Sexy Lips......... In 15 minutes...

Lips... Lips... Lips..... Everyone is so obsessed with lips. Which is why cosmetic companies make so much creating lipstick and lip conditioners from various types to various colours. When a person looks into your face, the 1st thing that catches their attention would be eyes than lips, hence it is normal for us to want to have perfect lips. But lipsticks can only play with colours and some enhancement which is gone by the end of the day. And as we age, our lips start losing its shape, colour and more wrinkles are seen, especially if we smoke. So what can we do? Fillers of course. But which one?

Lip filling with fillers is not really something new. It has been around from years and was especially rampant in the United States. But in the past, most people used silicone or collagen lip fillers and the idea of enhancement was to have bigger lips. But bigger did not always meant better.

(Borrowed From Top 10 Worst Celebrity Jobs)


Looking at the celebrity botch jobs makes people feel scared to even think to try, but we all know that when it comes to tabloid, everything is blown big out of proportions. The other issue when dealing with lips is pain as the lip receives multiple nerve supplies in the face hence explain why the lips is a very sensitive organ. The saying before Beauty is pain. I personally do not believe that.

Which is why when Juvederm came out with their XC brand, I was excited. So what is Juvederm? Juvederm is a brand of hyaluronic acid filler which claims to be the number 1 brand in the world. Now they have preparations with lignocaine premixed in the syringe to reduce pain and inflammation. I have been using Juvederm for years, and it is my filler of choice when it comes to dealing with lips because of less problems when it comes to lumpiness. (Yes, fillers can get lumpy at times). Plus it softens within 2 weeks and now with lignocaine in it makes it less painful. Prior to this, I would need to give a complete nerve block around the lips which would involve additional 7 injections to get a good block - but with this, I have an option to reduce the block injections or not use blocks at all. (For first timers, I'd rather use blocks)


Furthermore, since it is a very soft and smooth product we can inject with a small 30G needle to allow better control and shaping. It is FDA approved to last 12 months, so for a non-permanent filler, this is ideal. Yay, great - now we have no pain and temporary. What else to consider?

Before you want to get your lips done, you need to have a clear idea what you want or at least discuss it with your doctor. From my observation, most young ladies prefer to increase the size, and more matured ladies prefer to return their original shape. Having a non-permanent filler the first time round is good, as you will have a look and feel of how it will be in case you do not like the change. I would normally advise, less is more. Its never good to look done, the more natural it appears makes a lot of diference. How many syringes? Usually for lip defining and contouring takes only 1, but if you are thinking of adding up volume then maybe 2 or more. How much is it? Well in US roughly around $600++. In Malaysia, the price starts RM 1500 onwards for the XC range. In proper hands, you can get marvelous results.
