My Dr. Is amazing but I knew that already because I had a non surgical rhinoplasty on my nose done by him 3 years ago which I love love love! After years of wanting fuller lips, I decided to do it. I had my lips augmented with Silikon 1000 on Tuesday and it's now Thursday and I love them. I have swelling and a little bruising which is expected. The ladies in the office were extremely helpful especially when I had a question regarding the swelling-- I was reassured that everything is going well. Today I feel good. I know the swelling will go down more but I have to admit, I love the look of my lips today. My lips before are in my profile pic. The pictures below will be 1 day after and 2 days after procedure.

I don't want to freak you out, but I thought I should speak up. If your doctor used Silikon1000, they should have most certainly been skilled in the "micro droplet technique." This means that you have a very small injections (1/2 vial or LESS) spread out between 8-10 weeks! This is the most important factor when using Silikon1000. It should never EVER be injected all at once! (Silikon1000 is SILICONE!! And silicone, although permanent, has drastic invasive results causing granular lesions that can migrate throughout your body not just your lips!). How much research did you do? Is this doctors certified to work with silicone? (Silikon1000) did you sign any disclaimer papers? I'm terribly sorry, but I am very fearful for you down the road in a year or two.
