Too Much Skin Removed-looking for Hope
Too Much Skin Removed-looking for Hope
I am 10 days post-op from a rhinoplasty and lip lift. I originally went to the surgeon (in Turkey) for a rhinoplasty and was convinced to get a lip lift as well because my philthrum was too long. I wish I had taken more time to think about it but felt pressured in the moment and just said yes. Between the drastic nose and lip change I have a hard time looking at myself in the mirror-I look SO different and am so regretful.
I feel they took too much skin from under my nose. I have a triangular bunny lip now, my teeth show so much and more than that-my mouth can’t function properly. I can’t bring my upper lip down to cover my teeth, to suck on a straw, say certain words or get food fully off of a spoon. I look like I have a cleft lip. I’m trying to be patient and I know it’s only been 10 days but it’s so hard. My nose is also so big, I’m trying to be patient with that as well because I know it can take up to a year for swelling to go down. I just can’t regrow skin from my lip. I think bad I done one at a time it wouldn’t be as hard to process. I’m just looking for people that have experienced something similar (mostly the lip incontinence) but it got better over time.
