thank you! so you have seen improvement? i have one more question, after like a week or two of leaving the skin on, would you say your lips are really noticable? i feel like mine are getting less and less noticable the longer i try to leave them alone.. of course, if you went right up to them you would definitely notice them, but from a short distance they seem alright. i really don't know what to do though. i'm going on a year with this horrendous nightmare, and i'm getting so depressed because i can't bear to be around people. i think i might even be getting body dysmorphic disorder. i like to consider myself an attractive person (when my lips were normal), but now i'm so convinced that i'm so ugly and hideous to look at. it just completely undermines the little self-confidence i once had. i don't know how to overcome this thing.
