Temp fillers do not last as long in the lips as they do in other areas. That is because the lips have so much movement and pressure applied to them daily. Most people feel Juvederm lasts longer than Resty but still it won't last as long in lips as other areas.
Personally, I think the lips in the photos above look too big. But some of that is probably swelling. If 1/2 syringe gave those results, if I were her I'd save my money and not go through the pain and risk since her lips must be full already.
I think it may not be entirely the injector's fault. I consulted with several doctors and none of them felt Juve or another temporary filler could necessarily fill my acne scars. They said often the filler will create a donut affect around the scar and make it look worse. I did eventually have Resty done to an area and really liked it for the most part but it is a gamble. I haven't done it again because I think the results can be a little unpredictable. Good thing is it is temporary
Sharon, I too live in West Palm and am considering lipo to my ab area. Would you please email me? I do not want to undergo surgery by the same doctor that has caused you the bad result. Thank you.
I also ended up with a noticeable vericose-looking vein on one of my temples after having my crow's feet injected with Botox. The blue vein became visible right after the Botox because the doctor damaged it with the needle. It has been a year and it has not improved. It is probably permanent unless I have the vein treated. Of course, the doctor brushed it off and could not have cared less. I now have a permanent blue vein that on my temple.
