It was the best decision of my life. I got the permalip 5mm implant top and bottom. Dr. Jessica Kulak is so nice and so amazing. The healing process was hard and it really hurt. But there was 0 pain during surgery! Results look amazing. The healing process took about a week to fully heal. The swelling went down within the week.

How many days until it started to go down? I had surgery yesterday and the swelling is so bad today.

It is really bad the first day. Probably I would say the first 3 days. It's pretty noticable. Everyone kept looking at me like "what happened to your lips?". The swelling goes down a little each day and by a week you look almost normal

Thank you so much! I had one more question, did you experience any numbness on your lips? Mine are going numb now on the 2nd day and I am literally freaking tf out. I called my dr and they said it was normal but I'm just scared. I hope I didn't damage any nerves.

No it's fine. Mine did the same thing. It's a weird sensation. Like the lips aren't really yours yet. I think because when the skin stretches so much you kinda loose feeling. You didn't damage your nerves. My sensations haven't completely come back 100% yet. Every day you'll feel more and more and soon you will have all feeling back. Ice helped me because the one thing I could always feel was the cold!

Yea it was the worst pain. I had Valium and Vicodin and they didn't do anything for me. I took Advil PM and that actually helped the best and helped me sleep.

Did you lose any movement in your lips? I've had mine for 10 days now and I still can't move my lips the way I used to like when I put on lip stick I can't move them together. I'm thinking about getting my implants out I think the 5 was too big for my mouth, my husband can feel them too when we kiss :(

I had trouble for awhile. I couldn't kiss my boyfriend for probably about 2 weeks. It was still very sore and tender. try stretching your mouth out. Like in the car when I was driving I would recite the alphabet and really pronounciate and over exaggerate the letters to stretch my mouth out in all directions. It helped get things back to normal sooner. Currently I'm now 6 weeks post op and I fell 100% normal with my lips now
