Just added another syringe but used Juvederm Voluma this time
I knew I wasn’t happy with the outcome of the first two syringes of Restylane Refine. And I wasn’t happy with my upper lip looking like it had nothing in it. So I went back and and saw the RN Tracy and told her my concerns and she could see what I was talking about. She wanted to use Juvederm which I was going to request anyway as I was told it’s much thicker and I may not have had to use so many syringes up to this point. Any I just had them done last night so I have swelling but I love that she got close to my boarder and gave it some shape and definition I was looking for. I was supper happy when I left and can’t wait until the swelling goes down. I will see her in 11 days for follow up as I’m trying to get this all good for a family reunion/wedding June 9th.
What I can say is there is a big difference in the two products straight away. You don’t feel restylane going in but you do Juvederm because it’s stiffer but it doesn’t hurt. You swell faster with juvederm and you most likely I did anyway hurt all night. I did not with restylane just sore. Another good thing with juvederm is once your injected you get very numb and each time after.
I will post more after the swelling goes down!!

Upper lip could use more
Really thinking I need more on my upper lip. Just afraid of looking silly.
Lip filler. Just turned 50 needed some lips.
Ended up using two syringes of restylane refine. I think because I told him i wanted a more natural look. But if I New it was going to take this much I would have just used juvederm being it’s thicker and I would have had to use less. I think he should have told me that and gave me the option. I have older lips and it would have filled them quicker. Don’t get me wrong I love them but now I’ve used two of my three allotted syringes in my membership. Next time I think I will use juvederm. Anyway I have lips now and couldn’t be happier. I would love to have a bit more definition on top but without the fake look. You know what I mean. Also the first go hurt like hell and the second time was very comfortable and I couldn’t figure out why. I mean those needle pricks are killer and I have a very high tolerance for pain. Then I figured out that I waited longer for the Dr the second time so the numbing cream was able to sit longer and actually work lol not like the first time.
My advice would is to no what you want even have pictures. They can shape your lips almost anyway you want. I really just wanted my center bottom done and we didn’t go out to the corners giving more of a pout. I also to him I wanted a natural lip line on top. I did not want to look like a “duck” so he stayed away from that except a little on my points. A good Dr will work with you and go slow do a little at a time while your looking in
A mirror when your a first timer and a little scared and unsure. Next time I will be good to say hay just fill me up lol.
And FYI you probably will swell like a “duck” but that does go away. I did enjoy the swelling and that’s what made me want bigger lol. Just like when I had my boobs done you always want bigger. But I suggest to go slow as you can always add an build on the lips.
I hope this helps any middle aged women looking to get a little more lip love in her life.
** price per syringe is around $600-650
I believe But I am a VIP PLUS member so I only paid $150.00/syringe plus $110/month

Dr Tam is very patient has a great bedside manner and he listened to what I wanted and was very patient and went nice and slow with my lip filler. This was my first time so yes I was very nervous about it and afraid they were just going to inflate like a balloon but that is not how it works. I appreciate his honesty and patience with me. I do wish he would have recommended juvederm and maybe we could have used less than two syringes of restylane refine to get my lips slightly fuller and saved me a syringe for something else. However I do love them and next time maybe we can try juvederm. He is a Doctor and I love going there.
