Lip Augmentation-restalyne - Orange, CA

It looks a bit overly plump, but that could just be residual swelling.

MeganP the next day after i got it done... Lucidity I thought they were huge after I left the dr office.. But now 3 days later it has gone down alot! I still have a bit of swelling but fading away...

I've just had my lips slightly plumped along the outline and the bruising sure is ugly, it's been a week and finally the discoloration is disappearing. Surprising how long it takes for the bruising and painful bits to return to normal - I had no idea. Your lips look great.

Looks great! Don't see any injection site bubbles at all. Do you have a photo of what your bottom lip looked like before any enhancement at all? Also: how often do you have to "refill"/do you notice the Restylane fade away? Thanks again!

Hi - thanks for sharing your experience. I am in Orange also and I am looking to enhance my lips and not sure if this is a good choice because I am so scared in putting something into my lips/face. Can I ask you were you went? Also, I see you paid $500 - I came across a Groupon deal for Restylane for only $99 and a $200 value - I am just wondering if this is the same thing you got and why the difference in price? Sorry for all the questions... I am just wanting to make the right decision..

Have you ever had lumps or bumps from the restalyne? Does it really all go away and how long does it last? I am getting it done but will only go for 0.3ml because I don't want anything obvious

So instead of tanning, now girls can change how they look permanently and will never be satisfied. Although I have always been against plastic surgery because you can always tell when a girl is waking around with fillers, but I have always wanted to even out my top lip. My lips are naturally plump, but my top lip is a bit smaller than my bottom lip and I have wanted a minimal lift. I have been doing a lot of research as well, the idea is still creepy to me. You look very young as well, braces and all...do your parents approve?

Braces do not indicate that someone is underage. Braces are a procedure used for straightening teeth. Adults everywhere have braces. Not everyone's parents were able to afford braces for their children, thus...adults walking around in braces. About the fillers: You said you can always tell when girls are walking around with fillers. Correction: Doctors/Injectors with little education, experience, and/or little consideration and respect for their work create those women you see walking around with fillers that are obvious. If you were to see me, you wouldn't know I had fillers and botox. I am only 29, but I have had a rough decade behind me that left me looking drained, angry, and tired all the time. I did my research, read reviews, and found a very well reviewed doctor. I now look like I did 10 years ago, and I am walking taller, wearing less makeup, and I smile a lot more because the angry looking lines are gone. I can even see better because my eyes are brighter from the slight lift filler provided. My lips do not look fake, but they are fuller. Lipstick is way more fun to wear now! All in all it boils down to this: Be in a good place emotionally in your life. Think about it for at least a few months. Look at old photos, see where you lost volume or what you are looking to achieve. Find and compare reviews specific to the doctor/injector themselves in your area. Look for reviews from people who have had similar procedures/corrections to what you are looking into. Be prepared to take care of your investment and be realistic. If your injector thinks you don't need certain things you may feel you are looking for, listen to them and realize that this is a sign of a quality doctor. You don't want one putting more than you need and making you look crazy just so they can make more $$$ Good luck
