Oh yah... I wanted to add... Despite having fuller lips like I wanted. My friends and family kind ofthought I was crazy! My friends had mixed opinions and my mom wasn't too pleased. She was the one who told me it was "like having a bad haircut, it will only last a little while". HAHA thanks mom. I guess they didn't remember how my lips were before! non existent and with smoker lines and I am not even a smoker!!! # Tooyoung for this!

They did a great job making me comfortable during my procedure, especially with me passing out during. The owner came in and personally sat with me during the procedure, she was very nice! The person performing the procedure did a great job, she told me exactly what she was doing and what to expect. I definitely plan to go back as long as all stays well :) Okay they were very friendly when I went in but then when I went back because I was not completely pleased, the injector did not seem to listen to my concerns. She kept repeating that she had provided me with possible side effects and that the swelling will go down after a few weeks. Despite the fact I had stated several times that I was already four weeks out! Her technique/ outcome wasn't awful or anything, it would have been kind if she addressed my concerns a little more.

Your pics look great really but in a few weeks if you are still stressing about how it looks just have a Dr do a "little" of the enzyme (I had to talk my dr into doing way less than he thought we should at first, he's pretty much happy to try anything that won't hurt me so we did it and on the one side I needed no more after that) and I think you would be happy with the result. Any "natural" lines, etc. are probably less stressful than something unnatural (my opinion, I have loss of volume in one little spot above my top lip that is now back but I don't even think about it vs. the crazy duck lips I had going). And, yes, God love our family for giving us unsolicited opinions on our looks (my Mom had a similar reaction despite the fact she needs her teeth whitened and a good highlight - ha!). Good luck!!!

Still not very happy with them, the bump above the right side of my lip is still there. My top lip is more full than my bottom. Still waiting for this to disappear :/ pictures don't show it otherwise I would post. My right side still droops when I talk, YAY How is everything going for you?

Well that stinks, sorry to hear that. I am going to do another round of Hyaluronidase, I swear Juviderm is hard to get rid of. I got the Juvi in late Jan and I swear, if I hadn't done the Hyaluronidase none of it would have been absorbed as I still have enough in my lips that it bothers me most days (some days it isn't as swollen, so weird). It has been 7 months now!! My dr doesn't charge me for the dissolver so I figure it won't hurt. They are still WAY better than they were though. Hope yours improves soon! :-)

Hi, is you problem gone away on the upper part of the lip? İs it better now? It's been nearly the 5 months after injections. I hope it dissolved and you are happy now.

I still have the filler that migrated above the lip which you can see in certain lighting. Read below about my experience on a second opinion and how he did not recommend use of the enzyme to take it down. I'm just dealing with it .. It seems to be coming down a bit. I will post pre and post ... Previously I had a wrinkle abovey lip there which I don't necessarily want back .. Which could reappear following the enzyme. I like the fuller lips but not sold on the shape and outcome :/. Hope this helps

How are your lips doing? Did the Juvi finally get absorbed to the point where it isn't bothering you on the one side any longer?
