Day 9, swelling came down nicely! I had originally thought that my bottom lip was looking curled out now, but it's coming back in like it used to be so I'm happy about that. I get my stitches out tomorrow. They also have softened up some, but don't quite feel totally natural yet. No more pain. Pain wasn't bad throughout though, at all. Just immediately post op that I probably could have prevented had I taken a pain pill before the procedure since the lidocaine wears off quick, but after that it's been very manageable.

Day 5

Swelling has gone down a lot, I have some bruising above my top lip, kind of like a mustache shadow. And also in the corners. Hoping they loosen up and don't feel so stiff much longer. I can't put my lips together like if I were blotting lipstick or Chapstick

They are looking nice! How would you recommend dr Giacobbe? Especially for the fillers and Botox? I am looking for a new physician in Bflo...

He's fantastic. Very experienced, gentle. He has a nurse Lori in the office that also does fillers, she's wonderful too. She does her own I believe and she's beautiful. All of my friends go to dr Giacobbe or Lori and love them.

Day 3, working
niki0206January 17, 2016
Today is day 3, I'm actually at work, I'm working a homecare case as a nurse so it's pretty laid back, no lifting, I'm wearing a mask. I'm still quite swollen, bruising is subsiding, except I have a blue mustache from a bruise but I think the arnica is helping that. Very little pain, only areas of pain are where my stitches are, and it's not continuous pain, I just notice it if I yawn or move my mouth a certain way. Will update day 2 and 3 pix

I have had juviderm many times and never have I had such swollen lips. They have gone down within two days. It looks like they injected it into the lip and not around the lip borders.... Keep me posted...

Hi sorry for the confusion. I didn't do juviderm this time, this time was the implants. My left side too is always a little lower, I'm going back next week to see if we can surgically remove that little bit that hangs more as it is now more pronounced with the implants
