Help. Juvaderm and Lip Injections
I just made an appointment to get lip injections. I want to know if Juvaderm is the best product for doing so. If anyone has has experience how long did it last? (I'm not going to pay $500 for sum to last 2-3 mos. might as well save up and get surgery.) Anyways, I want to inject the top lip only with 1 full syringe. Do you think this will be enough and is it worth it. Thanks!!

By the way, when I talked to the spa I go to, they said that Juvaderm Ultra Plus is only used outside the lips like for wrinkles, but I saw some ppl who recommened it for the actual lip injects. They told me they only use Juvaderm Ulta for lip injects? So confused. I want something really plumping and dramatic. I feel like they might not know whats up.
Re: Help. Juvaderm and Lip Injections
depends on your age, your metabolism as to how long it will last.
juvederm ultra is GREAT for lips. i use one syringe in my top lip. i doubt any doctor will let your just get a lip implant without trying fillers first, so whether or not it only last two months or so for you is irrelevant because you need to know what the change will look like before you go permanent.
also, keep in mind that you will only augment what you already have. if you have pretty full lips as it is, one syringe in the top is going to give you a super porno look (if that's what you're going for. please let your injector be a woman, they seem to understand what you're going for a bit better.

I have literally no top lip at all. I get almost one syringe in the top and a little bit in the bottom. This makes me look like a normal person and lasts 1 year. I due for a top up now but too poor :(

Juvederm ultra. Thats how long its supposed to last. I think a lot of people think it disappears cause a) they get used to it and b) it does gradually go down... but since I have seriously no top lip at all I can easily tell if some is left lol
Re: Help. Juvaderm and Lip Injections
Wow. Did not realize it was supposed to last a year. Hopefully they dont fuck up when they are injecting lol.
Re: Help. Juvaderm and Lip Injections
I think the type of filler depends on what the doctor is comfortable with. Sometimes fillers can look like there are little balls under your skin if the doctor doesn't do it right, especially under the eyes and on the lips where the skin is so thin. I used to get my lips done for a while. I think my doctor used regular juvederm. It lasted about 9 months.
Re: Help. Juvaderm and Lip Injections
yes, always do what your doctor's preference, or if you're leaning one way (allergan over medicis), then find a doctor who prefers juvederm.
Re: Help. Juvaderm and Lip Injections
So I got my lips done on Monday. They looked a little crazy tuesday & wednesday. . . but now they are so perfect now I am never going to not have Juvaderm in my lips! I feel like I am starting to get addicted to all these procedures tho bucause they turn out so good.
Re: Help. Juvaderm and Lip Injections
^ yay so jealous... I really want that top up on mine but shouldn't really do it right now. Dammit! Maybe before christmas.
Re: Help. Juvaderm and Lip Injections
Maybe I should try Juvederm, because Restylane is a freakin joke. I have a stupid question. So with Juvederm, when the initial swelling goes down is there still a very noticeable before and after difference? It seems like with Restylane it is barely noticeable after all the swelling is gone=\
Re: Help. Juvaderm and Lip Injections
you shouldn't have incredible swelling regardless. if you are swelling a lot and then appearing to have no actual effect, you need to find a better injector. or you are underfilling, and you need to buy another syringe. or you are expecting unrealistic results. there's always a reason..
Re: Help. Juvaderm and Lip Injections
damn...I think it might be a combination of all of the above.
Re: Help. Juvaderm and Lip Injections
awww i'm sorry
some injectors are really good. and they can be a bit more magical with what they do than others.
but most injectors are going to augment what you have. if you have a REALLY good injector, you can go a little more wild.
i try to find a good injector in every state so that i can give recommendations but at this point, i simply schedule injections around times i'll be in certain places because it's just not worth the gamble when you've got a sure thing.
also, i don't like medicis products. i prefer allergan above all things though i think it's good for you to try everything once or twice so you can compare. but i would only ever use juvederm in lips.
Re: Help. Juvaderm and Lip Injections
I truly appreciate the advice^^
There is only one injector out here so I am really looking forward to having opitons once I move=) It will be such a field day!
Re: Help. Juvaderm and Lip Injections
ah, okay, i wasn't sure if guam was your current location or if maybe you had moved on since then. i imagine the prices are higher because you're on an island so it's just unacceptable to not get your money's worth. hold out for your move to dc if that's your first stop stateside and get really excited to have the results you want =)
