larger lips....

Besides restalyne, which I get every year.... as mentioned earlier I had gortex... (string) drawn through the inside of my lips.... worked great, wish I had gotten more.... Anyway, I'm seeing more and more of the 'pie surgery' out in Calif...... if done correctly, it is definitely worth it for pemanency.... However, if done badly.... then it looks like Melanie Griffith!!!  yulk..... the INSIDE of her upper lip is exposed constantly..... I'd like to know her surgeon........ awful job....

ok, I am interested in this lip pump.  I have heard of it but was afraid it would be hard on the tissues, ya know? I may try it now.  I have my first Resty lips appt June 20 but maybe I should try this first!  Hmmmmmm

Hey lucky chick, that would be awesome! Yeah im debating whether i should get restalyne but after what ive read about the uneven result im kinda put off! will be cool to see how well the pump works on your lips =)

Lol yeah im in the process of figuring out which extensions i am going to purchase :D bring on the jessica simpson tresses!! oooo cheeks, i havent heard of sculptra is it any good? I presume it enhances your cheek bones? must be pretty $$$!

I had fusion extensions (well very stiff plastic bonds) which i HATED, they were so horrible and the hair was just disgusting (very very poor quality). Had them taken out the next day, i think it was partly because the salon was very inexperienced that they were so bad. Im thinking ill get microlinks with the next lot :) fingers crossed they turn out better! How did your fusion extensions work out?
The sculptra looks interesting, i hadnt heard of it before you mentioned it. Will have to look into it some more. I could do with some decent cheekbones! If plastic surgery was guaranteed to be fail-proof and perfect everytime i could quite easily go nuts lol but yeah, theres way too much room for error its just not worth it for some procedures.

Wow it actually worked! lol im always sceptical about this sorta stuff, bought some Stung off ebay and it does work but it stings too much to reapply every few hours :/ Pics would be awesome if you find the time =)
I didnt know it came with a money back guarantee? thats always a good thing, problem with that is i dont live in the states so by the time it would get to me 2 weeks would already be up! i didnt even check if they would post worldwide, im sure they will though.
I think theres vanity in everyone Im on a quest to look as "perfect" as i can lol theres no such thing as perfection but im gonna try to get as close as possible. Had my nose done a couple of months ago, and while i wouldnt go overboard with plastic surgery lips would be something else i would consider! I didnt actually know you could widen lips with restalyne-good to know though in case the luscious lips dont work out. I wonder if with time it will actually help you grow more lip tissue lol you know like the brava breast enlargement system works?? now that would be great!
Changing hair length is fun, though ive had quite long hair for the last 5 years (all one length-very boring and its always tied up! lol).
Yeah i was looking at clip ins as well cos i intend to colour my hair and regrowth will be hard to re-dye if i have extensions in, but im going to have to work around it lol I did lose out when i had mine done, i could have complained and gotten a full or partial refund (i went to a salon that does great lengths for a 2nd opinion and they told me to go back and complain) but im not the complaining sort, i dont really like making a fuss lol so i acted like i liked them and went back the next day and had them taken out, told them it was because i was going blonde (which i am) and the extensions would have died if they had been bleached. I have a few hairdresser friends so i'll make sure they know to tell their clients if they want extensions to go to the place that does greatlengths and not anywhere else (we only have two extension salons in my town).
You live and learn though =) so im asking lots of questions about this next set im going to have put in!!

Yeah that would be my concern as well. When im 50 i dont want to have these thin wrinkly lips because of something i used to plump my lips up in my 20's! Id say its good for a quick fix, but not something you could use long term.
They say the result of resty is in the hands of the person doing it, which makes sense. I am going to request lots of before and after pics before going ahead with it if i decide to do so (atm looks like a good/only option lol). I liked Meg Ryans lips before the implants, now they just look fake...there is definitely a thin line between natural and fake in the lip enhancement sector!
95% happy with my nose (id say im harder to please than your average joe lol) its only been 2 1/2 months since i had it done, so will have to wait at least 6 for it to settle properly. It is definitely better than my original nose though! I hated it since i was 11. Besides lips or cheeks, theres nothing else i would want done. Bigger boobs would be nice, but i wouldnt get implants they just wouldnt feel right. Like you said, when the time comes for face lifts, bring it on i say! i dont see anything wrong with altering yourself in moderation its when you start obsessing and going OTT that everything starts to look yick.
I think i might investigate the resty option more thoroughly, are you going to have a pre-appt? and discuss what you want done? or does that just happen on the day you go to have it done?

Youre lucky you have someone you can trust! lol im not sure that my cosmetic surgeon does restylane lips (i think he works on the invasive side of things).

Lynn,

hmmm, sounds like a lot for one lip.  I would think one syringe would be enough for one lip???  I'll let you know about mine and if I get any result from one half syringe.

I also had fat injected in my lips and it lasted me very long time.
