Wanting some fullness

Great experience with my dr, this is not my first procedure with him. Very realistic and honest. I’m only on the first night after the procedure but I definitely am expecting to enjoy my final results. I was told I probably wouldn’t need the pain pills (and I have a pretty good tolerance to pain). But I’ve been living by them religiously every 4 hours so far. My lips themselves don’t hurt it’s my teeth and jaw but I have this when I get numbed at my dentist office for dental procedures so I’m assuming it’s a personal circumstance.

It’s been two days since my initial post. As you can see in pictures the swelling went up a bit but the shape of the lips looks great! No bruising so far. Just on day 2post op I ran into a horrible migraine situation. I was icing periodically during the day and over night but I must not have been icing enough? I woke up day 2 post op and felt good the swelling had gone down slightly and I felt able to take on a few dimples tasks (puttibgvaway laundry, sweeping up my cracker crumbs from med time by my bed and giving my husband a haircut). By the end of that I felt like death and had a headache so strong nothing made it go away or lighten up...There was crying.. there was no eating... just praying to fall asleep. Luckily the esthetician emailed my husband to check up on us as he had a facial peel with her a few days prior to my surgery. She said she could not stress the importance of icing all the time.. something about the nerves and the swelling and she promised I should feel better the next day. Well today is the next day and while I don’t gave a constant headache anymore like she said I’m terrified to move lol.. I write this as I lay in bed mustering the courage to see how it goes. I slept with ice packs through out the entire night. So DONT GET ME WRONG ITS STILL WORTH IT!!! None of my pain (or pain pill useage) or agony with this experience has been due to my actual lips. It’s the tension I’ve experienced in my jaw line and and the full head, neck and face headache I (probably) self inflicted on accident. I can’t say that I remember reading any reviews during my research that had complaints about a migraine like me so it’s probably a one off situation and I tend to not sit still well. So listen to your doctor when they say ICE ICE ICE continuously. For me it was hard the first 24 hours because with the numbness in the lips and tension in the jaw it felt like it made me tense more. But it works miracles you don’t even realize!

It’s been almost 2 months since my procuder and I LOVE them!! It took a few weeks to gain back full feeling of my lips and/or nerves to get back to normal but it was nothing drastic. I never bruised and if I hadn’t mentioned it in any previous posts I did do the 5mm Permalip on top and bottom. I’ve posted pictures of with and without make up.
