How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

This will be my final update. I am writing again as an encouragement to those considering lip augmentation.
It is now 4 weeks since my fill, and I am now happy with the outcome. I love the bottom lip but still not keen on the top. Having it done caused big reactions and judgements from everyone......everyone noticed!! I was even avoided by people because they couldn't believe I would do such a thing to myself. Back to normal and all is fine now.
My main comment is to let others know that some people hold swelling more than others. Next time, and I will do it again (but more subtly), I'll take more time off work and take Arnica beforehand. I am also wondering if the humidity and long flight home caused more swelling? Hmmmmm I wonder how long the product will last on me? I was told 8 months. Bye bye!

It's 16 days since my lips were filled. It was a rough and scary ride this first time, but I must say I am feeling ok now. I am surprised at how much it freaked me out......mind you my lips were huge and hideous that first week. I am adjusting to looking a little different and my lips are looking ok. The top lip is still mildly overfilled under the cupids bow which is pushing against my front teeth and pushing the lips up to look mildly ducky, but I'm guessing that will change as the product dissolves. Anyway, I have decided to not have the product dissolved and will be more assertive about my needs if I ever have it done again. Next time I will discuss in details what I would like and go for underfilling rather than overfilled look. Oh and one final thing, I did email the clinic where I had it done to ask for some aftercare advice for the two pea sized lumps, but I didn't get a response. Thank goodness for RealSelf!!

It is 9 days since filler and my lips are still tender and the top lip swollen and out of proportion. Tonight I have noticed white bumps appearing and suspect it is the Juvederm becoming more noticeable as swelling dissipates. I don't recall the doctor massaging the lips at any time during the process. I did bleed a lot. I have contacted the PS who is performing my rhinoplasty in January, to find out if he will look at it and administer the injection to dissolve the filler, as I can't go vack to the original doctor. People at work have been quite shocked by the change.
