Having the lines above my top lip filled! eek

Has anyone had this done?

No, am going to park here and watch with interest....

The guy is a surgeon so hope he is good with needles.

Do you mean the nose-mouth 'marionette' lines?

Yes, the lines that are sometimes known as "smokers lines" though am not a smoker. It was a bit painful but he was very quick.

May need a bit more next week but as he said rarther too little than too much which can make it look lumpy.

Have you got any before/after pics?

I have had it done on nose to mouth lines, and to enahnce the contours of my mouth-just make the borders a bit sharper. I was v pleased with the results which lasted around 9 months.

Sorry no pictures available but did have them done at the clinic. I have a few needle marks above the lip but no bruising at all. Quite pleased with the results so far and it was £100 cheaper than another quotation I had.

Worth every penny if it lasts 9 months.

I had it done in July and have been really pleased especially as I don't think it needs re-doing yet (had vaguely thought it would last 6 months). I did have some bruising - had to think of an excuse to family - but would do it again. I was insistent I didn't want that swollen upper lip look, just the lines filled in, and I'd say the effect has been to soften the lines rather than make them disappear altogther.
