Juvederm injected into the lips is a great way to augment the lips. I would not be upset with anyone other than the expectations that you had from the amount that was injected. If you feel you need more to get the desired appearance than speak with your doctor, but expect to pay more. Each... more
Can I get "pouty lips" from Juvederm?
6 days ago i recieved 1 and 1/2 syringes of juvederm in my lips. I have had the typical bruising and swelling and totally expected that. That is listed by the makers of the product and I knew to expect it.
I did not expect the drastic loss of fullness once the swelling went down. I love the look of my lips as far as they are beautifully smooth. But wow the size is gone they look like my regular lips with a ever so slight pout and smooth. That's great but not what I was told and not what i paid $800 for. If I pay that kind of money I expect more results. I almost feel cheated and cheated more by the makers of the product than by the doctor. The doctors can't promise anything, they go on experience and what the makers tell them. I was told what I recieved was a lot compaired to other patients. My doctor told me most start with one syrnge. I go tomorrow to try and get what I went for.
I don't know how much more to do or am I wasting my money and this will always happen once the swelling is gone? How much does it take to look pouty? Please help me. I was so excited and now I feel like I want to cry, it has been a huge let down.

A: Juvederm lips - Do they look better now than before?
Do you look better now than before you got it? That is the question. It is not whether you liked it better when you were swollen than now. it is only about the improvement relative to the way you were before you walked into your doctor's office. Improvement from how you looked before is all that Juvederm -... more

Try Lip Venom or Lip Fusion or any of the "plumpers" on the market. They work. They do. And if you're a fan of smearing wasabi on your lips, you'll love them. If you prefer that your lips NOT feel as though they been attacked by a swarm of irritated bees, you might reconsider.

I think it is a rip off if you look almost the same as before after spending $800.00, I had Juvie in upper lip(amd naselfolds) too and I loved the immeditate results but was a bit disappointed that less than 3 months later they kinda looked deflated already...for almost one thousand dollars I exepect these fillers to last as long as the makers of the products say they will!

I got one syringe in my lips for my first visit and barley saw a difference, I also felt a little ripped off. I got a second syringe and love the result now, I feel it was well worth paying more. Some doctors are conservative at first since it's a lot better to under fill than over fill. But if your lips are very thin, injecting more may look unnatural. Talk to your doctor about it and see what they say and maybe get a second opinion if your still unsure.
