I Want Bigger Lips?

Hi I would like bigger lips that are long lasting but if I do not like the result i would be able to remove it. I have had my lips done 3 times within two months, each time with 1 ml. Almost the whole 1 ml went to my upper lip, so i have had about 2,3 ml in my lower lip. The problem is that after a week there is almost nothing left in my lips. The result is not even there. They used Juvederm, and I want a product that is long lasting. Can someone also explain why this is happing to me? Thank you

Procedures to enlarge lips

In the United States, there are no permanent FDA-approved fillers that I would recommend for your lips. You could try using Restylane instead of Juvederm to see if you get a better result. As previously mentioned, you could also try a surgically placed implant for longer lasting results.

Bigger Natural Looking Lips

If you are unsatisfied with fillers for the lips, you may want to consider a lip implant, which is permanent but reversible. Please consult with a board certified specialist who can help you achieve the results you seek.
