How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Lump has gone down significantly
It's 3 days post now and the swelling has mostly gone away. I have a bruise but it's on the inside of my lip where he injected from underneath. No one would ever notice it but me. I don't feel like they are as large as I wanted but I did ask him to be conservative since it was my first time. I just wish I had asked for more now! I'm happy that my upper lip appears more naturally symmetrical now though.
Day after side view
Day after and still have a huge lump
I really hope it smooths out soon and it's just swelling at the injection site. I want to massage it but it still hurts right now. No bruising yet though so that's good, I think the Arnica really works for that! I just had it injected in my top lip. It was painless after they injected me with lidocaine on the inside of my top lip (which honestly wasn't painful either). The rest of the siringe was put in my nose (I may do a separate review for that). My nose hurts way worse than my lips right now. It feels like I have sinus pressure and it's given me a constant headache in the sinus area since last night. My nose is also visibly swollen to me, but no one at work as said anything about my nose or lips. I also had the spider veins zapped while I was there (figured might as well do it all at once). That was worse than the injections, it felt like a sharp pinch. Today my skin is red and angry but I think I hide it ok with makeup.
Provider Review
Dr. Niamtu
I chose Dr. Niamtu because he has the most experience of any plastic surgeon in Virginia with fillers and he displays tons of before and after pictures on his website. I was very nervous my first time having anything done and he made it quick and painless!
