| I haven't but a girl I work with did. She got them on a Saturday and was pretty much good to go on Sunday - she said after the numbing cream wore off, they were really sore the first day but she didn't ice them like you are supposed to. |

Naturally your top lip is slightly thinner than your bottom lip. Listen to your doctor and keep it as natural as possible. You'll be much happier.  |

| I for sure want to stay pretty natural, just wanting my top lip to be a little more plump and not show my gums when smiling. |

Pineapple does help with swelling! Woman are told to eat or drink juice after child birth to help the recovery process. I would've done it but I despise pineapple anything. |

| I can tell you this from years and years of cosmetic surgery due to a dog bite....NEEDLES HURT LIKE HELL GOING INTO YOUR LIPS!!! Your lips are totally different "material" [or whatever you want to call it, lol] than the rest of your face and skin. |

| I had mine done in January. It wasn't that bad. I barely bruised. They gave me an ice pack after and vitamin k I think to help with bruising. I did Vobella. I just had fine lines around my lips that I wanted improved. No one, not even my husband knows I had it done. I kept my "natural" shape. Goal achieved bc I did it for myself. I also had my parenthesis around my mouth done. Again, no one even knows bc it looks so natural. |

I'm 44 and got it done for first time. It varies in longevity from 9 months to a year or more. Some formulations of Vobella claim to last up to 2 yrs. My lips were $350 but the facility I use was running a special so it was cheaper than normal. Look at Groupon for a good deal in your area |

| I’m 24, this would be the first time doing my lips. I’ve done dysport in certain areas of my face. I’m going to tell them as natural as possible I just don’t want to see me gums when I smile |
