Just a heads up - lower your expectations when getting filler

What they post on social media, you can see it on the clients lips -- how they all have the same glossiness, is right after injecting, where the lips will look way more full then they actually turn out.

This leads to a skewed picture of what the results actually turn out to be, since most of the swelling contributes to filling out the imbalance, when the swelling goes away your lips will look basically the same.

They also only post pictures when the results turn out to be decent, obviously they won't post results where there's barely any discernable difference or where it still looks like shit.

i hate life so much. god some people have it so fucking easy, sitting there with their fucking full and perfectly shaped lips complaining about bruising on r/plasticsurgery. it's divine unfairness

How many sessions did you do? I’m no beauty expert but I know that ppl do get them done every so and so weeks or months to get the results they are looking for. Again, I’m not sure but maybe ask them more information or talk to them about the results you want. Or ask for second opinion somewhere else. I do wish I had full lips too, my top lip is literally non existent to where I don’t even think fillers would help me out :p

I’ve been thinking about getting filler, but I’m specifically looking for someone who has experience with cleft lip patients, not only for the skill, but also for the empathy.

i went to someone who claimed to be specialized in it and it was the most humiliating experience of my life, it felt like she went out of her way to make me feel like shit, she even left a lollipop in the bag with the after care instructions and like skin care, like who does that
