Looking better!:) but I can see lumps inside your lip Near your gum when smiling that's the only thing if want to change of I were you:) Have you been back to the dr to ask their advice? I would ask them to massage it for you maybe? Or go to someone else if you would feel more comfortable

Ps photo three left hand side ( your right) Is what i was talking about

Much better! You're lips were great naturally...but this is going to be nice too. Agree with comment above about getting a second consult to fix the little lump when smiling.
April 3, 2015
without telling the forum who did the procedure, was it a nurse, PA, or doctor? I'm curious to know.
April 3, 2015
Nurse at a medspa.
April 4, 2015
It looks like you have product above your lipline....do you?
April 4, 2015
Yep :( I'm just so disappointed. You're the first to comment about it.

You have nice lips naturally, 1 syringe is a lot for just your lips. I get 1/2 in lip & the rest around my mouth. It will still go down somewhat but not much more.

I live in jax and I'm considering this procedure, I'd like to know what area of town this medspa is located
April 5, 2015
I'll be glad to tell you IF they don't help resolve the issue fairly and quickly. I'm still working all this out with them and am waiting to see the outcome. My posted rating isn't final and I will make it better if the spa is fair. At this point all I want to make me happy is shots of hyraluronidase and it would be nice if they provided some other sort of gesture.

Now I have blisters forming.

Maribass1
First I want to say thank you to everyone who has messaged me so far. I didn't have a chance to write everyone back but if by chance you are reading this I want you to know it was greatly appreciated.
Well now I have a new problem. I have these little clear blisters forming. I have 2 little bumps on my left side and 4 or 5 on the right side. Its kinda hard to see any detail in the pictures but in the last photo where I'm trying to make my lip flat I did this because you can clearly see two mounds on the underside of my top lip. It looks as if it's just a "large" lump on one side and a "small" lump on the other but these lumps are made up of the little "blisters". I can't tell if it's product, a side effect of bruising, or what? Anyone else have this?

I have that too... Just posted a question about it. It is the water around the product. It should be better over time... But I'm tired of it. 3 more weeks to look like a freak. (in my case)
April 2, 2015
Hi I think they will look better in time. Ive had my lip done many times. First few days bruising and puffiness is always the worst. I wish I took pics of before and after like you. That way you would see that it was definety worth it. I would recommend you see a demertolgist who does cosmetic work or a plastic surgeon. Not these spas. These ppl don't have enough experience as injectors. It will get better you will see. :))))))
April 2, 2015
Can you add a photo of your lips when they are relaxed? To see how they look now?
April 2, 2015
Ok, yes.
April 2, 2015
Yes those blisters are normal. You usually can't see them though as they are hidden underneath.
April 7, 2015
are they in fact blisters or the actual filler. I have one inside my lip u can't see it but I always thought it was the filler.
April 2, 2015
Blistering and /or peeling of the lips can occur. Pts can also develop cold sores from having the lips done, if you get any tingling i suggest get on to some antiviral to prevent outbreak or reduce longevity of the attack,
April 3, 2015
It's not coldsores. I almost wish it was just so I would have an answer.

Additional info

It's now the fourth day after my injection. I realized I needed to add some more information about my story: I was injected with 1 syringe of Juvedern Ultra Plus with a greater percentage put into my top lip. ill admit some of the pics of my mouth aren't to bad looking but it must be lighting and angles because most people that I came in contact with today later were asking questions about my lips to other coworkers. I'm welcoming all opinions and thoughts. Thank you guys so much.

Yes the sa Yes the same thing happened to me at work. They stopped after 2 days but I realized I did it for me and I have to be confident because I was very happy with the results. I think they look great. Are you happy and do you think they look good? It's most important how you feel.
March 29, 2015
I always plan on a good week of not having anything planned. I would agree there is still swelling but my injector would use her Finger and LOTS of pressure to smooth the lumps. It makes a huge difference. Also I personally have found.. don't laugh...that Prepration H omit (not cream) take my swelling down quicker lol but it works for me. Keep the updates coming but I would suggest getting the products smoothed out and more even.
March 29, 2015
should say ointment....
March 29, 2015
I had a similar experience. I would recommend gently rubbing the two small lumps to smooth it out. Injectors should know that the bottom lip is supposed to be bigger than the top lip. In fact the top is supposed to be 1/3 to 1/2 of the size of you talk to a plastic surgeon. If you cannot stand the results, there is an antidote shot. I would wait a bit and see if it goes down.
March 29, 2015
Your lips looked SO GREAT before too, wow!!!
March 30, 2015
You are 4 days post. There was trauma to your lips and subsequent inflammation in the form of swelling and bruising. This is a normal response to the treatment. I think you should talk to your doctor first. I can tell you from personal experience that in 2-3 weeks it will look much better. It sucks to have to feel self conscious. My hubby told me my lips looked really bad! It upset me terribly. But now I am so happy I waited before getting it dissolved because my lips look really good. Hope this gives you a little encouragement.
