How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Swelling is over by now. There's still some stitches as well as numbness, and a tightness when I smile, but I can pretty confidently say that the swelling is over and I'm close to looking at the final result. I really love my lips now! I probably won't be updating this as frequently anymore.
I'm back to eating normal foods now. I'll probably stay away from crackers and chips, but otherwise I'm on a normal diet.
If I update again, it'll probably be in a week or so because I think the day to day changes are over.

The swelling has gone down by a lot. The worst of the recovery is over, but I've still got stitches in my mouth. I also noticed a few white bumps which seems to have happened to a few other people in the past so I presume it's nothing serious.
I'm hopeful that the swelling will reduce even further and that my lips will continue to get smaller over the course of this week.

Officially one week after surgery now. The worst of the swelling is over, albeit my lips are still quite swollen. I can feel the sutures start to dissolve, and a good amount have started hanging out. I really want to trim the ones that are hanging, but was told not to so I'll just wait a little. My lips are still numb.
It's kind of hard to smile, and I'm trying not to laugh or smile too much out of fear of breaking the sutures.
Again, my main concerns are the numbness and swelling so hopefully they'll go down soon.
