Restylane Injections in lips

Okay, I've finally decided to make the appointment with my Dermatologist for Restylane in my lips. I'm pretty excited because I've been wanting to do this for a long time, but have been talked out of it by friends and family. I have nice shapely lips, but just want to add a little va va voom to them. Lips are the first thing I notice on the face.

Anyway, anyone out there who recently went through this procedure to give me advice before, during and after? The only thing I'm worried about is having "duck lips". I am going to a great doctor who specializes in this procedure, but there is always room to worry.

I was told it could take a week for the swelling to go down and could have some bruising. Other than that, can makeup cover so it won't be noticable that I've had anything done???

Hope someone can help. Thanks.

what is the average cost for the lips?

I've had my lips done a couple of times.  Depending on how much you get is how they determine the price.  The first time I got 1 mL for my upper lip to fill in and define the lip and then I started getting 2 mL for mostly my upper lip, a small scar on my face (above my lip) and a little in my lower lip.  The cost for 1 mL is $425 (my doctor).  It lasts for months and I love it!  I get the dental block because I found it very painful to get the injections without it.  With me it took only a day or two before I was going out again.  I think it's different for everyone.  I did notice that once it was a little lumpy (you couldn't see it, but I felt it) and that went away after a while....no big deal but I had a habit of constantly playing with my new lips.. haha  I would recommend it to friends and family!

This is interesting! Does anyone have any pics to show before & after?

I need about 10 vile because I keep walking into doors - this may help :)
