    Default I look like a duck!

    So last week, I got fat injections into my upper and lower lips while I sedated for another surgery that was being performed. OMG, I woke up looking like an ALIEN freak. I swear I looked like a Chimpanzee with an overbite. My 14 month old daughter started crying when she was brought into the recovery room. I wasn't too worried right then and there because I have been having Hylaform/Restylane injections for a while and expected the swelling. By that night my lips didn't shrink ... they got bigger. I called my doc's nurse because I went into a full force panic attack. She told me that the swelling would peak at day three and then start to go down.

    Well, six days later now...I almost look like a human again. I am still shy to go into public at this point. But I am starting the see the shape of my lips and they are softening up. (They have been VERY hard and rubbery). I think by next week they will look about normal. The doc has to overfill by 60% because only 40% of the fat is retained. The rest is metabolized by the body.

    I will post before and after pics next week. Anyway, thought I'd share for anyone curious. I am interested to see how long the fat will last. It is said to last maybe a year or two. Much better than getting Resty injections every 4-6 months but goodness, I don't know if the pain and misery is worth it. We shall see...

    I've been curious about this procedure. I'd love to know more about your feelings on the results. My biggest fear is loss of sensation. I lost a lot of sensation when I got my implants. I am two years post op and still have tingles an numbness. I mostly lost all of niple sensation as well.

    Losing sensation in the lips is not an option for me. I like talking too much.

    Yes, I have temporarily lost sensation in my lips. This is definately another downside. My speech has been altered because of this too. Doc says this should be back to normal by next week.

    Note: I didn't do this to really "alter" my appearances. I just like the look that Hylaform and Restylane has given me in the past. Really, I have always like the shape of my lips but with age they seem to be not as full as when I was younger and I am getting lines in them, maybe from kissing so much! . Injections give them a more youthful appearance. The fat injections are only supposed to last a bit longer than the acid fillers. It is not a permanent change.

    Where are the pics you said you'd post? They should be looking good by now with the swelling gone. How's your speech?

    PICS woman!!!

    Also, I noticed alot of people in AZ seemed to have liplines a bit too young. I used to call it the AZ old lip syndrome I think it's caused from too much sun and not enough sunblock - lips need sunblock too! Oh and probably not enough water as well. That dry weather means you need alot more water than in other places.
