I had been considering getting lip injections for quite a while. I didn't want to change the shape of my lips, I just wanted to plump them up and enhance their natural shape. I went to the Dr with the intention of using Restylane but the Dr acted like she only used it to fill lines around the mouth and suggested I use the silicon 1000 instead. On a whim I did it which is really pretty dumb since it is permanent and I've never tried lip injections before. Luckily it is input in very small amounts so change won't be drastic unless I decide to do additional treatments.

The shots were painless but felt a little weird because after she would poke it in I could feel her injecting in different directions. She did one poke on each side of each lip. All went smoothly until the poke. As soon as she pulled the needle out my lip started swelling and pooling with blood. She held it tight for a while and that seemed to control the swelling and bleeding. I left and over the next hour I could feel it getting a little bigger and then all of a sudden it literally started blowing up before my eyes and the Bruins was spreading. Mostly on just one side of my upper lip. Once it got so big it started spreading to the other side. It literally looked like my lip was going to pop like a big o blood blister. I sat down for about an hour keeping constant pressure on it. It improved quite a bit after that but it was still huge and badly bruised.. Here are some pics of the first 24 hrs of my experience. I'm going to attach the pics in a separate post. I don't want to lose this post incase it screws up.

They do look fantastic now that the bruising had gone away! Im so glad it worked out! Im getting mine within this next month & am super nervous, but have researched the doctor/injectionist, she's done this for 14+ years.

Do your research first on silicone injections as it is has caused many problems for many people, including myself. My lips looked great the first 5 years and then went downhill quickly. I finished my 3rd surgery in April removing the foreign material and reconstruction. Take a look at my before and after photos on RealSelf. It’s really a big gamble to mess with it, but up to you!

Well it changed the order of my pics and I thought I would be able to go back and label the rest of them but looks like I can't.. Well you get the idea, was just a little swollen, then blew up like a sausage lip and then went back down.

None came out but leaked into my lip are causing the bruising and swelling. The swelling went down within 24hr.
