Love your results! Do you know how much dr used?

My doc used 1 vial. Wanted to be sure I liked results with one before I tried more than that!

Will you keep posting updates so we know how long it lasts? You look great! Was it "plain" Juvaderm or one of the "variations"? Thanks!

Way late on response but I get about a full year + 1 month out of it. I just had another round done this week and I could have gone a little longer! Tried Juvederm Refyne this time which may last even longer.

Sorry for potato quality but I love my lips! No duck lips or weird outward pockets of filler on profile. I will post a before and after smile photo and profile photo too when I have some makeup on so it's more in sync with before. They look so natural not a single person (even close family) has noticed. For the first two days back to work I took opportunity to try fun lipstick colors! Now no need because bruising is gone.

Ignore the post glycolic peel redness face (on treatments for hyperpigmentatio now cystic acne) and Kybella swelling compression garment I'm trying in the photo.

Amazing results!!!! Beautiful! I'm doing this next month. Anything I should be prepared for?

My service provider really helped set the expectations but I read a couple things online recently that could have helped had I known beforehand.

1. Avoid taking Aspirin or Ibuprofen or anything that may thin your blood a few days before your visit. This may cause extra bruising.
2. Have petroleum jelly on hand for post-procedure (really recommended) and if your provider does not provide an icepack (mine did) then grab a small portable one for the day after.
3. Have fun lipstick colors ready for you in case you bruise. Luckily, I did not have to go out in the public for 48 hours after my procedure so it was not a big deal for me. After 48 hours I was fine (your mileage may vary!)
4. Go smaller at first! Better safe than sorry. You can always add more later but it is hard to take away.

I cannot wait to see your results!
