I was very lucky, I have a fairly high pain threshold and it didn't upset me or hurt that much. I put a topical numbing cream on for an hour before and applied it thickly, and re applied it every 15 mins and around the lip edge. No bruising, just a bit tender afterwards. However, I hear some people freak out at it, but they should consider dental blocks if they cant tolerate pain easily.
The fullness goes down after a week or two, but this is normal with fillers.
Also, tell the person doing it exactly what you want and where to inject it. They might want to give you a bigger upper lip otherwise, and that looks unatural (I told mine to balance my lip).
I suggest people read up about the different fillers on the net and from my research, always avoid anything permanent or semi permanent- its not natural to the body, so common sense says it might cause problems!
