Dermal Fat Grafting to the Lips

Don’t waste your money with Permalip (No different from your regular lips). Don’t waste your money with fat injections (They don’t last). Dermal graft is the way to go! It’s permanent.....Surgery went well. I’m in love with my results so far. Top and bottom lip done. It’s going on 4 weeks now...Recovery was BRUTAL. Extremely painful! The stitches were the most annoying. Ok, so let me give you a run down. I drove myself to Miami. I live 3.5 hours away. Stayed in a room the night before. Took an Uber to and from my procedure. Surgery was done with local anesthesia. The first night wasn’t bad at all. I was still numb from the meds. But the next morning was HELL. Intense swelling and pain. From my jaws on down were swollen. It was extremely hard to eat and drink. Expect to lose a pound or two.The bruising started around day 3 or 4. I started experiencing some drainage around day 6. The first two weeks were the worst. I removed the stitches myself during week 3. I don’t recommend you removing them yourself. I only felt comfortable removing them because I’m a nurse and have removed them before. I wouldn’t want you to risk damaging your lips. The sutures are small and it would be easy to accidentally cut your lip. (That’s how tight they were) By the way, with dermal grafting to the lips, he removes a layer of fat from your pubis area and places them in your lips. (Nothing like fat injections, don’t get the two confused) I removed the sutures from my pubis as well. I am satisfied with my lips. Loving the plumpness! The rim of my lips are still a little numb. Not really painful but still a little tender. I can eat now so I’m happy about that! I plan to post more updated pics in a month or two to keep you updated.
