Silicon Lip Enhancement

Postby tinylips » Sun Jun 20, 2010 6:43 pm

Hello,
I am interested in silicon lip enhancement to make my lips a little fuller and more defined. I have lips so small and thin that they are almost not even there, and my goal is to enhance them enough to balance out the bottom half of my face. I used a virtual program online with one of my photos to get an idea of how I want them to look, and I can email you these pictures to help clarify. I don't want them huge, just fuller but at the same time natural looking. I have tried 1cc of Juvederm about a year ago, and the results only lasted what seemed like a month, so I definitely want something permanent. Can I have a consult the same day prior to the procedure or over the phone? I live in the San Antonio area, so I will be driving up from here. I look forward to meeting with you, thanks so much!

yes, you can send me photos and yes you can have a consult and treatment the same day. the hardest thing with silicone to do (even harder than juvederm) is to roll a non-existent lip and make it into a vertically full lip. if you have a little bit of red showing, that may be enough to roll the lip up but if there is no visible red lip showing that is much harder. as you know, i am a big lower lip fan in that it is the main way that i make women look softer, more feminine and still natural no matter what age. the lower lip also in general rolls out better than the top lip so you might get more bang for your buck. let me see you to give you proper advice so you would know what to expect with your investment.
look forward to meet you,

hi,
i have reviewed your photos. the photos you have sent me as far as your morphing do not seem unreasonable. i think but cannot promise that i can deliver on that. again, i need to see you in person. as you may know, i always want my work to age well. you are on the younger side of things (23) meaning that i do not like to make aggressive lips that look good in youth then do not look natural when you age. what you are asking for in the photo i believe will age well. we can talk about that more when we meet.
best,
