This was my first time ever having anything done to my lips

I feel so ignorant - Do NOT see this doctor for lip injections

As someone who has always had extremely thin lips, I was thrilled when Dr. Anna Avaliani did my injections. I thought I looked so great and that the swollen look would go away. Over time I noticed my injections looked different than other’s and I didn’t understand why. I recently went to another doctor to get my lips touched up and they said they didn’t feel comfortable injecting anything into my upper lip due to the severe upper migration. I just called Dr. Anna Avaliani a few moments ago, explained my situation (expecting the receptionist to offer a dissolver for free) and she said it would cost about $600+ to fix the mistake Dr. Avaliani made. I am lost for words. I paid so much money to have these injections done by a well-known and established doctor in NYC and am absolutely devastated by the results. Looking back on the original photo I posted, I now see it from a completely different perspective. Do you notice the puffiness above my upper lip? That never went away…. and in fact got worse. And they want to charge me $600+ to fix a mistake they made…….. I now have to put lip liner over it to try and make it look like it is part of my lip. I feel uncomfortable writing a negative review like this but hopefully it will keep someone else from making the same mistake I did.

I’m attaching a photo I found online pointing out the same mistake that was done to my lips (this is not my face but simply for reference)

I'm confused... why post a photo of someone else's outcome on your review. How do YOU look?

Happy Customer

This was my first time ever having anything done to my lips and I was incredibly nervous. Dr. Avaliani made me feel calm and the experience was enjoyable and painless. I'm very happy with the results and will be returning in a few months. Would highly recommend!

They look good. How long did they swell/hurt for? Thanks
Thank you! For me the main swelling went away after 2-3 days, the small swelling that lasted a few days after actually looked kind of good and oddly enough I miss it. I did have a small bruise that appeared on the left side of my upper lip but that went away completely after 5 days and I was able to cover it up pretty easily with lipstick
Whts the actual healing time? Whn do thy start looking natural agn post the injections? Pls advice. Thx.
I’ve had my lips done a number of times and I’ve not had the same experience . I was good to go immediately. I’m just wondering why you had that reaction.
