Wanted a Tad More Volume to Dry Lips - Denver, CO

So my doctor was doing a promotion a few months ago and i locked in his intro price which is $100 less than the normal cost and after having a Profractional I was ready to get my lips on. I've been wanting to do a filler on my lips for 2 yrs, but wasn't sure since nothing had been specifically approved for lip injections until R-Silk came out. This made me fell better and also of course having a doctor that is fantastic in general from lasers to Dysport & fillers. I will keep up dating as I've just go this, so I'm still Swollen and have the duck face going on. Well according to my hubs I look like a Grouper fish ATM.. No keep in mind swelling can last for up to 5 days and not to mention I did do some drinking 4 hrs later and talked my mouth off and didn't ice my lips. Also I didn't stop taking my Omega's and I literally eat 2 cloves of raw garlic in my smoothy blend for health purposes & these are major blood thinners. Well woke up this morning with puffy grouper lips.

Procedure itself - My doctor numbed me w 2 shots on upper & 2 on bottom, they didn't really hurt when needle was going in, but felt like a prick when the needle was pulled out each time. He waited about 5-10 minutes for numbness shot to sink in then had several pricks on both top and bottom and Literally I felt only 2-3 pricks and it was like a small minor pitch or scratch. It was like Nothing and less pricking and pain than any fillers or botox around my eyes that's for sure. If you don't have a high pain tolerance, You could soo do this procedure if the fear of pain is what keeps you from this.

So this is 2 days later and exactly 49 hrs later and yesterday I iced it 3 times, not for long though and then sucked on ice for a couple minutes 3 hrs ago and it's seems to be healing nicely. I still feel the swollen parts in my lips when I lightly bite down on my lips, but I feel it going away. Last Night I bough Quercetin with bromelain for swelling and been doubling the dose, since I've used it for bruising and swelling in the past and it has worked. I took a double does last night and woke up with my lips with almost no bruising in the middle and swelling drastically down. I took another dose about an hour before this picture so that hasn't affected it until probably 7 hrs I will see affects more. here are 2 more pics.
