Ive always had pretty much NO upper lip...couldnt wear lipstick without brown lipliner to make it look bigger. I finally made the decision to get veneers (my teeth were a whole different story) and I had the temporary veneers applied today, so I figured now was as best a time as ever to do the restylane in my upper lip.

I was a little nervous because I didnt want anything really obvious, and I have read horror stories on here about duck lips, etc. I told the PA-C about what I wanted and what i didnt, and she suggested that I just get a teeny bit on my bottom lips so that it would pout out too. She used some numbing cream, but i had a dental block earlier in the day at my dentists office that hadnt completely worn off. The injections were just a bit uncomfortable. I only bought half of a syringe (not sure how much is in that), and we didnt use all of it this time; Im going to go back in a few weeks or a month maybe and use the rest. I just really really hope that it lasts awhile for me, even four months I would be happy with. I posted some pics, i dont know if you can tell the difference but i can. Wish me luck that this will last for me!

oh, I forgot to add too...i had absolutely no bruising at all. I went out today (i had it done yesterday afternoon) with no make-up on at all. I think all the swelling has gone down as well. The after picture was taken about four hours after the injections.

yes, i do feel it was worth it. I really was only looking for a little enhancement, something not too noticeable, you know? It still looks pretty good so far, Im just wondering how long it will last.
