    Default Ristaline??Lip Injections For Definition

    I have an appointmrnt next week to get the outlline of my lips more defined. They use the same product as they would to inject in your lips to make them fuller, i believe its called Ristaline (Spelling???).
    I just want my lips more defined so I can wear clear lip gloss all the time. Has anyone tried this as a lip definition, and not a filler?

    Lip definition? You're getting your lips filled to define them and injecting something into your lips, so it's the same thing. If you're shooting something into your skin, you're filling it, whether it's lips or wrinkles.
    Restylane is hylauronic acid,a natural substance that requires no allergy testing like bovine collagen, with comes from cows. The results last for 6-12 months, longer than collagen, and the injections hurt more than collagen because the molecules are larger.

    NinaDaisy,
    I am not getting anything injected in my lips. What they do is use the restylane needle almost at a sideways angle along the exterior of your lips......not into the lip. Somehow this forms an outter line, the same colour of your lips, along the exterior. Have you heard of it being used this way?
    The thought of it makes me almost puke tho.
    Thanks for your help.

    They use the needle along your lipline, the edge, and that medically qualifies as getting injectable fillers in your lips. It doesn't color your lips like permanent lipliner, Restylane is a plumper.

    Anything used to plump the lips is injected along the lipline, and with Restylane the doc plumps the skin (or lips) with his fingers a bit to let it settle better into the desired result.

    Cali if that is the case, then why not get a nice colour permanant lip liner Tattoo? Cheaper, lasts forever, and you pick the colour!!!!

    Ninadaisy,

    Never had it done, but have several relatives and friends that are doctors. I don't make posts about medical stuff unless I'm certain, and when I'm uncertain I say so.

    Yes, it does hurt. Even though the needle itself is tiny, the lipline has a very high concentration of nerve endings, plus the molecules in Restylane are larger than other injectables. It lasts longer than collagen and requires no skin test or waiting period though.

    NinaDaisy,
    I talked to the "doctor" today. I reminded him that w/ this procedure, I did not want my lips to become any fuller. His response" Oh well, they may become a bit fuller......blah blah blah" Needless to say, I cancelled the appointment. Thankyou so much for your advice on this . He did lie to me initially and I would have not been a happy camper leaving his office.

    That is my my mission. Does the tattoing actually match your own lip colour for more natural results? Do cosmetic surgeons offer this?

    Yes Cali! You will want to see pictures of their work first. I went for a consult years ago (plastic surgeon) and she was fantastic. The line (the doctor had it done to her lips) was just a tad pinker, nothing you would notice out of place. Beautiful!

    Dark, YUK. The right colour....WOW!

    Cali!

    Rystalane is an hyalaronic injection that is mostly meant for deep lines. It has been used for lips, however there are a lot of people on the cosmetic surgery boards who have complained about 'lumpiness" in their lips. This takes a long time to go away and it is too expensive a mistake if this lump thing happens.

    Also, the injections can be so painful that some derms and surgeons offer a dental block injection or novocaine before the actual rystalane injections.

    Now that it has become legal, I have been trying to do all the research that I can.

    Cheers,

    Corey

    Cause I was thinking that your lips are already quite lush and plump, so why inject anything?

    If you decide to go the tattoo route, remember that cosmetic tattooing (AKA "permanent cosmetics") carries the same risk from regular tattoos, so make sure whoever does it sterilizes their instruments in a medical-grade autoclave, uses fresh ink and a fresh needle for you and wears gloves.
