5mm Permalip Implants

I met with the surgeon yesterday who said she wants the stitches to come out naturally, but said I was healing up great. The swelling has gone down a lot and she said that this should be about where they stay, which is awesome because I think they're perfect this size.

Today I went out without a medical mask on and was stopped at least 5 times asking what I'd had done to my lips because they looked great. It's weird because I feel like it's such a minor difference.

I also stopped drinking only liquids and switched to soft foods today and my mouth is extremely sore.

I'm hoping these stitches will start coming out this weekend because they're driving me insane!!

I brushed my teeth for the first time today with my electric toothbrush. I would say anyone considering getting lip implants owes it to themselves to buy a Waterpik.

The stitches are coming out tomorrow which is great because I'm able to move them more but the stitches are pulling and it's uncomfortable. Almost all bruising is gone. I do hope they go down a bit more, I feel like they still look a little silly. I feel like I'm recovering really fast.

Going to work this morning was a mistake. I was incoherent, couldn't speak sentences, and our office coordinator found me asleep at my desk. Obviously I came home early. I took the last prescribed Vicodin and am now taking only Norco, which I am used to.

Wearing the mask sucks, I don't like being the center of attention and I felt like I was being stared at by everyone today.

My lips really hurt, I can't emphasize that enough. I have a high pain tolerance and they hurt.

I feel like I can't keep them moisturized, but I'm expecting the top layer of skin to peel. I have a bruise all around my lips that looks like a creeper mustache.

I can tell I'm going to love them once the swelling has gone down. I don't think Permalip is for someone who wants fake looking lips, I think this product is for someone who wants larger, but still natural looking lips.
