I have spent over $3,000 on lip fillers. I started off with Restylane and had 3cc injected over a period of 2 months. After I noticed that Restylane wasn't working, I went to another doctor, and she injected Perlane into my lips. I have had 2cc of that injected. I swell for about 2 days, and once the swelling is gone, there are no results! I have taken before and after photos, so it isn't that I am becoming accustomed to seeing myself with larger lips and thinking there isn't a difference.
