@@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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
