I always wanted nice lips but I have had never courage to change something Very early this year I looked in the mirror and I thought: "man I'm getting older" and my lips are disappearing. I said to myself "I AM NOT READY TO GET OLDER......YET"*_* So I started to look for cosmetic doctors and procedures .

Surprisingly in New York I couldn't find a decent website with pics before/after to convince me to go for a face-lift so I pick a doctor randomly ,Dr E. and start it with my lips. Long story short I did Silicon 1000 for my lips and laugh lines first in April and second round few days ago He is an artist. I will go back for more. I attached pics B/A

Still happy with the procedure

I got a royal treatment with a celebrity-like results . I'm positively sure everyone who have sat in Dr. Joseph Eric knows what I'm talking about it. I was unhappy the way my face started to drop so thanks to this wonderful website witch I'm so thankful I found Dr Joseph. Even though my English is not great he totally understood what I'll like to have done. So, i got the corners of my mouth lifted,the nasolabial filled and Botox on my forehead and crow's-feet and just a little touch on my nose with Sillicon 1000. I can't tank enough to Dr.J to give me such a natural look and special care with absolutely NO pain. I also like to tank to all doctors and patient for their postings in order for educating us and get better decisions .

To all dear women that are trying to compare their experience and results with others it is not fair because we're not alike. I don't look like myself every day and I don't get injection daily. I believe doctors want to make EVERY single one of us beautiful and happy so we can comeback . I have never been 100% pleased with my results until I met Dr J. but never blamed totally the doc. because i understand there is a risk even I'm not smoking or drinking . If I move the furniture,I get bruised ,if I deal with life problems I get headache .So, after I get injected, off course I expected bruises but have none. I got myself turned off by Dr. J from injecting my lips just because I had a cold sore . I'm sure doctors knows when we need or not some procedures. I'll go back soon to do my lips. I just added 2 more pics (the ugly) the ones that got me to his office. I felt ugly, depressed and needed to fix that. I hope this will help someone.

Here I am updating my review one year later . I'm still happy with my result . I have never experience any side effect or pain during this year. Because of lock of volume in my upper lip (see pic nr 1) I used a crayon to create the illusion of having lips witch sometimes did me a clown look like but it was in my mind better choice than having no lips at all. So first of course I tried restilane and juvaderm . Either the injector ( a doc in Long Island -no name) or the solution were not good for me . I was left with bumps in my lips, anesthetic . I stressed that every time I went back to docs. None were listening. They said it is no bump . One day I read reviews about Dr Joseph Eric in West Orange and decided to derive 1 1/2 to get sillicon injections . Dr J was asking what exactly bothers me. He offered me a mirror and I was able to point the places I'll like to be injected. I cannot say why but I felt so good and calm (never rushed) explaining to him what I'll like my lips and laugh lines to look like. I asked him to inject some sillicon in the 11 lInes formed between my eyebrows. Then he came closer and with the help of a pen he pointed the area where he can and cannot inject. I did not insisted. I trust his professionalism. I am also a kind of person that I like to not put any pressure on others. And I think I make him feel comfortable injecting him. There was all this time in the office his office manager Diana and the two of them makes me feel that I did the right choice going there. I love Dianna . For the lines (11) on my forehead he injected Botox . My lips was showing a sign of beginning of a cold sore and the Dr. refused to inject me that day inviting me back in 2 weeks witch I did. Should I get upset bcuz he didn't want to inject me when I wanted????? Of course NOT. I went back 2 weeks later and got my injections. I left so happy from his office . I wanted to tell every woman in the street about it. If you are looking to improve your lips shape Dr Joseph will help you to achieve your dream. One more think: his office stuff Diana , Barbara and all the girls are AWESOME. They will make you feel special. I testify that this is an honest review and I am not associated in any way with in the office or the dr. I also did nor get any discount for writhing this now was asked to. I just want to thank to the dr&co plus for those that are looking to save money in long run sillicon for lips is safe. Thank you for reading. I gladly answer to any question.

I am writing from my phone and there are two errors

1 I meant to say that I made him feel comfortable injecting ME (not him)
2) I meant to say I was not getting any discount, NOR was asked to write a review

Great review?

i love the last pic. So gorgeous. Before you got silikon 1000 did you consider permalip? Cause I am thinking about going with permalip, but I also like the look of silikon 1000. Cheers.
ZI 9 Jan 2013
Ok . First I'll like to say hello to you. So. I was so tempted to have that permalip when I came across some pics. Then a day latter out of nowhere I had a bad reaction to the food I eat and my lips got so swollen to the point that I was considered to go to ER. Latter that night, I wake up to take pics to show to the store I had the food. Than studying them I realized I look horrible with huge lips. I have a small face. I looked vulgar. I even put lipstick just to get an idea. No no no. Big lips were not for me. So instead of getting mad I saw that situation like a helpful sign from God :-]. Now, thinking, economicallyit make sense to have a permalips for $2500. While my lips were almost if not sharp $4000 . I choose silicon bcuz I was able to control how much I want . Dr Joseph is expert in injecting it. He also injected me with Botox. The effect was visible in 3 days . I felt so beautiful, I hardly wanted to go home. I wanted to be out . Ppl were complimented me , I could not get enough. Was interesting. I wish I could afford to get Botox all the time :-(. Now back to Silicon, it all depend on your face. Some women look gorgeous with big lips. Some looks fake. I wish I could help you. If you have any Q feel free to ask. And good luck with your BBL. Dr Salama is an artist.

