Getting my lips done for the first time hopefully soon... I'm booked in for a free consultation regarding it on the 28th May. So excited!
Belotero is the BEST for fine lines!
Very soft and natural looking.
I have Belotero intense in my lips. I like it better than Juvederm I've had before. My doctor recommended it instead of the Juvederm and I'm absolutely in love. Doesn't look fake at all.
What's the price difference between the two if you don't mind me asking?
My lips aren't thin, but they're pretty average and I would like them to be fuller.
I'm not in the USA so I can't comment on the prices but Belotero intense was more expensive than my previous Juvederm Ultra. Maybe $50-70 more expensive. But again Juvederm Ultra was 0.8 ml and Belotero intense is 1 ml so it's about the same.
My doctor is a plastic surgeon and she works with all the brands. She recommends a certain product only after examining your lips. Some people have thicker lips material, others have them softer, some people need more contorted lips. Based on that examination she makes suggestions.
I have a very full bottom lip and my top lip is smaller, about 1/6 of the bottom one. With Belotero she makes the perfect balanced where my top lip is about 2/3 of the bottom. It looks absolutely natural and people can't see the difference yet always compliment my lips.
I'm planning on having my lips done again. It's been about a year since I had it done so it's time. I've had Voluma in my cheeks but not in my lips. Would love to hear your results.
I get juvederm and Belotero . At my PS 's office he charges more for juvederm than Belotero . About 75 $ difference in price . Juvederm lasts longer in the lips !! Love it !
I just had it done! Well, it is too soon to tell how long it actually lasts in the lips. Dr put in 8/10 of the syringe, looks a little too natural for my taste so I'm going back in 2 weeks to put the rest in. I would ask for more, but my doctor doesn't believe in the Kylie Jenner look sooo....
My lips always eat up the fillers though, so I kinda already expected this.I just had it done! Well, it is too soon to tell how long it actually lasts in the lips.

I've had a couple PMs about Voluma and forgot to update my results. It hasn't been that long since I got them done, but so far so good. My top lip is still fuller than before.
I ended up not putting the rest in (yet). My dr. is just too darn conservative, and didn't want to ruin a good thing.
The main thing I wanted to achieve was a fuller upper lip while smiling, and I've got that now.
I paid about $900 for 1 syringe of Voluma. If it lasts as long as they promise, it will be worth worth it not to have to come back for it more than once a year.
My dr. is really nice. He took almost an hour prepping me, letting me ice my lips and gums, then injected a dental block (local anesthesia) before the actual Voluma injection into my lips. The mini needles sting a bit, but the pain is nothing compared to having the fillers injected into your lips without the dental block. I've done both before and trust me, you will want your doctor to take his/her time numbing you!

I'm a big fan of Restylane Silk now. Tried Juv in the past but i always felt the weird little ball clumps in my lips. And it never seemed to last longer than 2.5 months on me. The Restylane I forget is there and lips still look great 5 months in!
Hi, everyone! Can you recommend me great injector (with artistic eye lol ) in LA? I ve done it once few months ago, the doctor had great reviews ( and office in Beverly Hills) but the result was awful and I had to dissolve it two days later, had biiiiiig lump on my bottom lip and overall was very unhappy about the shape he created - two big uneven sausages lol
I think choosing the surgeon decides on which is better for you- Juvederm or Belotero. Belotero is a bit more costly, and frankly I don't know why any filler would look 'more' natural. The looking natural part depends on how good the surgeon is.
I get Juvederm facial filler injectables every 3 months here at the Med-Aesthetics clinic nearby, and I thinks it looks as natural as it can be. But again, I've never actually met anyone who's had Belotero. The doc just told me that Juvederm was best for me.
