    I think you should be ok. The swelling should start to go down tomorrow. I wouldn't freak out just yet.

    BTW: You are gorgeous!

    I don't mean to offend you, but why did you do this? Your lips were perfect beforehand.

    Actually, your whole face is perfect. Don't mess with it anymore.

    Oh definitely. It will be ok.

    Mine looked like that too and I made the mistake of going to the mall right after. I got lots of weird looks, but whatever.

    After 2 days they were looking GREAT.

    You are HOT!

    Ya, you have great, pillowy lips already, you hardly needed restylane. I need restylane.

    What did your doctor/clinician say?

    that looks like a lot of swelling!

    I can't believe you think you needed a fuller upper lip!

    I'm definitely interested in seeing updates in 2 days.

    he just said the swelling would go down and that my lips would be proportionate... he also said i was lucky not to be bruised
    seriously though my top lip is basically nothing without lipliner, and ill post pics for sure, i just feel so freaked out right now!!

    Def interested in seeing updated pics. Don't worry the swelling will go down and eventually your body will dissolve it and break it down. Your pretty

    Don't worry the swelling is normal and should go away in a few days. It might take at least a few weeks for them to fluff out more and look a bit more natural though. Do you have any lumpiness? If so, try gently massaging the lumps for a minute or two as it helps to break the lumps down a bit.
    Use lots of ice in the meantime. I'm sure you will LOVE your lips a month from now so try not to freak out and maybe avoid looking in the mirror a lot in the next few days.

    I've found that they usually look best about 1-2 months after you get the injections. I've never gotten a full syringe, only a half but I always look like a freak/duck from the side for the first few weeks.

    I haven't gotten injections in so long though because my last experience left me with this weird lump on the inside on my lip that took a month to go away. Now I hate how my natural lips look and want more. It's sooo addicting lol.

    You'll be looking great in no time at all. Promise

    Lips are the one place you reaaaallly shouldn't try to fix. I've never seen a good lip job, ever.

    But hopefully it'll settle down more... cause that looks like the morning before a cold sore. Haha. Don't worry.

    Kinda true. I think injections look good ONLY when done in moderation. A little bit goes a long way. It's so easy to fuck up the lips and then have them look asymmetrical and throw off the balance of your other facial features.

    Every single boyfriend I've had has begged me not to get any more injections and I actually get more compliments on my lips when I don't have a filler in them.

    I wouldn't massage them unless the lumps are hard and still there after a week or two. It's totally normal for them to be lumpy right now. If they stay lumpy however it could be scar tissue and your doctor can then inject something in the lumps to dissolve them.
    Def. DON'T massage them without talking to your doctor first.

    Honestly they don't look that bad considering you just got them done a few hours ago. You should have seen mine the very first time I got them done. I cried when I first looked at them in the mirror- that's how ridiculous they looked. Your's don't look half as bad as mine did.
    I know it's really hard but try not to worry tonight. Watch tv or something to get your mind off of it or you'll drive yourself freaking crazy with worries.

    Also, did you get the dental block? Because I've found that it makes the swelling like a million times worse. The swelling usually peaks between 24-48 hours then it starts to go down.

    ETA- Yes the pain and soreness is completely normal for the first day or so. The pain will be the worst tonight (from my experience at least) Bags of frozen peas are your friend right now.

    The lumps are normal, because restylane and radiesse and juvederm...ect...are not your own fat they will feel different when you touch them. The swelling and bruising should be gone in the first week. Occasionally, a lump (bump) where the needle has been can form but with some anti-biotic it will go away. Just talk with your doc after the swelling goes down if there is a noticable bump.

    *Always a great idea to ask him/her to save a tiny bit in case of any unevenness!!

    Your lips look great ps, post some after pics for sure!

    I totally agree with this. Your lips were beautiful before! So plump and pillowy. That being said though, I hope you get the results you want, and if you don't, the injections only last a few months.

    Also the more I look at the lipliner you use to make your lips look bigger the more I think it looks really silly. You lined above your lip! Stop trying to make your lips bigger! I can tell without liner they're a great size!!

    I agree with everyone that you don't need work-- HOWEVER, your name is effing Barbie so you're going for the plastic fake look (and making it look really good.) You look great with less fake stuff-- but since mentally you're going for the Barbie look I doubt you're going to think that.

    Good luck with everything and always read the fine print on what could go wrong. don't get so much work done that it starts to make you look old.
