Not happy this time with lips.
WORTH IT$1,550
After the swelling went all the way down I just wanted a touchup. I feel like my lips are back to the shape they used to be, they are just bigger now!!! I don't want a big mouth, just FULLNESS. My upper lip is still hollow with an inward curve, it's just all over bigger. Crossing my fingers that it will look better post swelling.

I've answered this in the comments but peeps are still asking: I have two different fillers. Restylane in the lips and Voluma(a type of juvederm) in the cheekbones. I've been feeling a bit sick the past few days but here are some update pics for ya :) I did decide to go with the recommendation to get another syringe in my cheekbones, this time a little higher up, like the area you'd use a highlighter on. I also wanted a smidge more on my lips. I liked the way they looked about a week after but apparently there was still a little swelling at that point. This time was a lot more painful both for the cheek and lip areas. For the cheekbone, it was closer to my eye and temples so the sound of the filler going in was super weird, and I'm still sore. No bruising there though. On the lips she went more around the border this time, instead of just in the center. This will hopefully give a more defined look. Im also attempting to get a bit of that "dent" in the bottom lip. I think I see a shadow of it but I'm still not totally sure that it was communicated accurately since I tried to ask for that last time and didn't get it at all. She was hesitant to look at pictures but I wasn't sure how else to communicate since I wasn't seeming to be able to put it into words. I probably will eventually get surgery anyways, but this makes me feel extra cautious about making sure we have the same vision. I definitely look more duck-lipped this time around since there is filler all the way around my lips so I'm feeling really nervous. Last time i did have more outrageous swelling that this time, but it didn't look bad. This time... I'm just sitting at home hoping the swelling is the reason it looks so bad. Also have more bruising.

I put my earliest an last photos next to each other so that the difference is easier to see. I'm pretty happy with how conservative Amber agreed to be. We talked beforehand and agreed that the goal was to just look really refreshed. I may gradually increase my fillers but I didn't want to walk in a room and have people immediately notice that I have had something done, ya know? I am currently so happy with my results. Even looking at myself in the mirror I almost don't notice unless I specifically compare it to a befor picture. I look like myself, just better!
