I have had Restylane injected in my top lip about 3 or 4 times now over the years, 0.5ml each time. The first time I had it done, my lip swelled up huge, but it has swelled less and less each time since. A few hours after the injection the swelling will start to go down and it will reach a point that I am very happy with...but then it will go down even more and I end up wishing my lips were bigger. I have been tossing up between getting 1ml of Restylane...0.8ml in the top and the rest in the bottom lip...but I'm not 100% sure. I'm going back in 3 weeks and I am leaning towards going for 0.8 of Juvederm. I'm hoping that this will give me the look that I want. I want full lips but I don't want a trout pout. What would you guys go for? Thanks! ;)

This is just my opinion, so take it for what it's worth... You already have naturally full lips that in my opinion, don't need any augmentation. The pictures that you posted of the lips that you like look very fake and distorted to me - they look like they've been injected.

I agree, you have very natural looking lips. However, I would go w/ 1ml to get the achieved look.

I agree! You have beautiful lips that most women would kill for. Enhance them with lip gloss or other over the counter stuff to keep them soft and supple. They are gorgeous!

THe lips posted look HORRIBLE AND OVERDONE..I so wish women would stop thinking that distortion is an attractive thing. Too full lips don't add to beauty, unless you have the facial structure to support them.
