After searching for almost a year and interviewing a few doctors in my local state, the answer of why I should or should not have them done left me alittle nervous about the procedure. But I decided to keep searching my lips were really bothering me they were so thin. I wasn't intersted in doing injectables I was wanted a more permanent soLuton to my thin lips. Furthermore I didn't want really big lips because on me that wouldn't look natural and just won't look right on me since I have never had big lips . I kepting looking on real self and found Dr.Jeffrey Horowriz in Maryland and I just happening to be traveling there for work . So I called and booked my appointment I had basically only one day to get this happen. The day of my procedure I arrived and the Doctor greeted me , when I came in his staff that day were off so it was just the Doctor and I . We talked about the procedure and what was to be excepted . The doctor used a numbing cream to the inside of my cheeks before he injected 4 shorts ( I believe it was lidocaine ) in any case it called a dental block. I didn't find the shots painful at all the doctor did a great job injecting the shots. But everybody pain tolrance is different.I have a few dental blocks before my brother is a dentist . Furthermore he wanted for me to get numb, placed a paper over my face with course a cut out for my eyes and nose . The Doctor said I could feel so pulling and tugging but I felt nothing as far I was concerned it was a piece of cake. Further, with paperwork and everything I belive I was walking out an hour and half later. I left the office with a small ice pack and a surgery mask on my lios The Doctor wrote me a prescription for pain pills because I was getting on a airplane for 5 hours and that was my biggest fear that I was going to be in pain stuck on an airplane in pain. But I decided not to fill it because I was flying alone and what if I feel a sleep and missed my plane or the pain pills made me sick to my stomach. I arrived at the airport about 45 minutes later just in time for the dental block to start to wear off I headed for Jamba juice ( you can't use a straw) but the cold drink felt good. My next stop was the airport store for extra strength acetaminophen of course just my luck they had none . As I waiting for plane my worst fear had come true my lips were throbbing and I was in pain . I decided I had to risk extra bruiseing by taking advil but I couldn't image sitting on a plane in pain. So I took some advil (400mg ) and omg it worked I was relieved I was very tried for not sleeping well the night before and slept on the plane probably 3 hours . I arrived home at midnight I took more advil just incase and had no problems sleeping all night . I am sure I wasn't propped upand I lost the anica pills the Doctor gave me in the airport . So for doing everything wrong I survived lol

Did you get perms lip implants? Did you do both upper and lower ? Did you go with the 5 mm or 4mm? You don't even look like you have any bruising!

Looking good! I’m happy with my 4mm as well! I’m just at two weeks and stitches are still an issue. Won’t be much longer. Easy procedure.
