Lip fillers! HELP

Apr 3, 2015

Hi I have a few questions about lip fillers I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge to share.

1) It will be my first time and I was wondering how much I should have injected? I really do want a big full pout and I'm not looking for a subtle boost. I was thinking of just starting with 1ml, will that be enough to achieve a good result.

2) how long will they last?

3) how long does the initial swelling last for?

4) how much do they hurt when numbing cream is used?

5) how long does the process take?

6) does juvederm or restylane produce better results?

Please feel free to give me some advice, anything you know would be helpful! Thanks 💋

I've never had lip fillers or know anyone who has but I feel these questions are best to ask the person doing the procedure. Make sure you go to a trained professional (I know some people is beauty salons can do fillers with very minimal training but personally I'd pay more to have it done by a medical professional), ask for before and after photos of other clients. and I'd also advise having a consultation before you have it done, go to a few different people so you've got time to weigh up your options and what not.

Hope you find some answers to your questions.

I agree with Rebecca j but also I would put very little in the first time you do it! Because you can always add more but it's not so easy to take away!

I agree with Rebecca. Make sure you know everything about the procedure, including side effects. I'd have an allergy test beforehand too as you may be allergic to one of the products used.
Be careful about where you go, there are many backstreet cowboy surgeons who will charge less. I'd recommend going to a medical professional, even if it does cost more.
Make sure you really do want this too, as it's a big physical change. Big lips don't suit everyone.

Be sure to ask these to the place your getting it done at these can all very by what brand and ingredients are used in the filler.
