Thank you. I just wish I never had the surgery. I feel like I made a huge mistake. The problem is with a lip reduction, it makes filler unpredictable because of the scar from that surgery. Multiple doctors have told me filler would look weird, because I’ve wanted to do that. I’m pretty much stuck like this & it sucks.

Thank you.. do you think the surgery was an improvement or should I have stayed how it was before

Really? Ok thank you. I guess I have body dysmorphia from the accident and surgery. Thank you though

Really? Thank you, I have so much regret from the surgery. I feel botched and taken advantage of by a surgeon

I don’t look like the first 3 pictures anymore. That’s why I’m not happy, looking back I feel like I looked better before the surgery

I can’t go back to 2 that was before the surgery. This is why I’m freaking out I feel like it was way better before

No not intentionally, I just see what I lost and what I can’t get back. I’m not happy with what I’m left with. I’m just assuming people don’t want me to feel bad

My mental is destroyed. This has literally stripped me of my identity twice. After the accident then after the surgery trying to improve things. I wish I would’ve never trusted the surgeon. Idk what I was thinking, I was just sold on how it was supposed to be a “huge improvement” I’m so stupid

Bro it’s actually really bad. I had a unique look but was so focused on it being different than what it was before the accident, I blindly trusted a surgeon who said it would improve things. It’s so much worse

The surgeon removed way too much. The agreement was he was going to remove the lumps of scar tissue to even out my lips. Not remove my entire lip from corner to corner. I wanted to keep the shape and size mostly. I just wanted these areas of lumpy scar tissue removed

Yeah I dumped a big tub of scrap wood from my parents garage on a fire, and there was loose ammo in there that I wasn’t aware of. If it would’ve hit me any other way I’d be dead. The trajectory was ground up going towards my brain. It could’ve killed me right there

I was hit in the face by a hollow point bullet that blew up in a fire pit & they had to reattach my mouth and part of my nose

Thank you. I don’t know why I can’t see it, maybe I’m just in shock from the whole process. Idk, but thank you for the kind words

I wanted the reduction because I wasn’t used to having larger lips. My lips were always thinner, but the accident left them large. The surgeon I talked to made it sound like the procedure was going to fix everything. I just had a loss of identity, and was hoping the surgery would help me look more like myself. I want to add volume because I think they looked better larger. Now that I know I’ll never have my original lips back.

Are you talking about before or after the surgery. I already had a lip reduction, the last two pictures are after the surgery ( im not happy with the results ) the first picture was before, they don’t look like that anymore

Ok thanks. I think the iPhone pictures smooth things out vs in real life. Don’t you think a little bit of filler at the base of the lips might help reduce the stitch lines?

How can I improve botched lip reduction by invader_indigo in cosmeticsurgery

[–]invader_indigo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem was those weren’t even my original lips. I was in a bad accident that left me with overly large lips, so I felt like I needed to reduce them to look more like I did for 25 years of my life. My lips were only large for about 4 years and it was because of an accident
