I had 1cc of Restylane Silk done yesterday for the first time. It's hard for me to tell what the result will look like because I'm still swollen & bruised.

I have done restyline too about 2 months ago, you will love the results, but it takes about 2-3 weeks to settle into final look :) I was freaking out first week cause it looked fake (swollen) :)) Although I didn't get bruised, if you got big bruises then I strongly recommend finding better surgeon/dermatologist. tiny bruise is ok.

Where did you do it from? I have very thin lips and my friends suggested that I do Juvederm.

My lips are not thin, I just wanted to fix my slight asymmetry in top lip and give me a bit more volume in the middle of the top and lower lip.
First time I got it from well known (even on tv) surgeon in Beverly Hills (he does face and body, although he promoted himself on the internet as lip injection master lol) and it was juvedrem, I didn't like juvederm at all, and also this doctor did not have aesthetic eyes and just gave me two sausages instead of pouty mouth lol I ve also developed huge hard lump on the lower lip from juvederm, so I ve dissolved it in 4 days and all that cast me about 1200$.
Second time I went to a doctor who did my friends nose job, and did a miracle on her, it was difficult case and he only does face related surgeries/injectables. And he was amazing and even fixed my asymmetry in top lip. he recommended restyling and I had great results from it. If you live in LA I can pm you info.

It is two months since I got Restyline injected in my lips to get rid off slight asymmetry in my top lip (only noticeable to me lol) and to make the middle of my top and bottom lip fuller. 3/4 of syringe. (one syringe is 0.8, so about 0.6).
two hours later - lips look white because of lidocaine in the filler.
the next day is the worst, very swollen and hard to touch.
in a week it looks ok, but still very fake and also lips are hard.
in two months (now) - looks great, but smile was better before injections, it looks quite fake now, although filler in my bottom lip is almost gone, I can't feel it.

You can think of lip augmentation by some other way that lasts. There are other surgical procedures. Moreover, fillers are temporary steps. Obviously, it depends on the individual. You must speak to several plastic surgery specialists that which can be a long lasting step and worth doing!! Of course, you don't want your money to go in vain!

well, yes it disappeared quickly, but I heard that second - third time it holds much better, although I like my own lips too, so it was just an experiment :)

Thank you! I like that they are symmetrical now, but I don't see much change overall size vise, cause it was such a small amount injected :) Actually when my lips were quite full first two weeks, I noticed that it didn't suite my face, so its better to start slow, and add more if you need it ))

I love the 2 month pic! Did it hurt at all? Would you do it again/keep up with it?

I am not really scared of pain, at least needle pain. Yes it did hurt, I would say a lot, but I expected it to, so it was ok. I got sclerotherapy done yesterday, that one hurts quite a lot too, but its all bearable.
I am not sure if I would do it again, because it changed my smile a bit, my upper lip is covering bigger portion of my teeth when I smile and that looks weird, not too bad, but I notice it and that bugs me a bit.
Another thing is: when so little amount of filler injected like in my case it doesn't really change the size of the lips much, just gives slight volume and then if you want noticeably bigger lips - they are going to look amazing until you start talking. In motion big amount of lip fillers makes the mouth look quite scary lol
So currently I feel like its not worth getting it for this amount of money to have a slight increase in volume. But will finally decide on that once fillers are dissolved and how I feel about that then.
Also, another tip : if you have small mouth, fillers will look much much better than wide/big mouth.

Will scar tissue grow over the filler and become permament if we keep filling up the lips before the all the fillers has dissolved?

Anyone tried teosyal kiss? Not sure how popular it is in the states but its certainly is in eu. Ive only tried juvederm so far

I had fat injected into my lips about 5 years ago. It disappeared within a few weeks. Later , when doing a breast reconstruction by a plastic surgeon, I asked for some fat to be put into my lips, naso-labial folds and the corners of my mouth. My lips were large and swollen and bruised for two weeks. The naso-labial fold looks great and the fat has lasted. The lips lost it again in the next few weeks. I wouldn't ever bother to do it again.


I was considering Restylane or some other filler but I kind of think that might just get absorbed fast, too. Something about talking and chewing, etc. makes the fat get re-absorbed....that's one theory I have heard. Who knows? I think lips are the most challenging. Maybe it's just me but I had good luck with the folds.

I'm looking to get this done soon, but definitely not looking forward to the pain aspect. When they dissolve, do your lips go back to looking how they normally did? Granted, I know you didn't do anything Lisa Rinna-esque so that question may be misappropriated, lol!

I do have a small mouth so here's to hoping, I suppose! I just can't decide on whether I should go through with it and risk loving it + therefore having upkeep or just forget about it.:smile1:
