I've always been self-conscious about my thin lips...
They gave me the option of going under anesthesia or getting local numbing injections. To save money I went with the numbing injections. I could barely feel the needle. Once they started the actual procedure I couldn't feel anything. There were a few moments where I did feel some sharp pain, but when I told the doctor he immediately gave me more numbing stuff and I couldn't feel it. I jokingly told the nurse I wanted to do it again after they were done, because it honestly was so relaxing (the anxiety and pain medicine they prescribed helped I'm sure).
I am currently 4 days into the healing process. My lips were super swollen the first two days. I'm talking Scarlett Johanssen having an allergic reaction kind of swollen. And I still can't really eat solid food. Talking, smiling, and drinking are kind of a struggle as well. I was told all of that will go away within a week of the procedure. Now my lips look awesome. I'm kind of sad because I know the swelling will continue to go down. But the shape is perfect and they look so much better, even though it's a subtle change.
Provider Review
Dr. Barber was happy to answer any questions I had, and I feel that he was super honest in his answers. He gave me the pros and cons of different procedures (implants vs. injections) and showed me before and after pictures. I was kind of worried before going in that a plastic surgeon might be a little bit judgmental, but he was actually very nice and complimentary. During the procedure, Dr. Barber was an absolute angel, as was the nurse and staff. He told me to tell him whenever I felt any pain, and he immediately gave me more numbing medication when I told him. If I made any kind of face or sound during the procedure (including once when I got excited because a Jewel song came on, haha), he made sure that I was doing okay. He was all around super sweet. So far my lips look great and I have absolutely no complaints about the results. The staff also called me for the three days after the procedure to check in with me, and I have a check-up a week from the surgery.
