I had mine done about 2 weeks ago. Honestly, she gave me 4 dental blocks/anasthetic injections, and they didn't do A THING. I get dental work done without any painkillers/numbing, and the restalyne was pretty bad. However, the nurse did say she's never come across someone the dental blocks didn't work on, so I think I just need heaps more than the usual person, so don't be too frightended. Moving along
I only used half a syringe, as I was pretty happy with my lips anyway. I did most in the upper lip, some in the bottom centre of my lip. She did hit a vein, and that was a bit more swollen than the rest. The first few days i LOVED it, I didn't do too much, my sisters said I should've gone for the fake look, so I assumed it wasn't noticeable. However, when I saw a close friend and my nail technician, they noticed, so perhaps this was enough.
I do have a coupla complaints. I still have a little lump where she hit my vein, its slightly highlighted the uneveness of my top lip only to me, (people insist Im insane, i just know what i look like is all
), and i feel like the results aren't noticeable already. This may be because I'm already use to it, but I'll ask when I go back next. Next time, I'd prob get juvaderm, yes, its more expensive, but its apparently more pliable and soft, I get little lumps of restalyne which I have to massage as they feel hard sometimes. I say go hard or go home lol, if i didnt have such a serious job, I'd prob walk around looking like steve tyler in the lip department
