I have been ridiculed over my thin lips, since childhood. While i might not get the same directly mean comments I once did, the damage has been done and I've always wanted to fix them. Making a change to your face is such a big decision, i have been apprehensive about choosing a lip surgery for over the last decade as i had seen some girls with less than desireable results. I finally decided to grow some perverbial balls and just do it. Right now I'm one day post op and I'm still just so excited even with the swelling of my nose and lips. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and I am overjoyed!

Day 3

Day 3 definite upperlip swelling. Tried to eat my first real meal today, the chewing just tugs at the stitches so I think I'll stick to protein shakes, who knows maybe I'll even lose weight from this,lol. I've only had ibuprofen today because the issue is one of swelling more than pain. Definitely an underlying fear of what the heck did I do...

Day 9

Stitches were taken out yesterday, and I'm just so happy to be able to leave the house again. Still not entirely sure if it's going to be symmetrical or not, but I could not be happier that my nose went back to it original size. I almost stopped caring about the lips when my nose was disproportionate to my face. I was to scared to post day 5 because I really struggled with how swollen I looked between the lips and nose. Today is entirely different. I will probably start dermarolling my scar in a week or so to get the skin to even out especially on my right side. So far so good though, definitely excited!

looks perfect! Youre still healing,wait few months,the asymetry should even out,I was liek this too, but mine were asymetrical before,somethign I never noticed untill i looked at the pictures before! now they seem pretty even,it all also depends what light youre looking at them in,if i stand where the light comes from left side,the left lip part looks lower,and vice versa lol,you can go nuts with that stuff.Dont forget ,youre not healed yet,it will still be changing a bit .I still notice it changing after 5 months! they seem to show more teeth now,finally lol.

Love the tooth show! The asymmetrically will resolve after a couple of months, just like Asia111 said. You’re still healing. Any before pix!
