I have always disliked my lips. They weren't tiny just not wanted I envisioned for myself. So I ended up getting Juvederm xc and the dental block before hand. It was a quick and totally painless procedure. I used one syringe. Right after the treatment I was given a bag of ice to keep on my lips to below oth swelling and bruising. I iced on and off all night. I did swell a pretty great amount the next day and they were sore. I'm on day two now and they are very swollen and painful. Will update when I know more!

The dental block sounds dreamy! I felt pain even with the numbing cream. Thanks so much for sharing on RealSelf.

Your lips look great! Are you still happy with the results? I love Juvederm. I've never had a Dental Block or heard of it but Lidocaine was in the syringe. I just think about something while the procedure begins, little prick from the needle, and then the numbing/Lidocaine sets in and it doesn't hurt....thank goodness for it because in the past, (2002?), Collagen didn't have any Lidocaine in it....eeek! Best wishes please post more pics if you are able to post them. Thanks for your review!

So it is exactly two weeks after my procedure. My bruising is pretty much all gone and my lips have settled to where they will stay. I had a bit of regret the very next day but, I have heard that is pretty normal! I LOVE them and highly highly recommend Dr Schneider. He did exactly what I wanted and really took care of me. I will definitely be going back again!
