Hi

I did start my blog the other day but I must of done something wrong!

I had my implants done on Tuesday and I was little worried with how swollen they became so I had a look at other posts on here and what they experienced.  It put my mind at ease, reading that what I was experiencing was pretty normal, so I thought it might be a good idea to start a blog on my recovery etc.

I had my appointment at about 10am on Tuesday and it was pretty straight forward.  I purposely didn't watch any video footage on how it is done as I thought that may put me off.  I was given several injections to knumb the area and all I experienced was a tugging sensation.  It only took about 20 minutes to complete the procedure and I must admit that my lips were swollen but one side of my bottom lip was bigger than the other, but I was assured that this was normal, and to expect for my lips to swell up some more.  I had already started my anit-biotics the day before and was told to take ibrupophen for the pain and was presecribed some eye oinkment that I was to put on the wounds to help stop infection. By the time I got home my lips were huge and I looked hideous, lol.  They were as big as Pete Burns but my philtrum was so swollen that it looked how Lesley Ash's looks.  At this point I did get a bit worried but luckily I was able to read posts by Rich Tea and other people on this forum who also described themselves as looking like Pete Burns and Lesley Ash!  My lips did get worse before they got better and you will probably be really shocked by some of the photos that I took.  My face from under my nose, down to my chin was severely bruised and my skin did start to peel on my lips, even though I smothered them in vaseline to keep them moistered.  I have had to eat using a teaspoon and I have struggled to drink without dribbling down myself and I also found brushing my teeth a bit of a nightmare.  The swelling has really gone down but my lips feel really tight and my philtrum is still swollen and I am praying that this goes down completely.  I go back to the clinic on Tuesday for a check up and I'm sure that the swelling will have gone down some more.

I will update my photos as I recover

Thanks

Hi Everyone

I am seriously considering having permalip implants and would love any advice from anyone who has already gone through this.  I have had fillers in the past and don't like that it has to be regularly topped up.  My only concerns with permalip are, that I read on this forum that someone was rejected because their lips were too thin and that thin lips might only get a subtle change.  My top lip is barely there and I would love to have a decent set of lips.  I live in Nottinghamshire,  but am willing to travel anywhere to see a highly recommended  surgeon.

Thanks
