WORTH IT$125
I have recently noticed that my upper lip had vertical lines that were pronounced. I went to see Dr. Sweis, and she immediately knew how to remedy my problem. One syringe of Botox, and I was confident it will be gone in a day or so. It is her skillful eye and expertise , that keeps me coming back to her.

I've had multiple Botox in the upper line my lines are not gone, why?

I've had the same problem. Initially, I was convincing myself that it was working. But as time went on, I knew those LINES were haunting me!!!! I heard that there is a new product available, and it helps alleviate the appearance of vertical lines. I must do my research to find how effective and the cost of this procedure. I'm hoping it's not as expensive as all the other facial fillers. I'll post when I get my info from a reliable source.

You probably need filler and Botox, I had started to see lines forming on my lip and needed both.

I had a Lip Lift a year and a half ago and now my vertical lines are all gone. I still get one syringe of Botox to get rid of those ugly thin lines. Did you get a chance to look at my entire profile?

I am a couple of days away from my Volbella treatment and I'm looking forward to this subtle look on my lips. I get a special thrill when I tell people my age, and they genuinely look shocked. Each year that passes my not so subtle changes seem to multiply. I've had such great luck with Dr. Sweis and I hope I will continue to elicit more lovely responses after my a Volbella and "possibly " lip lift.

Your upper lip looked swollen in one of your profile views. Did it stay looking puffy? Don’t get me wrong I am not saying it looked bad, I was just curious?

Hi there!! Yessss, my upper lip was looking like a horse on steroids. Lol. It remained swollen for approximately a week. But, all of the swelling and bruising went away. I love love my new lips. Thx. Xoxo

Botox for my Lip Lines
Just went for my second round of Botox for my vertical lines on my upper lip. Three days later...Boom, they're gone! I'm always guaranteed the most natural results with Dr. Sweis. She is a paragon of perfection and professionalism.

you're lucky. I had 'dysport' injected in my upper lip and I could hardly talk, let alone using a straw was disgusting looking. I am drooling out of the right side of my mouth. Hopefully it will wear off soon. I will never get anything like that anywhere near my mouth again.

OMG. I had incredible results with just one syringe of Botox. My lines were barely visible after 3 days. I'm addicted to it!! Dr. Sweis does an amazing job with administering Botox!

Hi. I honestly don’t know how many cc’s. She charges per syringe, which is $140 per syringe. I usually require 5 syringes. I actually just went to her yesterday for my 3 month dosage. Still waiting for it to kick in! I’d imagine by tomorrow I will be wrinkle free. Yeahhhhhhh

Botox is usually charged by the "unit"; Dysport is also charged by the "unit", but the units are on a different measuring scale. Filler is charged by the cc's in a syringe. All are given by syringe and needle, but the neurotoxins usually are given in much tinier amounts than the fillers.

Hi there my Realself Friend. I have often questioned my ps about her pricing. Her answer is always the same. She charges per syringe for Botox and for fillers it’s a set price per product. I had Juvederm Plus this time in my lips for $650 The prior pricing was $500 for Juvederm. I am at the point where I don’t ask anymore because I’m not hearing what I want to hear. Lol. Her office seems packed with ladies getting Botox and fillers, so she’s doing something right with her OWN prices!??

I'm happy to hear that it worked so well for you! I'm 41 and have started considering doing this (since I'm just starting to see lines). I've heard it can be difficult to drink for a while afterward--but it sounds like the key is finding someone who won't go too heavy on the dose. Very impressed with your results.

Botox time again!!
It's been 3 months since my last Botox injection for my vertical lines in my upper lip. Dr. Sweis performed her magic, using one syringe of Botox!! In three days, my lines will be history. Dr. Sweis, and her little bit of sparkle. :-)

You paid $125 for one syringe of botox? That is cheap! Your face looks wonderful, too.

Hi Randi, so botox helps with vertical lines?! I've been thinking about a filler in the one or two vertical lines that are starting to bother me. Did botox work better than a filler?
Love and light to you!
