Restylane: Sitcom-worthy DISASTER!

Not Worth It
Spent: $500 in Seattle, WA

Ok, I didn't understand what I was getting into.  I had one TINY lip line that I hoped could be plumped it.  Instead, I got chimp lips.

The restylane was injected into my upper lip from the INSIDE of my lip (big ouch!)  Massive bruising (maybe a reaction too, who knows?)  Honestly, my lip swelled to stick out past my nose - a total embarassment for about a week, there was absolutely no hiding it.

It lasted about 5 years (I guess if you like the result, this would be a plus) and I now remember my experiment with laughter!

That is what you get for not getting done properly!

yup. That is why this site is helpful. Gives us an opportunity to learn about the potential complications. This high profile doctor came highly recommended. She is now retired.

Thanks for sharing. I'm glad you are able to laugh about it now!
