My upper lip was so small (and with age related "...
My upper lip was so small (and with age related " smoking" lines) that whenever I smiled it just disappeared. I have high, prominent cheekbones and defined smiles lines on each side of my mouth (which I like) so my tiny mouth gave me the strange appearance of having no teeth at all. Also the folds along each side of my nose made long shadows that made my otherwise lovely face look drawn and sad. After looking at some pretty amazing pictures of Juvederm for lip enhancement and the lines, I was determined.
I posted no pics because I think there are enough out there to help us make a decision but also drive us crazy with worry !
KEY TIPS gleaned from my own experience:
1. Go with the total understanding that your body is unique in all ways and it will need different things and it will respond in different ways to this procedure. Set your expectations accordingly!
Start small.You can always add more.
2. Choose you Dr. carefully. Spend the extra money to go to someone who is really well versed in fillers and injecting and who you really feel good with. The best are those Docs who you tell you not only what the benefits are but what the limitations might be. This stuff is pretty damn great, but it's not perfect all the time. Also, get the numbing cream. It helps you not wiggle or jump in your seat which can bump the Doc.
3. Also, go alone to your own procedure! I have read so many reviews on here about people going with friends for support and " ending up getting it too!" and being really unhappy or having a bad experience. If you are really are nervous, take a friend but make sure this appointment is about YOU! This is your face! Take it seriously.
4. Like #1, your body is unique: swelling, bruising, odd shapes, lumps and bumps and uneven or distinct changes will vary from person to person post procedure. It REALLY ( REALLY) takes at least 14 days for your lips to get settled, even out etc. Docs or friends who tell you otherwise are only setting you up for freak outs! Ride out the changes and inconsistencies as you heal. Regular icing, oral Arnica and not touching your face will really help.
My lip ( .6cc of 1 syringe) went through so many stages and it lasted 14 days!! I suffered the roller coaster of worry like many others and I looked at millions of pics of post procedure as well. It didn't help. By the time I had my two week follow up however, my top lip was perfect. I decided to have my bottom lip done (.6cc) then. The swelling and bruising experience in this case was totally different! More bruising and much less swelling and hardness and no soreness. I am now day four and it all looks pretty good!
Nasolabial folds (.2 cc each side) are gone as well!
Good luck!
