@@BigGirlPanties when I had my first round of plastics I had a makeover done at sephora and ulta. Now I need to try Mac. There are some awesome tutorials on YouTube (some awful ones, too, LOL).

You are really going to love having big luscious lips. Take it from me, big lips are sexy, fun, and beautiful.

Take very good care of yourself and those lips. (Smile - no wait don't smile, it might hurt - smile)

I know how sensitive the lips are and the pain can be exceedingly hard to endure. Hang in there and "this too shall pass."

I am really trying to learn about "face work".

I have been advised that a fat transfer to the face is probably the best thing for me to do. That is not cheap since you are sedated for that etc. i haven't really thought about lips, but I have super thin lips naturally and they would definately look better a bit "filled"

So - can someone point me to a resource of how to really investigate "face work"?

Hope your recovery goes great!

You may post questions to plastic surgeons on RealSelf. That may be helpful. And ask ask ask patients whom have had work done already... especially message them privately where they are likely to be more open than on a public forum.

I do not have any burning. It is not supposed to burn, even though it is a chemical burn. Maybe without the aquaphor it would??? Yes, I hope that I like the results.

I tried injectables in my lips a few months ago and you're right, it hurts!! I felt like I got punched for a few hours. I also wasn't overly crazy about the results, although the doctor I went to was fairly conservative. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

It takes a few times for the filler to stick. My body was absorbing it pretty quickly at first. After several sticks it lasted longer. But I would have tears rolling out my eyes when she did it. I wasn't crying per se but my eyes were tearing up from the pain. I am so glad to not have to go through that anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you very much!! All the skin peeled off by day 6. I am very happy with my new skin. The swelling has gone down a lot from the tuck up today and those results are looking good, too. Dr. Winslow does wonderful work... So does Dr. Capella. I feel so blessed to have found them.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
