Juvederm Volbella - relaxed lips comparison shot, one day post treatment
WORTH IT$10,992
So ladies... I'm sorry I didn't take a better before shot that focused on my lips at rest before I had this treatment, but here's something of a comparison shot so I hope it sort of conveys the result.
So the lower photo is one day after injecting 1ml of Juvederm Volbella predominantly into the upper lip. You can see the two bruises underneath my lower lip where I had a small amount injected into it as well. As you can see, I did not bother to put any makeup on so this is pretty raw - go easy on me! I realise it's not the most flattering photo on earth. Lips, it turns out, are not easy to photograph well!
Anyhoosies, hope this helps anyone who is interested in fillers.

Hello!!! I've just read your whole story and I must say u look fantastic! We are built very similarly and I'm getting natrelle inspira smooth moderates (270cc) on Wednesday . Obviously, I'm freaking out at this point! I could read through every single comment on here, but wondered exactly which type of implant u received?
All the best!!! RK

Bonus Round #2! Filler in lips for vertical lip lines & added volume
Hi gorgeous girls,
Just a quick note in case anyone is interested... I had 1ml of Juvederm Volbella injected into my upper lip (a tiny touch of it was also injected to my lower lip) today and I am soooo thrilled to bits with the results. My separate review of Volbella will be published in the next 24 hours, but in a nutshell:
I had previously tried Botox to eliminate my lip lines with absolutely no success, so I finally decided to dip my toes into the filler pool, so to speak. The first couple of injections were a little painful, but as Volbella has a local anaesthetic in it it is smooth sailing by about injection number four.
For anyone new to the filler game (like me), Volbella is one of Juvederm's softer fillers, so my lips do not feel at all hard, lumpy or weird. It's also designed for conservative results; there is very little chance of ending up with a trout pout with this product.
Oh, haven't yet taken a pic of my lips when not pursed, but they look really nice, just a little fuller. And for me to be saying something on my own body looks good... well... you guys must know me well enough by now to know I find that quite challenging sometimes! I will take a pic when I am not completely exhausted and can be bothered to put a bit of lippy on!
Once again, I am a very happy camper! Any questions at all, please do ask away.
Peace and love angels,
:) xoB.

I've been toying with the idea of getting filler although I've been on the Botox bandwagon for a couple years now. Love your results, very natural-you only better! (Haha I sound like the commercial). You look awesome :)
December 18, 2015
LOL I sound like the commercial too! I reckon I've toyed with the idea of filler for a few years now and I have to admit I tried to avoid it and thought Botox would fix everything but alas, although it is a little bit of magic it can't quite do it all. I was pretty nervous to actually press the go button on filler - it's expensive, I did not want duck lips and I just had some reservations about it generally for no concrete reason. Anyway... I am so glad I did it because I didn't realise (couldn't have) how much I would like the results. Yet again - right surgeon, right time, right treatment. My vote is go for it, see how you like it and if you don't like it, it'll be out of your system in a few months. Happy days! :) xo
December 18, 2015
Wow look at that!! You look amazing, and it is just a subtle but yet obvious difference. I really like what it's done to you :) I am not a huge fan of needles so I fear I will stay away from this for at least a little while lol!
December 18, 2015
Thank you honey! Well said, that's exactly what it looks like - subtle but noticeable. Oh god - if you really don't like needles this is probably not a procedure to play around with! I have no problems with needles at all but I admit the first few stung like a mo fo. Besides which, if not for the lines around my lips bothering me so much I wouldn't have done this - but now I'm really glad I did because it's nice for me to have slightly fuller lips. But definitely not something to do if you don't specifically want to. You are gorgeous just the way you are. :)
December 19, 2015
Wow those lips look fantastic! What a difference... How long does it last?
December 19, 2015
thanks Gabs! Lasts three months (it's meant to anyway) but we will see. It turns out that metabolism is an important factor in how long injectables are effective for, including Botox. So considering here we all are... on the skinny minny boob forum, all with pretty speedy metabolisms... any one of us might see results dwindle sooner than they ought. So I'll let you know how I go! The experiment continues!! :)
December 23, 2015
ohh great. im very interesting in that filler, my lips are similar to yours and i dont want too much out like a duck so you recommend to have 1ml and my issue is with the top one as well. pls post some more result pic. ahhh also how long are they going to last? how often do you have to have them done?
January 16, 2017
Are you still getting the filler or botox? Ilike how you did not end up with dick lips! Lol.

Comms back up (hopefully notifications fixed and no more problems)
thanks for putting up with what must have seemed like I was ignoring you ladies.... so sorry about that. I think I've sorted the problem with my notifications so fingers crossed for no more troubles on that front. Happy Friday!! :) xo
Oh I'm getting my second IPL next week, kinda wish I had scheduled it for after the holidays because I really had to cover up my chest for a while after the first treatment. Then I read some horrifying reviews and now I'm scared to get the second treatment done! (I did have a great result so far...).
I love that it is hardly noticeable though - last thing I would want is for everyone to be like "omg, look at your lips!" Conservative PS pays off once again :)
I'm excited for you to have your second IPL session, although I understand that it's not perfect timing with the holidays and all.
I must say, after I posted my Juvederm Volbella review up popped about a hundred horror stories which I was not expecting. However, my results are good and I honestly have not one problem. I think you should go on your own previous experience with IPL and not read the horror stories you might have come across. You know (and I know), that you had great results after just one treatment, so there is no rational, logical reason to worry about doing round two (though I understand your concerns about the timing). Still, I say go for it... it's cold over there so hiding your chest is pretty easy (It's frickin 100 degrees here and the state I live in is literally on fire). Let me know where you are at with your decision to keep the current appointment date - you could push it to after the holidays if it made you feel more comfortable :)
You're right it is cold here, 50* (California cold) so I'll probably be wearing a scarf anyway during Christmas.
I'm sorry your state is on fire! That will be us next summer if the drought persists. I'm so glad that you got such a great results with your lips!
Oh dude - 50 degrees is pretty darn chilly. Brrrr. I have to be honest I do not miss that weather atm. Talk to me again in a couple of weeks when it's been over 100 here for weeks at a time... I'll probably be begging for a flight to anywhere!!
Yes didn't you guys have a couple of really bad fire seasons over the past couple of years? Isn't it terrible. It's even worse here and this global drought just keeps on. So bad.
Anyhoo! Back to lips and IPL! Can I tell you, now that the swelling has gone down and the bruising has gone (thank you Hirudoid ointment) I am so in love with them! I really wasn't sure I would be down with lip fillers but such a great result. I can make kissy kissy faces and have no lines! love it. LOVE.
Good luck with the IPL round 2! I look forward to seeing how it went. :)
