ORIGINAL POST

I can't tell what part is swelling or what part is...

I can't tell what part is swelling or what part is product. I Obviously have lots of bruising but I'm so embarrassed if this is the final look(with exception of discoloration). I had one syringe injected and it was my first time. Im considering having hyraluronidase injected asap unless someone can say otherwise. I'm so embarressed and have been crying a lot today. Hopefully one of you docs can help with you opinion on what's happening with my final look. Thank you so much ahead of time. By the way this was done at a medspa.

It takes ywo weeks to calm down if this is the first time you will be like this for a week dont worry

It will be ok, most of lit looks like swelling but you should go back to your injector asap and have them take a look. Looks like maybe you have some small lumps that need to be massaged out. It will be ok!!!!

honestly... i think they look great! you have to gived it more time for them to settle... about 2 weeks. did u have full lips to begin with? did he only put it in the upper lip?

usually takes 2-3 days after treatment for swelling to go down. How's it looking today? I work at a dermatologist's office and results shouldn't look like this.

I am an expereinecd Cosmetic nurse & this looks like normal bruising & subseqeunt swelling which can happen so easily in the lips as lots of blood vessels...can happen in hands on any injector ...avoid alcohol, get some cream from chemist to help resduce swelling but time best thing..you wait, in a week or two will be looking better.

Second Review.

So I called out of work today because I was to embarsressed with how I look so far. Like I said it not the bruising that's hard on me but the puffiness of my top lip. I'm afraid that I'm freakishly uneven. Also the couple friends and family that know I did this, when they see me in person and I ask what they think they say it looks "weird" or that "I shouldn't have done it"

From what I can see of you, I think after the swelling goes down you will be just as pretty

Do NOT listen to other people. They will only make you more upset. By NO means does it look weird. Yes, you have a bit of swelling but it is NOT at all CRAZY bad. It is a TAD swollen. Do not let anyone upset you. It will be a short term issue I promise. Your latest photos look better.

I think this too! I've had swelling like that before and it ends up fine.

I had this exact thing happen my first time. I looked like I had been punched in the mouth. Some injectors are not very gentle and that can result in a lot of bruising and swelling. I was lucky that I am a stay at home mom but it was at least a week before I felt like I could go in public. In the meantime, go and get the GloMinerals concealer that has 2 shades in it. I did this and used a brush to apply to apply the darker part on my lip and the lighter one on the skin around my mouth and face. Take it with you everywhere so you can touch up as needed. This helped me out considerably. I know it is difficult but try to hold off on the hyaluronidase until you have given it 2 weeks before you decide. I ultimately ended up liking it but it took me a month before it really settled down and I got the true result. My heart goes out to you! Best of luck!!

Wow u had really full lips to begin with, lucky!! I wld still give them 2 weeks to settle down. Then make your decision. I have gotten mine done in the past and after the swelling went down I cld hardly tell I even had them done...

You looked perfect BEFORE the injections! You have beautiful full lips....
April 1, 2015
Looks great! I had it done like you & it hurt for almost a week. I got less the next time & had a fast recovery...but your lips look good.

You had amazing lips.... I just did it but I'm 63.... Don't start on these things when your young and beautiful they're addictive and some older women look freakish from so many procedures. Your young and beautiful.....just rock that.
