FYI botox can be used on the upper lip to get it to roll up more. I've read it takes about 10 units. I haven't tried it myself yet though. For people looking for an alternative or adjunct to filler in the upper lip, you may wanna ask your doc about this.

I just got my lips and undereyes done one week ago (last Saturday) with Juvederm. It’s really was just a little discomfort more so than painful. It was tolerable though. The eye results are amazing...no more bags or dark undereye circles...as for the lips, I’m okay with the results but I think I need just a bit more. Going back this Thursday as I think my body metabolized it quite fast and I don’t really see much of a difference as I’d hoped for. I did bruise and swell but ice packs and Arnica helped with that. I went back to work that Monday with no issues and covered bruising with makeup. I love it though and I am an advocate for if you have anything you want to improve about your already wonderful self...DO IT!... it everything in moderation, right! :smile:

I just did my first lip filling at age 70. It’s not easy to get natural looking results at my age, so I was very concerned about whether to do it.

I’ve been using Botox & filler for years, but was a nervous wreck about getting my lips done because I bruise & swell terribly. My PS finally had to use the cannula (sp?) on my folds and under eyes for filling to minimize (and pretty much eliminate) any bruising, but the cannula can’t really be used for lip filler.

I was terrified I’d look like a duck, but since I’ve been really pleased with his overall, very natural looking results over the years, I was willing to give it a try.

At first, I really looked like I got punched in the mouth, and I did have ducky looking lips, so I was initially very upset. I used heavy 24 hr concealer to get through the first week to cover the very purple bruises. I was so worried, I even considered going back to have the filler dissolved. I’ve since learned that the initial bruise & swell duck look is pretty normal.

Within 2 weeks, I was THRILLED with how natural it looked. I’m really happy with the results. Even my close friends (who would be absolutely truthful) tell me how natural and rested I look. It’s amazing what a difference it makes.

My DH, who was pretty unhappy when I first did it, thinks it looks great. I really love the way my lips look now. Not a duck seen from any angle.

I will definitely maintain this part of my regimen.

Good for you for going forward. Could you possibly post a picture?

I have been trying to find some plastic surgery boards to go to but can't find any that are significantly active. Just wanting personal stories of people who have had lip fillers. The good, the bad, and the ugly! I have been contemplating getting something done because I hate how my upper lip disappears when I smile. If I have a straight face I think it is pretty normal sized, then I smile and that thought goes out the window. Definitely not looking for anything permanent, just something I can try to see if I like the difference or not.

I have been getting lip fillers for 2 years now. I go every 4-8 months. The initial visit wears off fast from my experience but as you continue it lasts longer. I haven’t been since May and still don’t need a refill. If you go, just say you want .5 ML if possible not a full 1mL. I get .5 and it looks natural.
