Love them! There are small irregularities, but that is to be expected. I'm ok with it, and I can't wait to get more in a few months.

Cheers!

You look beautiful! Have you had close ones comment on your results? I had my injections about 24 hours ago and my lips are still swollen and bruised. Did you ice it immediately after??

Thanks for sharing, your results are fabulous

I have to be honest... I didn't ice them as much as I was supposed to. I think you should ice them every hour for 10 minutes or so. Did you post pictures?
December 18, 2015
Yes, but I used juvederm, so I'm over in that section. They gave me a cold pack that wasn't frozen, so I didn't ice it at all until 4-5 hours post injection :(
Your results are so good! Did you choose restylane or was that your Dr.'s choice?

I chose Restylane because I think Juvederm is too aggressive for me. I always ended up bruised and I didn't like it at all. Restylane is something that my PS prefers, I think... But he does everything...

oh wow I didn't know juvederm was considered more agressive. Well I definitely am bruised, so perhaps that is just unavoidable with this treatment. I guess I'll try Restalyne next time!

I'm really not sure if Juvederm is more aggressive or not. I just didn't have a good experience and good results with it. I might try it again in the future, but I really like Restylane, and it makes my lips very soft.

Thank you! Your results with Voluma are amazing!! Love it! I also considered it, but for some reason I decided not to do it.

OK sorry to keep asking you things, but was this the first time you had restylane in your lips? How long did juvederm last for you?

Do people notice or say anything? I'm still in that post injection phase so I feel super conscious and not yet comfortable with my new lips. You totally own yours and look like it was meant to be like that!

No worries! This is my first time I had Restylane in my lips, yes. And I love it! Juvederm lasted me for a looong time, I would say... I had poor injector for the very first time, and it was one horrible experience. Maybe 6 months or so... I got Juvederm Ultra X whatever you call it, and that one lasts even longer.

People noticed it for the first month or so. A few weeks I would say. And then everything goes back to normal, but your lips are still a bit fuller.

I don't mind if people see the difference. That's what you payed for... I think... It's the way I see every change. I do it for myself, and if I like it, I don't care... I'm comfortable with the change, and especially if I have good results, even better!

Don't worry! Swelling will come down sooner than you think! Next week you are going to love them!
