2 mm revision

Revision ! So about a week after my first surgery all my swelling was gone and really this whole time it hasn't changed since . It didn't drop at all but I knew I wanted a couple more mm taken off . My first time was 4 mm and this time I told him please take off 2 mm and he said it was about 2 mm so I'm assuming it was or close . My smile and lip looked so much better after my first surgery but I knew I wanted more of my top lip turned upward and more tooth show . I think it's perfect now ! Of course there is probably swelling but mine was worse last time on the 2nd and 3rd day . I just had my surgery this morning at 9 . Now I know if I choose to get lip fillers in the future they will look great because my lip is lifted enough and my smile will look even better when it is all healed .

Day four

Feel ready to go places but still have the self absorb stitches . I feel like they won't come off until Monday but we will see. I see a little cute improvement to the shape similar looking to when I tried filler 7 years ago . I definitely think this gives a rejuvenating affect to my face since I used to smoke for 10 years but have not for about 6 years and I think the lines by my mouth were caused by this . I see a nice improvement to my lower face even though I am still wanting more skin removed this was definitely a great surgery for me .
