Lip Fillers 5cc over 3 years

So far I have had 3ccs in my lips, spread across3 x 1cc doses. The first 1cc was January 2017 followed by 1cc in May 2017 and another top up in November 2017. I absolutely love the results and would reccomend if you are wanting to dramatically increase the volume of 1 or both lips that you spread out the doses over at least 6 months. This will give you time to adjust to the new shape of your lips and the volume increase will appear more subtle.
I’ve also had Botox in my top lip, this “rolls” your lip up and out to increase the volume of the lip. This is amazing if your upper lip still appears small even after several ccs of filler. This might also be a good alternative for people with decent sized lips who are simply looking for a boost. It’s much cheaper than filler and gives a great result.
The pain is not bad, I don’t get any numbing other than a bit of numbing cream. The filler contains a numbing agent so after the first couple of injections you won’t feel much. It’s best to relax and definitely make sure you have nothing on that night and if it’s your first time clear your schedule for the following day too as your lips will feel huge and probably a bit swollen and sore. The pain goes down after 1-2 days. On my 3rd session I had barely any swelling or pain. I think the body learns what’s coming! There are different methods of injecting, so far I have been to 3 different practitioners, all of which were great but all had different methods. “Pillows” of filler add shape to your lips and make them look more natural , “posting” is a type of injection which adds structure to the lips. I’ve just had this done to balance out my lip asymmetry. You can see my transformation in the pics attached, feel free to ask questions!
