I have been doing a lot of dental and I decided to take a break to do something about my whole mouth area. I am 49 years old and I am a smoker and my whole mouth area looks old, wrinkly and saggy. I spend a fortune on face creams and they plump my face in ways that don't look good but they do get all of my bigger wrinkles plumped out so they're okay.. I feel like I don't even have an upper lip in most photos taken in the past 15 years. Silikon 1000 is a permanent filler so I am about to spend a lot of money to do this forever. Today was my first injection. He says it will take me 5 - 6 appointments to do the whole job. I can quit going anytime I am satisfied though. All he did today is my upper lip which is wrinkled and small. Immediately after he finished my upper lip it looked bigger but not $775 bigger. He told me to go home and massage it every hour until my next appointment. So I have been at home massaging for quite a few hours now and I really like how nice and large my upper lip looks. I am slowly growing a blue bruise mustache up one side of my mouth. I don't know if my lip wrinkles will improve for this but I have been home for about 4 hours now and I really like the size. It is supposed to grow collagen for a few weeks and then maybe get bigger but it might be swollen now and and then shrink too. I don't know. I am hoping for collagen grow big. I am looking foreword to seeing what happens in the next few weeks. Updated on 12 Sep 2019: The bruise has settled in and I am massaging in case the photos make me feel crooked. Looking okay. I wish this was a faster less expensive procedure. He is charging me $775 per appointment which is going to get really expensive after a while. He said 5-6 appointments to do the whole mouth area and then I just hope that's permanent. I like the photos of the girls that had a lot of Silikon in their lips. Hopefully this upper lip gets bigger in the next few weeks by just growing collagen. Its supposed to grow collagen un the next four weeks..
