I had fat transfer to my lips in 1996 (different doctor). That was a huge waste of money, VERY painful and very traumatic. At the time it was $2500 . After taking 6 months to heal, my body absorbed all 100% of the fat transfer. I was left with nothing. Jump ahead to 2016 and my silly daughter and husband call me "Little Frowny Face" because my lips are so thin and turned down..that it looks...
I went to Dr. Richards to get a juvederm on my lips. I explained to him about my lip wrinkles and how I wanted to get rid of them, but didn't want my lips too big. He understood my point and gave me the result I wanted. Now my lip wrinkles are definitely a lot less noticeable. He also answered all my questions and made my first juvederm experience a pleasant one.
I have always wanted fuller lips but was scared of duck lips. I finally went through with it and am so glad I did! The Dr used 1ml of juvederm, and the procedure was fairly easy, with a few painful moments but nothing intolerable. They were a bit swollen for about a week and I thought they might be too big, but they have settled down nicely and are just perfect. So happy I did it!
