Can I get lip injections every month (or every other month)? Or should I just get an implant? (photos)

Asked By:missmoofie in Los Angeles, CA

I want my top lip to be the same size as my bottom lip, NOT smaller. I have gotten a half syringe, a full syringe and TWO syringes of filler into my top lip. The look is completely deflated after 1.5 -2 weeks. I don't think my doctors believe me, because I've never gone to a follow up appointment, but if I did, I would show them how small my lips are. I have also considered Permalip. I would gladly pay a doctor to inject my top lip every month, but would they do it?!
