1 year post
it's been over a year.
WORTH IT$6,000
i am thrilled with my results. will be 41 in a couple months ;) wish i did it sooner!
it took quite awhile for ALL of the swelling to dissipate. i would say it continued to go down for almost a year. so those of you who are a few months into your healing process....BE PATIENT and just know that it will continue to improve for quite some time.
i am STILL getting used to looking at myself in the mirror. i guess when you live with the same face for 39 years....it's bound to trip you out for awhile when you change things up. very happy with what i see now!

Looks great! Seriously, looking 10 years younger. Amazing!
oh bless your heart!!! ;)
You look great, really. Your pics helped me to make the decision for a chin implant and a lips, and now I have an appointment with a facial plastic surgeon for my week chin and sub mental fat. Best wishes, swantje
You look great! I am considering having surgery with this doctor. I will be traveling from the east coast. Were you completely comfortable during your consultation? I know that he has alot of experience. Was his age ever a factor for you?
you look GREAT
Do you have any photos showing a front view before and after? I'm worried about my face looking longer. Your features are very similar to mine and your results look great!

4 months already
thought it would be helpful to post a pic at 4 months. i notice a lot of people don't post after a few months even though the healing time is estimated at 6-12 months for the procedures i had done. anyways, the swelling has settled even more since my last post.
a few people asked me about my appearance at Thanksgiving dinner and i was happy i could use my lip as an excuse for looking different...an unexpected benefit of having my lip injected. lol... anyways, this pic is from a couple weeks ago...Nov 23rd to be exact ;)

You look awesome! I've actually been considering getting my lip injected. I really feel like making my chin slightly bigger made my bottom lip look smaller! Lol
the chin totally effects your lips. lol. i'm already thinking about getting a little more injected...including my bottom lip.
I feel the same way about my lips. They were small to begin with but seem even smaller now with the new chin. But I do not want to pick myself apart, I have found myself focusing on other areas now that never bother me before when I had much bigger things to focus on, neck, jowls ect.
ah yes....it's a slippery slope! def important to keep yourself in check. i have been noticing other little things i'd like to change as well. it's a domino effect, but i think i'll stop at the lips for now. lol
Ugh it's so true! Now I understand how some people get carried away with plastic surgery :-/
Your results are fantastic! I'm scheduled for the same procedure in 3 weeks. I'm nervous! But thanks so much for your entries. I am feeling more and more confident in my decision.
Thank you so much for your posts! I have read and reread them over and over. I am having the same procedure done a week from tomorrow and am starting to get nervous. I booked the procedure back in November and wouldn't you know it... I was asked to be the maid of honor in a wedding which will be 6 weeks post op for me. Hope I am healed up in time or I'll have some explaining to do! =0
oh hi cekkart! i am SO so pleased with my results. i will be 6 month post the day after tomorrow. i was still pretty swollen at 6 weeks (compared to my final results) but no one ever said anything to me about it. and i didn't notice any funny looks. def do a low sodium diet and stay away from alcohol and drink a ton of water leading up to the wedding. i noticed a huge improvement in my swelling when i followed these 'rules' :D
Thanks for the advice! Some "rules" really aren't meant to be broken, I guess. Lol. Even though as a mom of 4, it will be hard to avoid a glass of wine once in a while. But I'll survive with the end result in mind. =) Your results are amazing and I hope I am in love with mine.
haha! i would just avoid the wine a week leading up to the wedding. no need to deprive yourself!! i didn't really follow any of these rules BTW ;)
oh and i forgot to mention sleeping upright a couple of days before too. all the little tweaks will add up to keep the swelling down. just know that you will continue to see improvement for at least 6 months. it's pretty exciting! please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. i had my recovery all while cosleeping and nursing a 14 month old all night...and chasing her around all day. i def needed help for the first week or so, but after that it was totally manageable.
