So this update is nearly two months after the stitches have been out/healing my lips without them! Just some advice for everyone, don’t be too discouraged about how it looks at first. I did have what appeared to be hypertrophic (raised) scarring on the bottom corners of my lips. It did scare me at first, especially with how red/brownish they appeared. Thankfully they’ve faded and shrunk a lot, but I definitely can’t go without makeup otherwise they’re still kind of noticeable. The consultant at Hyundai I kept in contact with let me know that it should fade over time, but it does take months depending on your skin. I’m a pretty slow healer so I guess it’s not a surprise I’m still dealing with scar discoloration and etc. after the surgery. I would just advise y’all to not expose your lips to sunlight otherwise you’ll deal with discoloration like me. Also the skin/muscle tissue that was performed on still feels a little hard if I press on it because of the scars healing. It takes around a full year for the scar maturation process to complete. Good thing though is that swelling is all gone! Here’s some pictures of my lips now with makeup!
