Lip discoloration and crookedness
Hoping both issues will got better with more healing time!
Still healing...
My lips are not healing as well as I had hoped. I thought it would be relatively easily to remove the silicone and restore natural shape but there’s some uneveness from leftover silicone, indents from the wound separating, and scar tissue that’s caused bumps on my lips. I don’t know if it just me but I was told the lips don’t scar but mine so far have. There’s discoloration as well.
That being said, the shape is way less lumpy than when there was silicone in them. I’m just undecided what was the lesser of the evils. I’m definitely going to have to explore filler and/or limp implants. Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions for doctors to research.
My nose definitely has a much better shape from the profile. However my upper bone is still sticking out and my nose is now crooked from the front. However, my breathing is MUCH better from the septum and turbinate surgery.
Dr Shah says he can make some in office adjustments with both my nose bridge and lips. He has been great in understanding and is also not yet satisfied with the results which gives me confidence and peace of mind that my issues will be addressed as best they can.
My worst nightmare was having to get a third rhinoplasty and more work on the lips but I may have to go that route and have accepted it.

8 days post op
I’m getting the stitches on my lips removed today!
There is still a lot of swelling on the lips but they look more even. I must admit I was going back and forth in my bed about whether or not I should have done the lip reduction as right now it looks like they will still be uneven and a bit scarred but still is an improvement from before. Posting before and after let me know what you think.

Friendly bedside manner. Answered all of my questions even though I was nervous and perhaps annoying! Staff at the office is great and nurses were sweet. I am not sure yet about my results so I will leave another review after I heal a bit!
