Feminine Look with Juvederm Lip Injections - Portland, OR

Motivation pros and cons outcome
I have researched lip injections for a year or so because my lips weren't very defined, not very plump, and too thin in my opinion.
I chose the plastic surgeon after seeing my friend's awesome results done by him. all too often I see duck lip results instead of the balanced plumped and defined look I desired. I was numbed with a pain block and couldn't feel any pain at all. My lips swelled up so I just laid low for a few days and just told people I got dental work done.
This ended up being a huge boost to my self esteem. My lips are plump, still look like my own, and defined. They give my whole face a much more feminine look.

WOW your results are awesome, I love them!  Thank you so much for sharing your pics.  Did you feel anything with the pain block?

Thank you! Nope I didn't feel anything for a couple hours with the pain block shot.

I agree, you DO look awesome and I think Dr. Kim is an amazing doctor. Question: if I pass on the pain block (I have a high tolerance for pain) will I have less swelling?

They look great! Are they still as plump or has some of it been absorbed already?

Went for a second round of juvederm with the same Doctor. It's been about 12 months done my first injections ever. I still saw volume and definition in my lips but was ready for another injection.
Didn't have the funky cheek swelling as b4, but did experience a little bruising. The doctor and the nurses are really good at communicating what to expect. :))

Just a little update

It's been about 9 months since my 2nd Juvederm injection. I had my first juvederm injections in 2013. I love my lips- I think current options for lip implants don't give very good results (have read implants give an unnatural looking smile, no help with volume, implants pokin out of the incisions, etc). I am looking forward to another appointment for more juvederm after a while.

Your lips still look great! I'm seriously considering driving down to have Dr. Kim do mine.

Thank you! You should, but expect to have freaky swollen lips for the next 2 days or so after injections.
