I got this as a group buy deal and it was a very great price so I thought I might as well. I have been wanting fuller lips now for some time and a mini lip injection is a more conservative way to try the procedure out and not have large duck lips.
I did my research on this site and other sites reading about the various products available and the pain levels etc. When I finally went for my apt. I was very nervous about the needles. My doctor was great though and went over the procedue and the lip shape we wanted etc. He then put on two different types of topical number on my lips and I couldnt feel a thing. I didn't even feel the needle at all and my lips look instantly different. Immediately after my boyfriend and I noticed three small lumps in my upper lip but believed it was just swelling from where the needle was used. It has now been 4 days and the lumps have not gone away. It is like the product concentrated in the sections where he injected it. I am very happy with my bottom lip but am hoping to get the top lip resolved this week. I will update what my doctor says about the lumps next week!

Sorry to respond to this the filler was radiesse and the bumps were not the filler but small blood clots that lasted a LONG time. Since I have gone back and gotten it again I have not had this again.

Hey there, i got the same lumps on one side of my upper lift. It has been just a week i had it done. I asked the doc and she told me to wait but i feel as if the lumps one of which is quite visible and recognised by people aint gonna fade away :(
August 30, 2015
I completely feel you! It was totally noticable when I had the two lumps. I wouldn't even smile because it looked so bad!
It could be two things:
1. Blood clot like I had and it will take about two weeks to go away.
2. The doctor didn't move the needle around when filling your lip and it all sat in one place (also happened when I started going back the second time)
If they don't hurt and you don't think it is a blood clot try massaging the bump in between your fingers to move the filler evenly. I've done that before and it worked!
If your lips are very thin to begin with it will take a few visits to build up the filler.
Let me know how it goes! Good luck :)

Thanks sooo much for replying :)
It is actually one big bump piled above my upper lip line. Below my nose. It is so strange it shifted location from my lips and went up. The doc told me not to massage lips after the op. However, i m too worried that that big bump looks unlikely to come down to my lips or settle down in its place :(

Oh no!! Okay I've never had it shift before! I'm so sorry that sounds awful. How long did your doctor tell you to wait to see if it improves?
August 31, 2015
Actually she told me she ll see me in 2 weeks. It is just that i ll start school and my colleagues and students ll keep asking me about the piled up thing above my lip line:( i m scared it ll take time to go away or stay there :( i ll upload some pics taken by phone so not very clear. Sorry. I ll let u know what happens. And
Your lips look fantastic i ve seen all your pics here and certainly they seems to have gone very well with injections. ;)

Awww yes! Load some pictures. I'm sorry you're having such a bad experience! Do you think you will go to a different doctor if you do them again??
Thank you so much it's been awhile doing it but it's definitely worth it if you can get past this first experience!
Let me know when you post pics!

3 Years and Lips are AMAZING!
Hi everyone! SO I totally forgot I posted this and I have definitely had improvement since this post.
Turns out my upper lip was sooo thin that the bumps were basically small blood clots from the needle. I have had the procedure done again and no problems!
The product used was Radiesse. I would highly recommend it. I have found that it lasts a long time if you don't smoke or drink much apparently and it looks completely natural.
I just started going again in March and by then I had let all my old filler dissolve so I essentially started from square one again.
I have since March gotten 5 1/2 injections or the equivalent of 2.5 full (2.5 ccs). It took awhile to build up my upper lip but I am in love with the look! I can finally wear lipstick and not feel self conscious and I get compliments on them all the time.
I can feel the filler a tiny bit if I squeeze my upper lip but nothing hard and no more lumps. Since the first time my bleeding has gone wayyy down as well. I hardly have the number gel on for very long anymore when I go.
Take a look at the pics and let me know what you think :)

Wow it really looks natural!
August 2, 2015
They look great! Where did you have them done?
August 4, 2015
I did 2.5 fillers from march-july so quite a bit! I'll definitely do a little more

That is perfect. I am a little frightened of implants. I don't want to look that much at my
lips. I only did filler once about two weeks ago. the PS did a beautiful job. My lips naturally were uneven. So with the filler she shaped the lips perfect. Now I think I need to go back for more fullness. I'm older so I don't want more than 2 cc. One women said it lasted 4 years without refills. Is that not fabulous. I don't smoke or drink. I think that would make some difference from what I've read. What do you think?

Before and After
So the pictures are a little blurry but I wanted to share the before and afters of my lips!
The bottom pic on both collages is the before, the top the after. Some people are pretty bitter about me getting injections (older women who are very judgemental) and claim they can't see a difference but I definitely can.
I love them so much and will probably go get at least 1 more CC in. Until my Dr. says they look duckish I will keep filling lol!

YES! Haha it's the way my picture collage defaulted on my phone.
Thank you :)
Thank you :)
Have you called your doctor's office to let them know about the lumps? If next week is your previously scheduled followup and you are concerned about the lumps it might not be a bad idea to at least call them so they can advise if you should move up your followup appointment or not.
Do you mind me asking what filler was used?
That is very concerning to hear. I would encourage you to make an appointment with a board certified dermatologist to get yourself looked at, just to be safe. Perhaps they will have something that can be done to help as well.
