    Default Why do I see so many before/after pics of lip augmentations...

    Why do I see so many before/after pics of people who've had lip injections...and it doesn't look like they've had anything done? I understand that some people want a "natural" look, but there's a difference between "natural" vs. "looking the same as pre-injection."

    What do I say to the doctor if I want a little "unnatural" looking lip job? How do I ensure that I actually see a difference when I hold up pics of my myself pre-lip job and post lip job?

    Ooh, good question. Do you have any pics you could post, or a link?

    I know I've seen some wrinkle before-afters that didn't look any different...

    From what I've seen with lip injections... they're very noticable within a week but after that I can't really tell a difference from the before. On the other side of things there are some girls with ginormous fake lips that stay ginormous and fake for a long time. So I really don't know either... all I know is the natural look does seem to fade quickly.

    I mean, I can kiiinda see how the upper lip is slightly bigger...I guess. I dunno, I just figure that if I'm going to get a lip job, I want bigger than something like that bc what's the point if I can barely notice it?

    edit: the more i look at this, the more i see it...nm. i like it

    that one also. keep in mind that's right after the injection, which means that swelling is evident. the top lip doesn't look that much bigger than her real lip now...so how will it be when swelling goes away?

    I think its a really fine line between the two , You say you want the natural look and theres hardly a difference or you get slightly more and I think it makes the lips go a weird shape..slightly trout pouty

    Katie price for instance :

    Though I think that can look nice after a while and it settling

    Perhaps take pics in for reference of what u like and dont like

    Oh my...... I've had my lips done about six times with Restylane, since I was around 18 or 19. It really is awesome! I have big features, so my face was soooo much more balanced post Restylane! As for those photos, ehhh not such much. Here's me immediately afterwards (well 12 hours post) and then the final result...

    Your so pretty I love your tan

    I just remember theres another girl on here who talked about her experience with restylane(and some pictures of results) if you try the advanced search option the topics will come up! I think she decided it wasnt worth the money as the effect didnt last long enough

    I've heard of it not lasting long on some people. Here's what I did: I got them done, then got them done about six or eight weeks later, then they lasted FOREVER!!!! Like a year and a half. They say thats the trick. I don't know, it worked for me. It depends on how fast your body metabolizes the product.

    Bex, you're def right. There is a thin line.

    JD, I've told you once and I'll tell you again...you are HOT! I remember seeing your pics before when you said to check out your myspace. I want my lips to be just like yours...if that's possible. How many CCs did you get? I'm thinking I want 2...1 for each lip.

    Attached is a pic of my lips now. If the "closed mouth" pic looks funny, it's bc my mouth is naturally always open and had that stupid look goin on . It's not that bad, though, cuz I smile a lot .

    I don't live near Dallas at all, unfort. 1 CC gets you THOSE results? Wow. Whenever I usually see people who have 1 CC done, it doesn't look like they got much of anything done.

    Btw, JD, what type of makeup are you using in the last pic? W/e it is, it's beautiful...so shimmery

    Oh, thats MAC blush in Peachtwist. And some other cakey MAC makeup....

    I would go to a consult with several doctors or P.A.s. Find someone who specializes in injectable facial fillers. Don't go to a regular Plastic surgeon.
