Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
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.

Removed stitches
Doctor said my lips were still 70% swollen. Will only see the end results 3 months later.
Lip reduction
Did my lip reduction surgery on 3 March 2021. The only pain I felt was the injection to numb my lips before surgery. The only discomfort I felt was after the surgery (for the whole day). I only took one pain killer after the surgery on the same day. The day after surgery I felt 0 pain and 0 discomfort. The only annoying thing was that I had a hard time opening my mouth as there was a lot of dried skin/ harden dried blood on my lips.
When I went back to the clinic for my first follow up appointment (10 days after surgery), I was not able to remove the stitches yet but they cleaned my wound for me making it less obvious. I was able to go back to work the next working day as the stitches were not obvious and it looked more like a dried, chapped lip.
Doctor mentioned that my lips were swollen (I couldn't feel that it was swollen and I thought it was already healed lol) and the swell will go down in 6 weeks or less. As of today (2 weeks & 4 days), my lips has gone down quite a bit (but according to my doctor it'll still go down). I will only be removing my stitches in 6 days.
