Some doctors will only do one side at a time because of the swelling, but check out THH’s discussion, as he’s just had both sides done:

> A one-sided lip droop isn’t uncommon after ES surgery. It also has a very high healing rate i.e. I don’t know of anyone who hasn’t completely recovered from a post op lip droop. Be encouraged. It will feel & look funny for awhile but should gradually return to normal.
