I had both upper and lower lip implant 8 yrs ago .. unfortunately my top implant shifted over time to my right side due to the left pocket closing and corner was exposed inside my mouth ( i contribute the issue talking to much and chewing to early on) this go around not talking/ staying on pouch baby food for 3 weeks to ensure pocket anchors down my upper lip implant .. I did have him switch my implant to a large implant vs the original medium one I had from my first surgery .. I also bought the full recovery support kit to prep my body beforehand and afterwards .. had pain the day of surgery took meds and just throbbing today .. i will get threads to finish off my lips once healed up in 4 weeks

Dr Butler did an awesome job fixing my upper lip .. he removed the medium implant .. recreated the left pocket and inserted the large implant in place .. this time I did in his office vs the hospital .. had 1/2 of a happy pill-lorazepam /1/2 pill oxycodone 325mcg/1 promethxine 25mg.. I do get anxiety about procedures but I also don’t like scripts so I took bare minimum and it worked for me vs the full amount indicated on my scripts .. the promethazine only one I felt comfortable taking recommended dosage ( prevent throwing up / nausea) .. the recovery kit I started 2 weeks out really works great and continues to give the body what it needs during the healing process .. I always buy it before any surgical procedure and have great results .. I’m on baby food for the nect 3-4 weeks to ensure minimal movement of my lip and use a squirt bottle for water to squirt in my mouth .. I don’t work so I’m just relaxing at home but anxious to get in the gym hopefully next week w light working out
