WORTH IT$1,100
I have hereditary under eye bags and my top lip is thinner on one side. We discussed fillers and how they could improve those areas. 10 days later I was back for the procedures. Juvaderm for the eyes and Restylane for the lips. It was uncomfortable, but bearable. She is conservative with the needle and after two weeks will add more if I want. It's sore now that the numbing cream has worn off. I'm super excited to see the final results when it's settled. My eyes aren't ready for a pic yet so I'll post when healed!

My doctor recommended it. She said they have a different feel and for the lips it should be softer and that Restylane provides a better result for that and for the fullness.

Who performed your filler? Would you recommend them? :) I live in Orlando.

Bridgette at Dr Soto's office, Aesthetic Enhancements. She's amazing!!! I'll never go to anyone else, she doesn't just add filler, she really pays attention and makes it an art.

40 Year Old with Hereditary Eye Bags and Uneven Lips
I wanted to fill in the bags under my eyes that make me look tired and older than I am. I also wanted fuller lips and to see if I could even out my top lip. I definitely have improvement in both areas. She used Juvederm under my eyes and Restylane in my lips. I did have some swelling and bruising, it's 5 days after and I'm mostly healed. It wasn't as painful as I'd feared, but it was uncomfortable. The worst was center bottom lip. I do have some areas in my lips that feel hard, I can't for instance squeeze my lips together like you would when putting on chapstick. But I've read it can take up to two weeks for that to go away.

Wow you look amazing! Love to know how long it ends up lasting for you

Thank you! The swelling has gone down on my lips and I'm thinking I might want to add more, lol! I liked it better a couple days ago. There's still a difference but once I saw my lips with that volume I really loved it! I'll definitely keep you updated!

Almost 2 weeks past
I go back on Monday after healing for 2 weeks! I'm happy with how my lips and eyes are looking, but I'm wondering if I can improve them even more. I am surprised that I still have some light bruising, and the swelling finally went down this week. I didn't think it would take that long. And my lips went down too much, lol! I want that swelling back!!
Thank you for your post! Curious, what prompted you to choose Restylane for your lips rather than the Juvederm in both areas?
