Hi Everyone!
I weaned myself off the pain meds yesterday, so I can finally concentrate enough to use my computer and post a few photos!
Overall recovery has been good, not much pain at all. The worst part was the feeling of having my face being stretched out in all directions from the swelling and new implants. The swelling still has a long ways to go, but it has come down a lot in the last couple of days. My lips still look totally ridiculous, but at least they don't feel stretched beyond belief anymore.
Really looking forward to monday when all the stitches and bandages come off. I feel like a bit of a monster at the moment, so even with the cabin fever I don't really feel like venturing outside. Maybe I'll be brave enough for my friend to drive us around town so we can at least see a few sites while we're here!
I'll post more thoughts about the experience later, but without further ado, here are some pictures!
Just before, and just after


The first night... mostly icing and sleeping, but a few occasional bouts of goofiness.
Looking back, the amount of swelling I had here was incredible!


Day 2... Feeling a bit better already, but still tons of sleeping
