WORTH IT$540

Ive been wanting to get my lips done for a couple years snd upon researching juvederm I found this webite and saw a lot of great reviews so I decided to ginally go through with it! I found my doctor on n Google and called to set up a consultation. The receptionist saif it wasn't worth the consultation price if I wanted them just set the appointment up so i did. I had questions and the dr actually called me at 10pm, talked to me for a halg hour, I sent him pics of my lips and how big I santed to go and 2 wks later got them done. I can go back, in a week or so once the swelling goes down if I want to use the rest which I probably will. Im definitely happy with them but upset it didn't solve the isdue of hiding my gum, which was the main reason I had wanted it. But im glad I found this website, and I would definitely reccomend this to other people!

Thanks for starting your story on RealSelf! Sorry it's rough right now. I got a really big lump, too and it stayed until the juvederm wore off. I have heard that for lots of people the lumps go away. Have you tried massaging them at all.

I hope the bruising/bumps go away soonest so you can enjoy your lips!

OMG! I can't live with these bumps the whole time! they are huge and horrible! I tried massaging it yesterday,but today I woke up and it was worse! I'm going to post pics later, I tried calling the dr hoping I can be seen today.. it's mostly on the inside of my lip.. it's a white color.. i've read that it could just be where the juvederm didn't spread out evenly.. I'm just praying to God that it isn't permanent!!

I'm hoping you are better. I got 70% if a vile injected by my derm. I have 2 huge inside bumps where he injected (yes, only twice). I have an appt tomorrow fir the rest of my vile. I'm scared to get it now. I thought we got more than "2 pokes" when plumping the lips. I feel really oopid.

I still have my bump and it's been about 3 weeks now.. It's not as bad as it was before and thank God it's gone down a lot.. I haven't been able to see my plastic surgeon I've had to cancel twice but will definitely be going in hopefully tomorrow! I have a wedding to go to on Saturday! Everyone says it's not noticeable until I mention it but I love the fullness! I just hope I can get rid of the lump! Yea I used prolly a lil more than 70%. I'm waiting till my lump is gone to use the rest.. That's what I was told to do.. But good luck! Do you have pics posted? I'll be posting pics tomorrow.. I've been busy and haven't had a chance to post lately. But I'll be updating tomorrow

This is really unusual. there is usually very little reaction. I think this may be bruising. Don't massage it may make it worse.

I know I realized not to massage it after I read all the comments! Took my first round of antibiotics so we'll see!!
