    Question I want to get my lips done

    I really want fuller bigger lips, its been a year since I got my breast implants and I just cant stop thinking about going back to my surgeon for my lips...

    I'm always told I have a beautiful face but I am so embaressed by how thin my lips are, like if I wear lipstick I legit feel like a grandmother. I usually tend to wear my foundation on my lips with lip gloss to go for that nude look.

    So... those of you who have gotten your lips done what did you do? How much does it run you yearly? Will it really just ruin my lips if I stop getting them done? Any advise is greatly appreciated!

    Good questions.....I really want mine done as well. My main concern is that it'll end up looking weird or really obvious, then I'd be stuck with it for a few months.

    I'm getting mine done with my mother in June. I'm getting Juviderm most likely. I think it only looks funky when you get way too much(or go to a bad doctor).

    I got silicone. Love it. Looks awesome. They don't look like duck lips at all. No one knows I had it done, but they are def. thicker now. Used to be way thin. Never had a single problem with the silicone. It has been probably 14 yrs I had it.

    I got juvederm last year and love it. It is almost all gone now though so time for a top up. I only had one person who noticed... lol My lips were so thin b4 so 1ml pretty much took them to visible vs to skinny lines. haha. Funny thing is though I am so much more confident now. You wouldn't think a little thing like that would make a difference but I actually use my mouth differently now. Smile a little sexier, pout, etc. The confidence actually helped me make more money in the first few weeks too haha. It's like getting a new outfit or your hair done. A nice little boost. I really wish I could get them done again this week since I am off and it would be a good time to hide the swelling, but alas need my slush fund for a little getaway Im going on.. so hopefully sometime before the end of may for the top up!

    Jessie, I'd love to see some before and after pics if you don't mind. And possibly even what they look like now. Did the person notice you had work done? Or did they just comment that your lips looked bigger, but couldn't tell why?

    I've had Restylane put into my lips probably 6 times, and Juvederm once, last Summer. I've been doing my lips since I was 19, and have had subtle results as well as very dramatic Angelina Jolie lips. There is a lot of technique, depending on how you want your lips to look. They can inject into your cupids bow to lift that area, or your philtrums. I have my P.A. inject around the border, like lip liner, to make them curl out a lot, then she fills it in from there. Also, the more often you get them done, the more scar tissue builds up in there, and they will start to just stay full because of that. I am a huge fan of Restylane and Juvederm (I personally like Restylane better though)

    I did post some pics before...I think you saw them too.. If you search Juvederm they are in one of the threads posted in the last 5 months. The person who noticed said, "wow you got your lips done. I like them!" It was a bouncer at the club LOL. I was shocked he noticed.

    Sooooo... if someone has never had them done before, what's the average recovery time? I'm thinking about it. But I don't want to look beaten up for a week!

    This depends on whether or not you get a dental block.

    I texted you some prices, the lowest price I told you was a Dr. who does NOT perform a dental block. So, you just have to grit your teeth and deal with the pain for a couple minutes, but it's not that bad.

    The more expensive price is a P.A. who does do a pre block, then a full dental block, then you hold a hand mirror in front of your face and watch her do it. This way you can guide her to how you want your lips to look. There is definitely some technique involved, so if you are going for a certain look, I would do it this way. One major drawback though, you are going to swell like a mofo for one or two days, no more than that. The dental block is what causes the major swelling.

    Hope this info helps! Call me if you have any questions!

    Ya I had no dental block and would say the pain was about a 2/10. It did not hurt at all afterwards, just felt a little tender. No bruising for me. I could have worked that night. I took 3 days off though. I had already taken them in case I had pain or bruising.

    I started getting my lips filled with Restylane/Juvederm about 4 years ago for the same reason you want yours done. When I look at my senior picture now, I'm so happy I have them done. My natural lips are so tiny and thin! I always had to wear light, glossy colors and do the tacky lip liner slightly outside my natural lip line.

    At first I had to get them done every four months, then twice a year, and now no more than once a year. I could really probably go eighteen months to two years.

    I usually get them done in the morning, and spend the rest of the day home, resting and icing my lips to keep the swelling down. The next day, I go about my business. Any bruising I can hide with makeup/lipstick.

    I used to live in Mass, so I can recommend a doc if you need one.

    First of all, do not get lip implants, get lip injections. Lip implants sometimes get rejected/move around, incisions don't heal, the procedure isn't perfected as much as breast implants. One of the advantages to injections is they're cheaper, quicker and you don't have to pay as much. One of the disadvantages is they only last ~ 6months. I've had juvederm and restalyne. I prefer juvederm, it was less painful and produced better results. Lip injections are minimally painful compared to breast implants. It hurts for a few seconds and they're tender for a few days, no big deal.

    Lip injections can correct assymetry and can actually look really good, depending on the skill of the doctor. I liked them, but I have full lips anyway so I just pouted out the bottom and corrected a little assymetry. I'm glad I did it but running 500-600 a pop it wasn't worth the investment for me. If you're very uncomfortable with your lips it probably would.

    Dr. Jeffrey Dover of Skin Care Physicians of Chestnut Hill--www.skincarephysicians.net. He'll give you a very natural looking result--he won't do anything that looks fake or "done". I went to him the whole time I lived in Boston.

    You're probably too young for Botox, but if you choose to have this done as well, he places the injections so that you get a mini eyebrow lift!
