ok, I am finally gettting back about my Resty. I love it! I had .4 syringe to start and it was enough to even out my lips and add a touch of volume at the outer/upper area. Of course, I decided I wanted more oomph so I went back after 2 weeks for another .4. I would have been better off to get a whole syringe at the beginning b/c I now have a .8 rather than a 1.0 and paid a bit more. My doc warned me that would happen but I didn't listen--hehe.
The swelling is bad for 2 days, I was a bit ducky for about 4 days, and is gone at one week. I am hooked. Hooked, hooked hooked!
Thank gawd I now save $$$ by wearing clip on hair extensions and I now color my own hair b/c that money saved now will be injected into my lips every few months!
What I like best is how the Resty firmed up my lips. I am 40 and suddenly my lips remind me of how they were at 25 only a little better.
I just love what is possible w/ injectables. I now have better cheeks than I did in my 20's, too. And better hair--HA !
I'll keep you posted on how long it lasts.
edit to say that my original lips are small so if someone w/ small lips wants big lips, I feel that one syringe would not be enough. They are just a touch bigger than they were at their prime.

Thanks for that update lucky chick :) im glad it worked out well for you!Yeah im still trying to decide whether to go for restylane or not...its about $300NZ for 0.5ml and $550NZ for 1.0ml so its pretty cheap. I just dont want it to look like ive had the injections lol would you say youve increased your lip size by about 50% with the 0.8ml or less/more?

with collagen I got the best results and it last for a long time, but make sure you are not allergic to it! a friend of my was not able to walk out for several days!
A .8 is not obvious. I really notice it on myself and it is a big improvement but I bet if I hadn't told the world, it wouldn't be obvious to them. Yes they are bigger but not hugely so. Just enough to make a big differencein over all appearance. I bet they are 30% bigger. Since you are younger than me you may get more result b/c no 'correction' needed yet for you, ya know?
Maggie,
I am looking at collagen b/c I can get it a lot cheaper than Resty so I may give it a try. Did you get 1 cc and how many months did you get out if it?
I made an interesting observation this week re: my new lips.
I was looking thru a box of old family pics a few months ago and I was admiring some teen pics of my lips. Even though, this year, I am actually the happiest I have ever been w/ my looks --- in those old pics, my mouth looked sooooooooo much better and I couldn't put my finger on why exactly. I was thinking maybe it was my teeth. ?????. So, anyway, after my Resty my smile has the same 'look' that I was admiring in the pics. Now I realize I had lost some ( a lot of?) forward projection and it was making my smile flat. Oh, I really like this stuff. Just thought I'd share that if any over 35's are interested.
