Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I Honestly wanted my lips plumped for as long as I can remember. Reason I didn't do it is because I have seen so many obvious and fake lips jobs. Each to their own, I'm sure some really like that look but I would be mortified if I had that result on my face. I have been so near to do it many times but backed out last minute, I'm such a wimp!! I'm also quite an anxious person so making the decision to do this has been a long time coming...
I went to a cosmetic surgery office which was personally recommended to me for a consultation, everyone made me feel at ease the moment I walked in and I explained that it was a big deal to me and that I was really nervous - it made me feel better to talk about my anxiousness and I sort of relaxed when they reassured me that it was just a consultation and I was under no obligation to do anything today should I not want to. Now in hindsight, I think I had bottled up a lot of anxiety as it actually wasn't such a big deal which I built up In my mind.
I met a coordinator and the doctor. The doctor was so funny and chatty, she made me laugh so much that I forgot to be nervous. Before I knew it she was injecting my lips. It did sting quite a bit. She put almost a full syringe between my top and bottom lips. When I looked in the mirror ( she offered me to look while injecting but I'm far too squeamish for that eeek) when she was done - i was feeling lightheaded and so nervous as the anxiety came back but when I saw the reflection - I just loved my lips! like mine but plumper.
When I got home I was so worried about My husband's reaction as I had not told him,, although he has known I wanted this doing for like ever. He did a double take and said that I looked nice but nothing more.. ahah later he looked at me again and he said You did your lips didn't you?! We have been together for 15 years so he knows my face better than anyone so I knew I could not fool him. He said he actually liked it although he had not been wanting me to do it. They feel really soft and natural. So happy I plucked up the courage to do my lips, finally!!!
I wanted to share as I have been following other stories on here and reading your stories definitely helped me with my decision and also to get help to research.
My advise would be to never to it if it doesn't make feel right, go to a medical doctor who specialise in lips and fillers, never feel pressured. Take photos of what you like and what you don't like with you to show. I also bought arnica cream as I read about it on this forum and applied after to prevent bruising (I didn't get any bruising fortunately). II think that's it. Oh yes the product the doctor used was called Wolbella juvaderm. I haven't told family other than my husband or work colleagues about it and when I got back to work after weekend I purpously used a new lipstick colour (I normally only wear chapstick ) and no one seems to notice pheew i really don't want to have a conversation with anyone at work about my plumper lips so I'm so relieved that no one seemed to have clocked that I had my lips done. So happy I did it and will probably do it again as the doctor said that it will start to go down in a few month.
