Lip Lift Revision and Fat Transfer to Lips and Nasolabial Folds

I had my lip lift revision and fat transfer to lips and nasolabial folds with Dr. Osuch in Poland because I was not satisfied with my previous procedures with another surgeon. I knew from realself that Dr. Osuch was very experienced with lip lifts. We had a consultation right before the surgery. He was warm and friendly and answered all my questions. If you get the chance, I recommend having a consultation a day or before especially if like me, you are going with general anesthesia. This is because you need to be fasting and have no caffeine the day of surgery. I had a massive headache as a result, and I found it hard to think clearly.
Regardless of my headache, The surgery went well. The operation took place at the clinic with a warm and kind anesthesiatist.
The fat was removed from my inner knees, which the doctor explained is the best place to harvest fat for the face due to its stability and small cell size. I believe this is true because with the previous fat transfer with another doctor, I ended up with fairly large globules from my belly.
The after care was fantastic. I spent the night at the clinic, and I was surprised to be sharing a room with the previous patient. But even though we didn't talk, I personally felt comforted by her presence. The nurses did not speak English, so we used our phones to translate. That proved humorous sometimes.
I was in pain after surgery and a bit worried about dehydration . But I had a saline bag attached and after a while was given as much water as I wanted. Pain meds were given, and I watched Netflix on my computer with my headphones. Come nightfall I slept sitting up. I had brought a soft neck brace, which really helped keep my head from flopping side to side. I recommend buying one of those for sleeping post op!
It is nearing 48 hours post op, and I still need Panadol. I am also on antibiotics as a precaution, as well as some calendula/arnica cream that Dr. Osuch prescribed. I have been icing the area often. There is a lot of swelling, but I am happy to see that it's all in the right places. For the first time in my life, I have a large upper lip! I am excited about that. I know that the swelling will go down quite a bit after 3, 5, and 10 days.
So far so good ????
I will have to add more photos in a little while.
