Subtle Lip Augmentation to Vermilion Border with Juvederm - Leeds, GB

I recently thought about enhancing my lips slightly but felt slightly hesitant due to not wanting to look as though I had obvious work done. I wouldn't say I had small lips before, possibly average size (??), but not only that, but they had a somewhat downturned appearance. After consulting with the woman who does my procedures, she suggested I start with .5 ml Juvederm to just enhance the vermilion border, both on the upper and lower lip. If, in the future, I decided I wanted more volume she would add another .5 ml but thought I may be happy with how they would turn out (she suggested due to my facial features, more may be the wrong thing in her opinion). So, to start off with, she numbed my lips with a topical anaesthetic. We waited for a while (she did my Botox during this time) and then we were ready to go. I honestly felt nothing (that must've been some strong stuff!). She was finished after maybe about 10 minutes - massaging the Juvederm as she was going along. These are the end results - I have a slight bruise on my upper lip; I bled for a bit on that site which is usual for me. The bleeding wasn't massive amounts, just took about 5 minutes to stop. Appreciate any comments - if I should keep them as they are or add another .5 ml. I go back in two weeks for a follow up appointment. Sorry for the gormless photos - trying to have a 'neutral' expression! :)

Thank you for starting your lip aug story here! I think your lips are really pretty and in the after photo they do appear less downturned. Do you have photos from the side you can post?

Hi Angie - I have a few pictures that I will upload - they aren't the best quality but I think you can see the changes in the silhouette - before they appear almost flat and as if they have no curve?! I think I can see a difference but it is SO HARD to look at yourself and be objective! :) I do think they are less downturned as well :) Regards, Sari xx

Hi Petra, your lips look great as they are. I would leave it at that. Putting more in I think won't look natural. Sallie.

Hi Sal, thank you! The nurse prescriber who did my lips is named Petra! :) I will wait and see how they settle! I am pretty happy so far but it's hard to say how much is swelling! Regards, Sari xx

I think they look lovely and would not add more, the current fullness suits your features well, I think anymore and people may question if you've had work done.

Hello, did you add .5ml per lip or all together? They look great!

You look very pretty, and natural. Your injector did a good job.

As requested I will upload some before and after side views. Apologies for the quality of the photos, but I think you get the general idea - the before picture, they lips almost appear flat - after, they appear to have a curve. I hate judging myself, so I'll let you decide!

I have a bit of bruising, especially to my upper lip. I am a bleeder though and any sort of trauma, even to my legs etc I'll bruise. So it's nothing unusual for me. Lips aren't very tender at all - they look sore but don't feel it. They don't appear to be less swollen than yesterday - not sure really! xx
