my top lip is still more pouty but its basically back to the same size... the effect i liked lasted less than 1 month, definately not worth $600
wow, good to know.
but look on the bright side. You have the real ones that women would pay thousands for.
Now if only you'd give up the lipliner. :D

I think the restelyne looked hot-- I like big juicy lips & I'd totally do it if I had the $$$....
$600 for a month though??? I'd could only spend that if it wasn't my money, lol.

Since it only lasted a month....how long do they say it should typically last? I would hope for $600 it would be for more than a month.

I've heard of people getting fat liposuctioned out of their bodies and inserted into their lips. Is this a new or common procedure? I also heard it lasts longer than restylane.

Ouch! So not worth it. You look gorgeous either way, but your natural lips are so beautiful I wouldn't waste your money on lip injections. Buy yourself a nice pair of shoes every month instead.

The way you apply lipliner is distracting. You really should apply it TO the lipline, not above. I keep thinking you have a moustache!
Edit: Didn't mean for that to come out rude.. I just think you're making the "small lip" (in your mind) situation worse, not better, by applying it incorrectly.
Yeah..you absolutely don't need lip liner anymore, that's for sure.

It only last a month? That's interesting coz i had perlane injected into my smile lines and that only last about a month too - at $800. i was really happy with the initial result but seriously at that price i cant afford the upkeep.
i want to get my lips done. when i look at pics of full lips i find it so attractive. they look juicy and kissable.

I know that's not new, & it's suppose to look more natural. But the fat absorbs quick. I'd still get it done if I ever get lipo... might as well use that fat for something good.

The fat method doesnt last any longer. I had it done three times and each time after swelling went down it lasted maybe a month. If restalyne is done properly it should last 3-6 months. I get it done in my laugh lines every 6-7 months. Ive tried several doctors because the first two I used it only lasted like 3 months. Also the more you use restalyne the longer its supposed to last. I ended up getting a permanent procedure done. Its called the vy procedure they cut inside the lip and flip it out. My top lip is definitely fuller. You have to look around for a ps who does this procedure though because its not really common.

This is what I would love to get done. Who was your PS?
BTW, for anyone who is curious to what that is...

Vyanka, I had it done in florida by randall harell. He actually messed it up a bit. I had extra skin hanging down in the middle and when I went back he and the nurses acted like they didnt see it. The surgeon who did my breast aug fixed it for me. I went to him because he did a girl I worked with and I loved hers. He changed the way he did the procedure after that and mine looked totaly diffrent. I guess they look good though I get alot of compliments. It does hurt! Especially if you laugh when the stitches are in it feels like its going to rip open.

I just looked at the pictures on that website. Thats more conservative than mine or the others I have seen. An example of someone whos had the procedure is lisa rinna. Mine isnt as over the top as hers but its fuller than the picture on that website.

Yeah, I like hers bc it's subtle. I want something like that.

This is how I felt with the Juvederm I got. The first month was a big difference. After that, a small difference. However, I'm at six months and they are definitely still bigger. My bf likes them the way they are now because he said they looked too fake the first couple months.
