Best lip filler?
I would love to plump up my lips (at least upper lip).
I have tried about every lip plumper on the market and none work. I'd be willing to pay for an injectable if it would last more than a couple of months.
Are there any that last close to a year? I am almost thinking I should try a temp filler to see what size I like, and then get lip implants. I mean, if lip implants are $2000 and injections are $400-500 every 6-12 months, it would make sense over time to just get the implants...right?
Are there any good lip implants out there?

I was watching The Dr's
One of there shows they showed a silicone lip procedure there. It was cool, it was almost like they cut on the side of her lip & slid in the silicone lip. I want to do that too but I am scared. I really want my lips done too. My ps doesnt do the silicone lips.

I get Juvederm, lasts a bit longer than Restylane.. heard Perlane is a bit better to last longer and also heard Evolance is even longer but .. I dont think I would ever consider an implant..Lisa Rinna comes to mind -- she says she has an implant so no go for me....as for scar tissue with continued use -- maybe..which is why I dont get dental block I just have a topical put on when I get mine done.. and thats it.. I dont want more shots than I have to have..

I had Restylane done when I had my breasts done (june)...they looked great but I'm noticing now they are starting to go back down :-( I'm considering implants but I'm really scared to get that awful duck look....just want the subtle look. It's not worth the 700. it cost me for injectables to last only 4 months or so.

Do not put Evolence in your lips, it gets rope-y and lumpy. There is a product called Evolence Breeze that is available in Europe that you can use in the lips, but not the Evolence we have in the states right now. Evolence Breeze will be here in the states in a couple years.
Juvederm and Restylane (Perlane too) are great in the lips and depending on if it's your first time to fill or not you can expect the results to last a minimum of 5 months and a maximum of 18 months. The products tend to last longer with subsequent injections....but there is the risk of scar tissue formation over years of continual injections. FYI: the scar tissue formation is from injections into the lips (as well as some of the filler) and not from the dental block (which should be way up under your lips and not necessarily in them directly)
The PermaSil lip implants are great. They come in three sizes, 3mm, 4mm and 5mm. Most people seem to be getting the 4mm implants and look great. Takes a doc about an hour total to put them in (in the office) and you've got some swelling for a couple weeks (the first few days afterward being the worst) but when all is said and done they look very natural. These are VERY different from lip implants in the past!!!! Much more natural looking.
The girls in the office where I work that have them all look fantastic. Nice thing is that if you don't like them they can be easily removed. The girls say their husbands don't feel them with kissing or anything and they don't notice them anymore (as far as them feeling them in there). I'm considering them myself. I don't want to continue to inject my lips........

I don't have any pics on my computer at home, but do at work. Like breast implants most say that after a while they dont feel them in their lips.
I took a jump today and I've scheduled the lip implants to go in in a few weeks. I'll take before and after's. There can be upwards of two weeks of swelling so it'll be a while before I'll have afters up. FYI: they're called SurgiSil PermaLip implants (I alwasy goof the name of them). Here's a video of a gal just getting her's done: http://www.articlesbase.com/videos/5min/114223011
So, I'll keep ya posted on how they look/feel/etc!!!!!!

Pretty nervous about it, more so than the BA, but it'll be great when all is said and done!!
I'll post pictures when I can.

lip augmentation
just had restylane on my top lip 2 days ago. was my second time ,had the dermatologist do it, i just wanted my top lip to be even with my bottom lip, i love it, although it hurts even with the numbing with lidocaine first! but the results look completely natural! however , i am afraid of lumpy lips though from repeated use?

Sophie - as long as the derm smoothed everything out before you left I'd not worry about lumps. The risks with repeated injections (I'm talking over YEARS) is that you can get scar tissue formation and although you don't always see it, you may be able to feel it. The lips become thickened and slightly fibrous. I've always just done the border of my lips and after this many years (5+) I may have a little bit of scar tissue in there but nothing that is disfiguring or that others can see or feel. I see and feel it but I have a trained eye and hand for this stuff so it's easy for me to see/feel.
Glad to hear you're happy with the results you've gotten!!!!

I'm excited for you! I'm wishing you all the best hun. I understand why you would be more nervous. Some little BA imperfection is so easy to hide, but my DH and I are much more hesitant to change something on my face. That's why I've been planning for over a year, but too chicken to go through with it til I see and hear some more testimonials. There's so much reassurance to be had when it comes to BA's, but not enough pix and posts about this. I'm guessing you're going to love it!
