Fat Transfer to Lips and Nasolabial Folds Around Mouth

Discouraged
Graphic SoftApril 5, 2017
There are several lumps or bubbles around my mouth causing it to be asymmetrical and heavy. The lumps or bubbles feel squishy. One is right under my right nostril. I also have a few areas where there are harder masses, two of which are under my lower lips on either side. The other hard masses run along the nasolabial fold on the left. This is all very uncomfortable at 2 weeks 3 days. I have bigger things to worry about than my face, so I am not obsessing over it, but I am not happy at this point.

Worried.

I have read countless times that asymmetry and swelling is normal in the first few weeks, but now I am getting worried. All I can do is wait and hope I don't run into anyone I know for a while. There is heaviness and swelling in my right philtrum and upper lip, and heaviness and swelling in my smile line on the left side. My smile looks too wide and asymmetrical. Plus, my jowls are swollen. I don't like this at 10 days post op!

I had my upper lip done about 15 yrs ago - it took about a month, I think, for the swelling to settle. You are still early. Thanks for sharing your experience as I would like to do more in the future.

Thanks for the comment, Amy! I do welcome reassurances. I went out in public for the first time today, and I still felt like it was really obvious I'd had something 'done'. How is your upper lip after 15 years?

My upper lip is still great. If I gain much weight, my lip gets a little bigger - but never looks bad. The reason I was unhappy with the upper lip is that the bottom of it - the part that makes contact with the lower lip - had a weird 'm' shape with a bit of hang-down in the center. The fat evened it out and I no longer see that old shape. I'm 58 so could now probably use a lip lift. :) But my biggest problme now is turkey neck and terribly saggy face. So will get a lower FL.

Thank you for sharing. Please keep us updated. I would like to see how much fat will remain since these two areas fat seems to disappear quickly. Xxxxx
