First, i always had feelings about my upper lip. Mostly negative. I took shape of my lips from my father and it was thin and not so attractive.
I used to make fillers, but every 6 months you have to make more. And it's not decrease distance but just make lips bigger. This part i did'nt like at all.

First day after procedure

aeriane
I was coming back from Washington by bus to NY. That's why i was afraid to take alot of painkillers. After 2 hours after procedure i start to feel burning in that area and pain. But honestly not as much as i was expecting.
About the whole process: it took literraly 40 min. Before the procedure i have read SoSoSo many reviews so i knew exactly what to expect. So what is definitly essential during process is music. LOUD!) Because you do not want to hear what is going on with your own skin.
Anesthesia was strong and i didnot feel any discomfort. The only one was when needle with anesthesie went to my mouth.
The next morning swallowing was the maximum. And i was so afraid that start eventually drink steroids to make it less. And it worked perfectly. So in the end of the day it was much less.
I will keep update and publish photos every day.

If you need to go back to Washington, there is a van service that might be more comfortable. Just by looking at the shape of your lips now, I can just tell you are going to look wonderful. Did he go stitch up the sides of your nostrills?

Thank you, i really hope everything will be wonderful!
About nostrils- no, i don't think he went on the sides. At least we were discussing that he never does that.
I watched your photos. I really love the result!!!
Now all i need is a little time)
Can't wait to see the final results

If he didn't go up the sides of your nose, then wow. I can tell, that you are going to be very happy with the results. Your lips are shaped so well, a full bottom and a nice shape cupid's bow. I'm envious ... I'm looking forward to seeing your progression.

What was the distance of your upper lip before the surgery?
How many MM did he remove?
December 26, 2015
as i member right he decided to go conservative and remove 6mm

Do you remember what your original distance was? You can send email or call his office to find out. There should be a record. (If you care to know that info and care to share it.)
