WORTH IT$1,500
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

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.
