencing. I just stared in the mirror for a little bit, thanked everyone there, paid & then went to my car to cry
Currently, I'd have to say the worst part is the fact that there's filler on the right side of my bottom lip, or I should say, under my lip, that shouldn't be there. It makes my lips look very lopsided when I smile and you can clearly see the bump when I smile. It looks as if I've been in a fight. The second worst part is how disproportionate my upper lip looks to my bottom lip. It's way too large in comparison and gives me that oh soooooo sought after duck lip shape. I always get compliments on my smile. At work id usually get a compliment about once a night on it. Know how many I've gotten this week? Zero. Just a comment from my parents asking if I've been in a fight. Awesome.
Pros:
Nice location
When he found out that I was looking for lingerie shops nearby he wrote down a list of places for me to go check out, which would have been nice had I not looked like a monster
Soft spoken
Kind
The receptionists are wonderful
There was a lady in the lobby who got a surgery done for her puffy lower eyelids. She showed me her before pictures. Aside from some bruising (she was 3 weeks post op), she looked great. So I guess as long as you're going to him for that then you're safe, unless he feels rushed. Then you're f*cked.
So maybe he's actually really skilled and just rushed my procedure. Maybe he just didn't listen when I said that I wanted them to resemble my natural lips. Either way, you couldn't pay me to let him go near me with a needle again
Maybe he'll see this review and think twice before rushing a procedure and/or maybe another young girl will see this and consider going to another doctor for lip injections. I certainly am.
Final pro? This sh*t isn't permanent
Pro/con: he gave me a free sample for a product to help with my acne. I didn't ask for help with my skin but I guess the thought was sweet.
Cons:
I look like [RS bleep] and my self esteem has plummeted
I can still feel the filler in the lower portion of my mouth and I can feel it way above where it should be in my upper lip. It's not in my lip or where the filler should be and it makes my smile look very strange. Extremely depressing. I made significantly less money this weekend. Even more depressing.
I sent them a message freaking out the day of the procedure and they never replied. Why didn't I call? Because I was so paranoid that I would move the filler into an even more f*cked up position that I didn't talk or smile for 3 days. Not that I wanted to talk to anyone or felt like smiling. I really just wanted to cry.
My once youthful experience now appears to be 5 years older and like I'm trying to look younger (I'm 21)
Reminds me of Lindsay lohan. Maybe this is her lip doctor.
Maybe not actually because I'd have to say that my lips look worse than that. The lower lip is way too big and the center of it is lopsided as well but thankfully (?????) it's not as noticeable as the lower lip
I took a 5 weekdays off of work (I'm an exotic dancer so I could have made at least $1000, saved $1100 for this waste of a trip, and not had to cancel my date this weekend because I look deformed) and spent $1100 on travel expenses and the procedure itself.
I now have to work AS AN EXOTIC DANCER where it's my job to look good, with f*cking duck lips. Sorry for cursing so much but I'm very upset about this
My dad noticed
HE NEVER NOTICES ANYTHING
like I could shave my head and he'd be like, hmm you look different
He's like, "did you get into a fight at the club? You have a fat lip"
Side note: I avoided alcohol and used arnica as he said. I didn't talk, use straws or kiss (as if anyone would want to kiss these monstrosity of lips) and I drank protein drinks for 3 days after in hopes that the filler would settle and look how I wanted it to.
Don't go to this doctor for lip injections. I'm going to another doctor in January to see if they can fix my smile :( in the meantime, I'm just going to avoid friends and family as much as possible which will be difficult considering Christmas and the New Years is fast approaching. Lucky me.

The doctor contacted me today to ask how things were going (which is actually really cool) and I told him about my nightmare about how people were asking if I've been in a fight. He had me send pictures and said that its all due to swelling. This IS my first lip injection ever so my body could just be freaking out. Nonetheless, I'm still very worried as its extremely lopsided and feels very lumpy. I'll update a week from now when it's supposedly going to be as it will be once it's done. Overall, I'm still unhappy with the result but I'm trying to stay positive.

So Dr Nima had his assistant call me and said he would stay late tonight to accommodate me to help with the swelling and unevenness. Not exactly sure what he was planning on doing. I'm speculating he was gonna massage it or add more filler? I thought the fact that they've contacted me after I expressed dissatisfaction was really cool but there's nothing I can do because I'm 700 miles away and I have work. I'm still not happy with the results but I'm 6 days post op and trying to be hopeful. Has anybody else gotten lip injections and looked uneven/fake looking for a week and then came out looking awesome? Maybe I have worse swelling because I have an autoimmune disease (hashimotos)? I dunno.... :(
