I had 0.5ml in my top lip. I thought about it for a while then decided to go for it. I'm in my mid 40s and do look very young for my age, but have always had a smaller upper lip. I felt with age and getting a chubbier face that my upper lip was getting a little lost and that I was loosing definition in my face as a whole. I was just generally feeling not as young as I used to! Having it done added definition to my lower face.
The absolute best bit of advice I can give you is make sure you choose where you go really really carefully. I didn't know anyone who had it done and I didn't particularly want to advertise it to everyone either!
I spoke to my beautician (I've been going to her for 8 years) and she was able to give me really good advice as her clients tell her about their experiences and where's good, where's not etc. I paid slightly more to go to the place in my nearest town that apparently is the highest rated (well by word of mouth anyway). I also spent ages going through photos of lips on their social media (although obviously any bad treatments won't go on there ☺️).
One thing to be aware of. I was told I may bruise and to have the treatment when I didn't have anything on for around 3 days. When I had the treatment the lady said I bled a lot (much more so than the average person) and that would probably result in bruising. My god it did! It wasn't my lip that bruised, but the area above - for 2 weeks!!! It was black and purple. I had to work from home for a week and then wear really heavy make up for the second week (which didn't really work). I honestly wasn't expecting that and it was difficult to factor into my life. People must have known what I had done. I think I was an unusual case through and people don't normally bruise like this - I was surprised as I didn't think I particularly had a problem with bruising easily.
Mine wore off after 7 months and I miss it. It was very subtle, but made a big difference to how I felt.
Another thing to consider, if you like it, you're going to want to keep having it done. That's a lot of money over time. I really want to have it done again, but I don't have a spare £200 right now and I also don't have a 2 week window to recover from the bruising. I will have it done later this year through. I don't know how I will handle the bruising window through!
Good luck with whatever you decide! Just be really careful about where you go even if it means paying more. In this case I think cheap really isn't good.
