I just got back from the doctor’s office. I had Juvederm injected into mostly my upper lip, but some in my lower lip. As I understand it, Juvederm is a form of sugar acid similar to Restylane, but it is supposed to last longer. This is the third time I have had it done.
My lips have a great shape, but my top lip has always been thin. It gets thinner when I’m stressed or mad. It’s passed down genetically from dad’s side.
I have duck lips right now, but no one will be able to specifically tell in 2 days. It just looks nicely normal–no Angelina here. I get less than a syringeful which is the average amount. My SO loves it, but hates plastic surgery. This is different for him.
I do it to simply have normal but full lips. My job involves selling my appearance so it helps there, too. With the procedure I can get away with just pale gloss.
Despite my screenname and a short time overly focused on my appearance I’m not very fake. I’m even a real blonde–just have highlights. No botox and other than the lips everything is still real.
Effects will last about 6 to 8 months. Anyone considering it? Have a general question, or tell me how horrible it is? Shoot.
As I understand it the hyaluronic acid binds to water and then just degrades with time. It’s already present in your body hence the lowered need for tests to determine allergic reactions. When it’s gone my lips are exactly before the augmentation. Also, I loathe duck lips.
About $300 from a board certified dermatologist and plastic surgeon. But he cuts me a deal since he posts my before and after pics on his site. They just show my lips.
Typically it costs about $450 to $750 depending on the filler and amount used. There are spas that do this sort of thing, but they only require a license. Go to a real doctor specializing in plastic/cosmetic surgery with no state board actions.
. Lawwyer-specifically litigation. I bring many clients to the firm so I have to.look good for all that BS.
Freudian Slit local anesthetic injections just like at the dentist so no pain. It is sore now since the.numbness is gone, but it’ll be fine by morning.
I don’t see my most recent lips, fall of 2009, on his site, but if all goes well then in two weeks he’ll take the after shot, then post both. I still might just find some similar pictures though as I don’t know how I feel about divulging my doctor. They are technically his pictures now so.I can’t just post elsewhere.

Once your lips are full, is there anything you can’t do? Do you stilll have complete feeling? Does stuff you used to do with your lips feel different? Do you talk funny? What do other people who know you think?
And, while I understand that BJs are off-limits, is it okay if you include kissing in those activities mentioned above? I would think that would be an activity that might actually be altered.
So are you a lawyer, legal assistant, or an assistant? I’m genuinely curious, when you said what you did you implied the business, but not your role in it specifically.
