Subtle Improvement That Lifts Years off

Natural2011
WORTH IT
Only 2.5 wks post surgery. Incision hardly noticeable and healing nicely. Lips look subtle and beautiful. The only issues remaining is the swelling in nose(nose looks huge!), and the lip stiffness that affect mobility like smiling and talking normally. Haven’t kissed my boyfriend other than a peck. Looking forward to the swelling going down and nose going back to normal. Again, it’s only been 2.5 wks and they said it takes 3 mos to be “picture perfect” but I’m going out and about and had a dinner date with my boyfriend last night.
The procedure itself was painless and the Dr is very gentle with graceful hands. I assume he plays the piano based on how he moves his hands. I believe this is why his sutures are so perfect! Days 1-3 were quite swollen and I looked a mess. Didn’t leave the hotel room. Day 4 I started getting out and about but wore a mask. By day 8 I was fine going out in public. The swelling has gone down immensely which is likely why my nose is standing out so much as it’s the last to heal. It does throw me off when I look in the mirror because a swollen nose affects the entire balance, but I have been contouring the heck out of it for now. The swelling is worse in the mornings but calms down by lunch time. I ordered some lymphatic drainage drops to see if that helps!
Other than that, I am quite pleased already.
Will update as time goes on.

Hi @Natural2011,
Would you mind revealing how much the cost of this procedure was? Did you have the corners lifted at all or just the space between the nostrils and the cupids bow minimized? Thank you so much for your review!
