I've always had a naturally full bottom lip, but my top lip was on the thinner side and I wanted to balance them out, giving a natural yet pouty look. Emily Browning's lips are my inspiration. I had a cool pack for my lips before we began. I had juvederm injected (I think ultra xc). My experience was great! They did not hurt as much as I thought they would, and the swelling wasn't too bad - I avoided going out for about 4 days, but after that was fine, and I would say swelling lasted 2 weeks total. I'm so happy with the results, the professionalism of the staff and the skilled hand of Dr. Zogg. I will be back for sure, when the product eventually dissolves!
