More Worth It Than I Expected It to Be

Being stuck in between whether or not to make a change in your appearance is tough. What i thought was even more difficult was the possibility of complications, lack of trust in a professional, fear of disliking the change, etc. The list is a long one.
I went through a long time of being unsure of what to do, as lip filler would be my first step into anything. I had gone a long time not liking my lip size and shape. I read a lot about both sides on physical alterations, and i put off any action on it for a few years before i finally brought it up with my fiance.
He is very against anything changing. He instantly thinks of the celebrities that take it way too far. So with that in mind, i called a few places just to see how i would feel about making an appointment.
The first few offices i called were bigger offices, and the person on the other line did not impress me. After hearing that a doctor would not be the one i would be seeing for the filler appointment, i promptly lost interest in the office.
It took a few more calls before i made an appointment with anyone. I ended up calling Florida Cosmetic Surgery Center with Dr. Ward. The person on the other line was fantastic. Like, the nicest and most likeable person. She still works there, and if you decide to call I'm sure you'll realize that they're all amazing. She calmed my nerves, and explained how they work before i made an appointment for the following week.
The day i went in, i was still unsure whether i wanted to go through with it. I do a lot of research before i do anything, and after meeting Dr. Ward i was very happy to see that he, of course, could put my knowledge in the field to shame.
After a long talk, i decided to go through with it. He gave me some numbing cream, i pretty much drooled on myself for half an hour, and they came in.
I'm not great with anything getting close to my mouth, but it wasn't too painful. A few sharp pricks here and there. It's a weird feeling, and all of my nervousness made me sick afterward, but it was worth it.
Now i have had it done several times since then. The date i put on the review was the most recent. Each time has been at the same place, with the same doctor, and i have never had a bad experience. I was never pressured into doing anything, and was actually talked out of several thoughts i had. He truly has the best interest of your personal look in mind. (I have had other things done there as well. All 5 stars.) If you're thinking about going through with fillers i works definitely recommend it.
One thing to note is that, for me at least, this was not a super obvious change after the first one i did. It definitely made a difference, but it was a gradual build over time. The before and after in the pictures is after multiple injections. I look at it as an investment.
It ended up not being a scary and forever changing experience. It was, however, something that i will never regret, and plan to continue throughout my life. It helped with all of the concerns i once had. I don't feel the need to go bigger, or do more or better. (This was a concern EVERYONE had for some reason.) I know when is enough or if something is too much. This isn't a button you can't go back on later.
So if you're interested in starting something to start with, have your own personal reasons, or just want a casual change, i definitely recommend lip fillers with juvederm. I also 5 star reccomend Dr. Ward in Altamonte Springs FL. He has been amazing with everything i have done there.
