WORTH IT$450
I got Juvederm in my top lip and I am swollen today, and it's expected...but I like it swollen (haha). My lip look larger on one side, but one side has less pigment than the other side. I wouldn't have noticed but my friend told me and said that I should have it tattooed... I am not sure if I would go that far because it would need to match perfectly and it is an investment. .. here are the before pictures from yesterday... and the after pictures from yesterday and today are to follow this update.

I can't tell that one side has less pigment than the other.  Do you notice it much?

You probably can't notice it because I had lip gloss on in the picture. It can be fixed with lip liner but I don't bother with it. I didn't know what I was noticing until my friend told me.. but I'll post a pic now that the swelling has subsided.

'Touch Up' 27 Days After Juvederm in lip..

I decided to make an appointment with my Doctor because I needed a follow up regarding the left side of my top lip. He added some to the left side and, to even out the sides, some to the right side. I had him put a small amout in my bottom lip since there was more left in the syringe (I don't like to waste product). I don't know why the middle of my lip seems like there is a hollow spot; I may have to follow up when the swelling goes down to fix it. I wish there was a more permanent filler because all fillers seem to disintegrate quickly in my lips. Any suggestions? Thanks.

You could always consider fat transfer (they inject your own fat into your lips).  There are some more permanent fillers on the market but they do come with their own sets of risks so research them before doing anything.  Here is a Q&A about it:

Artefill is the only permanent filler I can think of off the top of my head that can be used in the lips:

I've had a fat transfer with a lip lift in 2003 and I want to have it done again. Do you have any information on lip implants? Thanks Jill!

Someone told me in the past that they got a lip implant that "goes away over time." Have you ever heard of it? Thank you for the links!!!

Hmmm I haven't really heard of an implant going away over time because it isn't something that can really go away- but maybe they had fat transferred, which can definitely go away.  I wonder what kind of implant they mean?

I think the 21 day follow up appointment after fillers is normal. Dr Burgmeire told me we would do the injections on the 12 and then an appointment three weeks later to do any TouchUp that might be necessary.

i have heard of it... it is fat wrapped in your own tissue... or just rolled tissue... perhaps they use fascia? I can't remember, but it was something like that.
