Had 1 syringe of Radiesse injected in my deep smile lines in November 2009. As of March 2010 I am still happy with results. Radiesse is painful and I did have swelling (looked like a gorilla) and slight bruising for a week. This is one injectable I would only have done by someone with a lot of experience with Radiesse. I am going to try Juvederm next time with hopes of having less down time. If you do Radiesse do it on a thursday before a long weekend.

This is my 3rd time getting Juvederm (each 12 months apart). I got one syringe in my lips, lip line to fill fine lines and some in the nasolabial folds. The first time I'd say it wore off after about 10-11 months. After the 2nd time when I went in a year later I could definitely still feel it in my upper lip. This 3rd time I actually might be able to go 14 months or so. I'm always happy with the results. I am the type of person to get some swelling so come home a apply cold packs for a few minutes every 15-30 minutes for about 4 hours and I think that greatly helps. The first two years I had a little bruising but this year NONE which is great. Also, this year I had the Juvederm XC which just came out this week. Its not like it didn't hurt but it was MUCH better with the lidocaine then without. I didn't feel every excruciating poke. Instead the initial pokes hurt but then numbed the area so the rest of them became more like dull pinches. A much better experience for me.

I DID THE RESTYLANE INJECTION AT THE MOUTH AREA BETWEEN THE NOSE AND LIP IN AUGUST 08. I STILL HAVE WHAT LOOKS LIKE SMALL KNOTS IN THIS AREA. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS THE INJECTION OR THE INJECTOR.

I had thin lips so I went in for Restylane Injections. They hurt pretty bad, and I was red and swollen for a couple of days but it was totally worth it. I love the way that my face looks now!

I went in to get my laugh lines filled. It was 550 for one syringe, it hurt even with numbing cream, but knowing what I would look like after was the motivation that I needed. I have a great doctor who explained everything that I should expect, and so I think that helped. I will be doing this again for as long as I need to.

I had perlane injected into my lips to plump them up and into my face to get rid of some pretty deep wrinkles that I have. I went to a plastic surgeon with whom I had had other procedures performed so I never even thought to ask questions or see before and afters. I should have, considering it wasn't the doctor who injected me. I was bruised for a while, and my wrinkles are still extremely noticeable. I am not too pleased and feel like I wasted time and money.

My lips have always seemed small for my face, so after a couple of years of going back and forth, I decided to get them augmented. I didn't really know a lot about the different types of products that were out there, so I was kind of at the mercy of my doctor.
The pain overall was bearable. The doctor used topical numbing cream, and then a dental block, so I felt almost nothing while he was injecting me. After the numbing wore off, my lips were pretty sore and any pressure was painful, but it went away rather quickly.
After the initial swelling went down I was so happy with the way that my lips looked. They finally matched the rest of my features. I will definitely be doing this again.

I had really small, thin lips that I had always hated. I consulted my dermatologist as to what my options were. I decided to do a round of perlane to see how body would react, and to see what my lips would look like more plump. I am so glad I did. The injections were a tiny bit painful and I had some swelling afterward, but when that went away, I had amazing, plump lips. I really love the way that perlane made me look but I think now I am going to look for a more permanent solution.
