    Default Getting lip injections tomorrow (juvederm)

    I'm excited/nervous about it. First time getting anything done. I'm getting juvederm volift. I have always wanted plumper lips, had been drawing lip liner over my lip line since I was in my teens. I figure its nothing drastic but will hopefully make me a bit more confident. Would like to know anyone's experience with lip augmentation, how did it go? We're you happy with the results?

    Good luck! I'm sure it'll look great. I'm doing an implant in a week, and I am getting nervous. If no one responds to your new thread with stories and you want to read some, if you search juvederm, lip injections, lip augmentation or similar terms, you should find some older threads with girls talking about their experiences with injections. I perused all of them when I was making a decision, and pretty much everyone loved their injections and only wished the effects were permanent. Real Self is also a great site for stories.

    I got my lips down about 3 weeks and love them, but they will be big and swollen for a couple of days so don't freak out, they do go down. My lips are naturally full but overtime they have lost a bit of their definition and I was getting slight pucker lines but now they are perfect and I love them. Good luck I'm sure they'll turn out amazing!

    It's been a few hours since I did it. She said there might be some pain after but so far so good, no pain. Theyre just swollen. As for the results, it's very subtle. They do look fuller.My bf thinks there is no difference, they just look swollen. I would have liked them to be a bit bigger (I got one syringe) I heard you need two syringes if you want them to be noticeably bigger. I am still glad I did it.

    Have you looked into the vy procedure? It's permanent and they don't put anything in your lip. I had it done 16 years ago.

    ^I looked into it, but I would really prefer a bullhorn lip lift, as I have a long upper lip--I'm just afraid of the potential visibility of the scar. I am doing the implant, which is supposed to be permanent too, and a rhino first to see if I am happy with that, and if not, I have three doctors I'm interested in for the bullhorn. Apparently a lot of doctors don't like to do bullhorns or VY anymore and just recommend fillers.

    Whats the bullhorn? You can see my scar if I tilt my head all the way back. But I had mine done 16 years ago. I know a girl who had it done about 8 years ago and she has no visible scar. About 2 years before I had it dome they cut through the lip but now they do it inside. they need to get high enough. I know a good doctor in fl.

    The bullhorn is where they make an incision right along the base of your nose and remove a few millimeters of tissue. They pull the upper lip up, decreasing the space between the base of your nose and the pink of your top lip while also showing more pink, so augmenting the top lip. But it has the risk of a visible scar if your nose isn't suitable for masking it, and a bad surgeon can botch it and make your smile wonky. Surgeons who specialize in facial feminization do a lot of them, and I've seen a few good regular facial plastic surgeons on Real Self who do it too. I think it would be better for me than VY because I have a slightly long upper lip. The ideal upper lip is about 11mm, and mine is about 15mm. I was looking into a surgeon near me, but his results on Real Self are really hit or miss, so I'm not going to chance going to him.

    I had my lips done and I love it. The first time I just wanted my upper lipline defined, but I decided I wanted more fullness and went back 6 months later and had my upper lip enhanced. Normally they recommend your upper lip is 2/3 the size of your lower, but told me I had the cheekbones to hold a "swedish lip", where my upper lip was the same size as the lower. There was swelling, but mine never really...unswelled? It was really the skin around my lips that seemed to change after I had it done. So it's possible in a few weeks it will look the same.
    I also had issues with weird numbness all the way up to my nose and the dental block murdered my chin ( I actually had a bruise on my chin from the injection inside my mouth).
    Just remember, you can always have more if you decide the enhancement was too conservative

    I'll have to look into it. I may have had that? I thought I had the vy. Not sure but I have a little scar visible under my nose. I wish I had a wide mouth. I was hoping for that when I went to the same doctor that did a girl I worked with but he changed his technique and it didn't make my lip wider. I've aged since and would like to do it again. I loved it the first 10 years I had it. I use to get compliments all the time and get told I had DSL lips but not much anymore. To me it looks a bit bigger than it use to originally but I'm use to seeing it. I did put .02 in my top ( never did my bottom as it's big) last time I had filler and I think it actually made my lip look smaller. Could be her technique? I can't wait for it to wear off as I liked my lip better before. I think I will just do another lip aug as I like the look better than fillers. Before fillers 15 years ago I got fat. Looked great but lasted 1 month after swelling went down so I get the permanant lip aug.

    ^That sounds like the bullhorn. The VY is done where the pink of your lip meets the flesh color, I think. Over the years, our upper lips naturally sag a little, diminishing how much pink we see and increasing the flesh-colored skin between the nose and upper lip, so that may be the effect you're seeing. Revision bullhorns are really common though, so I'm sure you could do another one if you have enough tissue. Some people even do revisions for the scar, so maybe you won't be able to see yours at all if you redo it.

    Juvederm works great for your lips and also for smile lines. Just dont overdo it! and yes, there will be some discomfort and swelling afterwards but its not too bad, and its only temporary.

    I'm noticing that one side of my upper lip is a bit bigger than the other. It's been 4 days now, do you think it could still just be swollen? I had the dental block when I got them done. If they don't even out would they charge me if I went back to fix it? It cost me $800 in total already.

    That's pretty normal, I had the same issue. it really takes about 2 weeks before you can tell how your lips are going to look at the end. If it continues after that I would schedule an appointment so they could look at it, generally they can reshape the product if it's not extreme.

    This happened to me. It's still noticiable but I only got .02 out of a .05 of filler for another area and just wanted to try. I've been getting filler so long I manipulated it but they can for about 4-6 weeks.

    For the love of God, make sure you're getting it from a certified DOCTOR, not a nurse or at a spa... I did juvederm (or something similar) on my nasolabial folds with a nurse and a year later it still looks and feels funny :s

    Also stock up on the bromelain and take arnica to prevent weird inflammations or bruising as much as possible.

    This is not true. Most p.s. are too busy (good ones any way) to offer botox and fillers. My doctor doesn't even do them. If you go to a med spa make sure the injector is a LNP they go to school almost as long as a doctor. And for your information they are the ones who train (not all but a lot). It's a 1 day course. LOL. So most important is to find somewhere with aLNP who trains and has been doing it a looong time and a place tha't gold or plarinumn cerified( means they reach a level of how much they do). The two times and two times only I had a P.S. do it, it was uneven and lump. I currently go to a platinum provider. They have 4 injectors I've tried 3 and 2 are awesome. Before I went to a bladder doctor for 7 years. He is awesome just doesn't carry restylane anymore and that's my choice of filler.