ZI 11 Nov 2012

For sure Dr Joseph is an artist. I'll try to update my review but i wanted first to get one more time an injection with sillicon and updated. Thank you for checking on me :-] . Love u

Hi Diana . We met at Dr Eric Joseph office. I would like to thank you all for the professionalism and seniority you have treated me with . It's been a year since I was there but looking everyday in the mirror and seeing my natural result it is impossible not to thank Dr Eric for it. Keep up the good work . I might see you soon for botax :))

Teryosha , my experience with Sillicon 1000 is 5 stars . But I'm able to say that just because in Dr Joseph does what it is supposed to do, . I have had done sillicon, prior with a different doctor and was not as satisfactory as I wanted. I learned a lesson If I don't feel comfortable in the first 3 min with the doctor, just walk away bcuz that will affect the out come. With the first doc when he sent me at restroom to take off the make-up I wanted to run and forget about it but I was shy, shamed and the money were given I stayed. THE CONCLUSION Just bcuz someone drive a Rolls Royce doesn't make him a better driver. Just bcuz a doc charge a huge amount or has a beautiful office or was trained by the best College or is a board certified doesn't make him a good surgeon. His work might be safe but we need to get aesthetic result too. And I think this is missing to a lot of them . Not all docs have an eye for beauty. That I found at Dr Joseph. He does know where to inject to give you a good result. I don't know if he can give a good face lift but Sillicon and Botox is his best procedures. I will post a new pic to show my result after 1 year. I was tempted to have initial an implant for my lips but after seeing others result I rather paid more for a little by little procedure done with sillicon 1000 but at list I won't look like a porn star My lips looks natural and this I was looking for. I recommended Dr Joseph to all my friends and clients knowing that they will be as happy as I was leaving his office and every time I look in the mirror . Sillicon 1000 is a great product but ONLY in professional trained hands like Dr Eric has.
Teryosha 10 Feb 2012
Thank you for your reply zizi!!! Have you had any pain or what can be considered a reaction at the site? I don't mean at the time (of course I am guessing there is pain at the time) I mean after...long after. I have seen a few complainst that someone had swelling in the bridge of nose / pain or discomfort like throbbing in the area.

Thank you!
ZI 10 Feb 2012
Teryosha, I am the kind of woman that was born happy so for me a little pain there and there is OK. Now, on a serious note , there is no side effects what so ever if it is done by an expert. I did not experienced any of this describe it by you. I am very pleased with my decision and result. I have had done in 2005 my lips with Juvaderm than Restilane and did not like it at all. The only con is the price. $750 for 10 min? I work a week and half for those money.
Teryosha 15 Feb 2012
Thank you zizi for your response and then your additional response. I appreciate your honesty and input. You look beautiful!

I have heard nothing but good things about Dr J. for over a year, and then recently I saw a negative comment and what they said concerned me. Also I heard something else negative from others (not about Dr J) about silikon. But I do know it has to be done slowly.

Thank you so much...again!
Teryosha 9 Feb 2012
zizi i am totally confused...you said you went to Dr Heller 2010 right what did he give you? silikon or some other filler?

Then later to Dr E? So are you saying you will be going back for more to Dr Heller? Please respond.

Ti ochen krasivaya..Udachi!
ZI 10 Feb 2012
Dear Teryosha, I went in 2010 indeed to Dr Heller and have had Sillicon on my lips, and just little on my forehead. The second time went back to Dr Heller and did my second round my lips and chemical peel. In 2011, September, decided to go to see Dr Eric and had Silicon on my lips, laugh lines and nose. Then went back in Oct to Dr Eric Joseph for Botox. I can say that Dr Eric is wonderful and expert in Sillicon and Botox. What women in general don't understand about this Silicon is that it need to be injected over and over little by little until that desired size.I personally read and understood that and I didn't mind to go by this method controlling when I shall stop . Dr Joseph hands are magical He care for his patients and I actually want to go back for Botox :-] . The personal in his office are extremely polite , warm, will make you lose your nervousness. If you have more questions please feel free and ask . I wish you the best

Zizi,
I understand what you're saying..Really, I do. I'm just
commenting on my own experience. I'm happy you
got the results you wanted! Wish I could say the
same.. I'm just very surprised he treated you, as I said
In my earlier post he didn't do the same for me. In all honesty despite
My experience I believe he's Great just not with me..
I had 3 areas injected with ZERO improvements.
;( after traveling 5 1/2 hours to get there and 5 1/2 hours to get
Back, I was so disapointed
HollyDC1971 5 Nov 2011
WOW- I am so shocked Dr Joseph did all of that for you! You looked great before,btw. I went to him as well..I had to push him to inject the areas I felt were bothering me, same concerns as you had. Corner of lip sagging, marionette lines, ( also wanted some in the bridge of my nose) which he wouldn't oblige. Instead he told me I didn't really need anything..Please dont let my profile pic fool you, that's me after getting Juvederm bc I was so unhappy with the results I had gotten from Dr J. I saw zero improvement after swelling went down:(( So, I'm going to check out Dr Heller!
ZI 22 Aug 2010
Thank you Tom . I have seen those information long before I decided I need Silikon What is amazed me is that even some doctors said they have had fixed what Silikon did to some people there are no pics to convince me that this is a bad idea I love my new lips I totally believe that Dr Heller knows what he is doing And I will go back for more
