Self Injecting Juvederm or Hyaluronic Acid (Fillers) - Canada
Ok. We all know already this is not the best idea...
Ok. We all know already this is not the best idea in the world so please, give up the hate mail and comments we as posters have heard it literally one million times. Thx. Did it for the cost effectiveness and that is x2 .8ml syringes rather than the Cosmo (Cosmetic Doc) which charges $500 for only ONE syringe. That's double and I'm slightly... loving it... so I need the extra one. I'm a actress and not a huge one where I can just run off and afford to get surgery on my pout so I have fallen prey to the online Rx Filler ordering since 2010. Plumping my pout helped get me a major role in a film (along with talent) but my lips were mentioned as a nice point to have on camera and this is so not a want anymore, it's a career NEED. It does have some downfalls about self-injection though... Not being a professional and trained might actually make you end up spending more to buy more to inject your own every 4 months because it's not being placed correctly to maximize the results.

The challenge is getting the juvederm to go in smoothly without lumping in balls in your lip. Also it's important after 'making a pass' to massage the juve to even it out better but this is kind of difficult when your a tad bit in pain and doing it on your self. Bad experience? A 'nodule' but but the benefits outweigh the nodules so far. Unless your a Doctor you will never inject perfectly!
Sounds like you have pretty real expectations on what to expect. I would still be too freaked out to try to do it myself, but I am curious, do you just do a tiny, tiny amount at a time to try to prevent the juvederm from lumping into balls?
Thank you for being brave enough to openly admit you self inject, and for showing us your results.
It sounds like overall you are pleased with how it is coming out. Have you had any bad experiences with it, or has it been pretty smooth sailing for you?
