Lip Filler - Love It!! - Boston, MA

I've always wanted to try a lip filler on my top...
WORTH IT$300
I've always wanted to try a lip filler on my top lip because its soo thin and the distance between my nose and lip seems large to me. I had a previous breast augmentation with Dr. Darrow so I trust him completely with any future procedures. Dr. Darrow was excellent in explaining the different fillers and what to expect after the injections which put my mind at ease, since I was a little nervous. I didn't know how I would like it so to be on the safe side we put .5cc of restylane in my top lip. I barely felt a thing. I did have some significant bruising and a bit of swelling afterwards but I'm really enjoying the results. Its such a subtle change but makes a big difference in balancing out my features. I'm curious to know how long it will last but I do believe I will be continuing with the fillers :) Love it!

with a rebel yell she cried more more more
I scheduled another lip filler appointment with Dr. Darrow last week as I felt more comfortable putting more in since my initial "trial." We put .5cc of restylane in my top lip with a tiny bit left over for my bottom. I really am enjoying the fillers, I do think my body metabolizes it quickly and will ask what other options I have for a longer lasting lip. Other wise it feels fine, I swelled again about 10 hours after the treatment which lasted till the next day. No bruising at all this time :)

your lips look perfect! So how much the first time and how much was the cost? How much the second and cost? Total & cost? (sorry to be a pain)

4th treatment
I had a 4th injection of .5cc restylane on wednesday. I do find that I go through it quickly so may consider switching to a longer lasting product. As always dr darrow is great, I had the usual 12 hour swelling and a good bruise but they look and feel great.

Have you ever experienced bumps on the inside of your lips ? I had 1cc injected one week ago and am happy with how they look (although top could be bigger) but I have bumps on the inside of my lip :( yours look amazing !

Hey! yes bumps are normal. Is it only when you smile? I have some bumps but they are further in the lip more towards the middle, its just the product and where they placed it to give volume. You could massage a bit and see if that helps spread the product around. But best to check with your injector :)

Hi ! Thank you for your input. My bumps have gone down significantly , and you can really only feel them to the touch so it's not a huge deal. Wish there was a way to avoid it though. Going to call to make an appt for next week ! I need more.

It does look really nice! Did the doctor do the injections himself or does he have an "injector" on staff? Thanks for sharing!
Fabulous!
