I wanted bigger lips for the longest time. I was too chicken to get fillers knowing that I would continuously go through the pain every cpl months. I decided on the implant instead. I am still waiting for the end results, i am 6 days post op as of today , swelling if starting to go down but I feel like they are very uneven now & are still very stiff. I can barely eat or drink anything without making a mess.

Still stiff, still unevenly swollen but I did see the doctor today. She reassured me the swelling will go down & everything is healing great. I wish I could see them without the swelling but I have confidence in her work! I don't know how to add more pics to my original photos but this was a before of me smiling. I will be posting more once my lips start to look different from the previous ones I've posted. I was a little depressed thinking this was it & I made the worst mistake but after seeing the Dr today I am much better. (=

11 days later - is there anything I can do to make them softer??

Swelling has gone way down, I am hoping I still have a ways to go b.c I can still see some uneven-ness (if thats even a word lol) Its getting easier to eat & drink now. However I am still really stiff. I am supposed to go see someone in a little over a week & am terrified of kissing him. I didnt tell him I got implants but Im sure hes gunna notice because they are so hard )=

Are you taking bromelain for swelling? I had Lipo and my thigh is super hard- and it's from swelling. Maybe drink piñaapple juice too? Or eat pineapple Popsicles?

Yes. It's just pineapple enzymes. I've been taking it for two months. I haven't heard anything negative about taking it, but if you do please let is know.

Thanks for the info. I am gunna start back on it & see if that helps with the stiffness (= I will keep you posted if I hear different

Sounds good- and the stiffness and firmness might be from swelling. I know it is in my case. Hope you heal fast!

Thanks so much for sharing your story so far and photos. You are still early days and I bet still pretty swollen. Do you have a photo of yourself smiling "before"?
That would be fantastic!
