It's really hard to decide if it was worth it.

I'm thinking having a lip lift instead would of been better. Just because I live so far from plastic surgeons. The more I think about it the less worth it it feels.

I'm happy with them. I still feel my top implant in my mustache area on my right side and it twitches from time to time. That's how I know I need the revision. I think a lip lift would be a good idea but I don't think I want to spend that much on my lips. I was considering my breasts but the breast implant illnesses have me a little freaked out. I mean I'm not sick from my lip implants so that must be a sign right?
I think I'm going to change my lip implant review to worth it now. They do they in place when correctly set so there isn't any reason to worry about them moving. I just need a revision.

I don't know what to do. Some people say fat transfer doesn't stay. So maybe I'll try for just a larger implants because I want them bigger and also I want the top one repositioned. Oh well I'll post some pictures

I personally think they look great! Very natural! I just got the 5mm today and have very small lips to begin with. I heard its easier to go up a size after you've had the 4mm

Really? Hmm. Well I still am so unsure what to do. It's so hard I feel like the lips are a difficult thing to get larger. At least permanently as large as I'd like. I hope I find an answer soon for myself.

It's tough becuase right now big lips are what's "in". Though the 5mm seems to make a dramatic difference in what I've seen. I've you really wanted to you could then add filler on top of that. It wouldn't be as cost effective, but at least you won't need as much.

I'll talk with the clinic. I do want bigger but I can't find too many new reviews with 5mm implants. But I think I'm leaning more than direction.

Well a certain percentage disappears that's why the dr adds more around 30% more so if 30% goes it won't affect it. Two plastic surgerons said I will stay how I look already. My lips stayed. I wanted them this size. It worked for me. I will take more pictures so you can see my results.

What did the ps recommend? Did he state if you went bigger your issues would resolve and fat looks nice but it doesn't seem to last in your lips

I haven't asked them yet. I should though. They said on the surgery day that I might change my mind later on and want bigger.

It's fine if you want bigger but you were having problems with the 4 mm so I guess I am asking if the ps thinks that will fix the problem by going to the larger implant or did I mis something and everything is good except you want bigger ?

Last time I talked to them they said use binder clips to get the implant to move but it didn't work

Have you done any research on a lip lift? I had a subnasal lip lift in which the incision is under the nose. It pulls up the middle part of your upper lip and changes the shape of your mouth, creating lips that I think look more like the shape of a baby's mouth. There are different types of lip lifts. There is another version in which the incision is around the lip line itself. Before surgery you would draw your lips the way you want them and that is what the surgeon goes by.

I think I would really like a lift but I haven't researched it much.
