Had lip reduction surgery. Goal was to just reduce the sides as they hung a bit too much. Currently feeling like after 10 weeks that they are maybe now worse as they are uneven and look very oddly like fake lips when I smile. It looks like one side was corrected but the other side looks the same and not there is an odd dent on the left middle side. I'm not sure if they're still swollen and I'm being impatient or not... we'll see..

If I love them when they heel, I'll post his name. If I don't, I probably won't. I'm kinda old skool. "If I don't have anything nice to say, I say nothing". I know it doesn't help. But once I love it, if it's this one or a revision, I'll definitely share that. Hope that helps.

I love how they look! I am going for my second reduction in 2 days. Because my upperlip is still too full and your actually look very balanced in comparison to your other lips.

*yours look very balanced I meant. I would also wait like 5 months so you see the true result. How long did you have to recover?

Doctors are NOT telling truth. Lip reduction surgery is not a good procedure. It will NOT give better shape itself. I had it. Naturally there is NO beautiful smile. Problems after cleaning teeth, they stick together...it looks ugly. I can not eat or drink...food falls of and water leaks of my moth at the edges. People that have this type of surgery...will have problems for the rest of their life. I am writing from my experience. I am regretting for believing that plastic surgeon and making such stupid decision.

omg, I'm so sorry to hear this. I don't have these issues and was thinking of going to reduce a bit more. Thanks you for sharing your story. I hope this can be fixed for you.

Can confirm. Mine stick, they look so unnatural:( i got my lip reduction because my lips were huge but also chapped 24/7. Stupid me thought it was because they were big and so didnt the doctor. Of course hed agree tho right? All he sees is money signs. I was 18 when i did, i am 21 now. If only i had the mindset i have now then i would never got the surgery. Id honestly pay anything to fix it:(

Unfortunately , there is NO way to fix it. . . I went further, paid for natural fat transfer to make them look better. And there is another problem: I always feel there is something inside, Fat hardens and that is very uncomfortable. For those people it just money. They do not care about people.

I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you. I went to Dr. Gallerani in Miami and he did a great job on my lips. I had not only an uneven upper lip, but silicone and scar tissue growing above my lip. I also don’t have any problems with anything. He is the best!

Omg I know the feeling I had perfect lips which I loved the volume and size of my lips. I wake up sad everyday a doctor would take my money and mess up my face. I got hit in my lip and I was asymmetrical at the top lip. So I Wanted to fix a little piece at the top but unfortunately it went bad . The doctor should have just been honest with me and told me no if I fix it my lips are going to be to small I always look mad now I look terrible in the face now. My lips are always hurting it's been 10 months and I hate everyday of my new lips I'm so sad about it and I don't want lip fillers I loved myself before and thought I was just fixing my smile not knowing my lips changed my whole face . Doctors are very money hungry not all but the doctor I went to was very money hungry I can't believe he took my money and messed up my face I always think about my lips it's so sad . Life has its way of throwing you in a loop if you let it . Dr Zoran Potparic was the doctor who took my money and messed up my face run from him I wish he give me my money back

I know how you feel I'm facing the same thing about my lips also. I wish it was a magic wand to give up our lips back . But honestly I know how you feel but you bottom lip look ok to me I'll have to see you in person so I know how you feel.

Hey guys,
They are much better now. They just needed to stop swelling. Took about a year, but now I'm happy even when I smile. I still wish they were a bit smaller, but I'm going to leave them alone now as each surgery comes with risk and this result I can live with.

Thanks so much for sharing! I don't think that in person I would ever notice an unevenness at all. You have really pretty lips. That said, I hope you're able to get them just how you want them. Let us know what your doctor says!
I hope they even out, too. Would love updates! :)
