That's the thing though. My lips don't appear to be swollen. I have very specific areas that are specifically affected. I agree someday I may look back and regret it. I'm 29 though. And I also feel its possible. I could go get a new nose tomorrow. I know some girls with new boobs. My friend got his face shattered beyond recognition in a car wreck and through plastic surgery looks completely normal(its truly amazing). I may look back one day and wish I had of gotten the peeling areas removed as well... It sucks but if my treatments don't work I think I owe it to myself to try it. I'm lucky that I have large lips and plenty of healthy lip to work with. Also the areas that peel are very specific. Not saying I'm going to yet, just saying I'm going to look into it.
