hello everyone i m kiki
Today i m sharing my experience with lip fillers！
if you are thinking about lip fillers, watch this video!
cuz it ll be really helpful
first, i want to talk about why i chose to get lip fillers
there are 3 reasons
1. my mouth is small
normally when people smile, they show 8 teeth, but i can only show 6 teeth
my mouth is just small
like the portion of my mouth looks small on my face
so like the proportion of the features on my face looks kinda off (small mouth makes my nose look big)
2. my mouth looks shriveled
when you hear "shriveled", you probably think if this person is unhealthy or dehydrated
even though i am not, i drink lots of water
but my lips just look shriveled
and when your lips are shriveled, you don't look sexy
sexy comes from fuller and juicy lips
3. the shape of my lips are not very defined
when i do my makeup, i always have to draw lip liners
otherwise, my lips will have bad shapes and unclear lines
so if you have those concerns too, you can consider getting lip fillers
cuz getting lip fillers solved all my problems
now my lips are bigger, the proportion of my face features looks so much better now
my lips dont look too small anymore
and my lips dont look shriveled anymore, i can just put on any lip balm and my lips just look plump
and now my lips look so juicy and sexy
they look so great on my photos
and i dont need to draw lip liners anymore!
i just wear any lipsticks casually, i dont need those makeup techniques to make to my lips look fuller
so getting lip fillers really did me good
i m very happy with my lip fillers
now i ll talk about my experience
i got 1 syringe
the units are usually 1 or 2 syringe
you can also get 0.5 syringe
but the results might not be very obvious
i got 1 syringe of this brand
what's it called
i dont know how to pronounce it.. restylane kysse
now sure if that's how you say it
this filler is specially designed for lips
the nurse told me if she would get lip fillers she would use this brand
since it is designed to be used on lips, it considers softness
and adding volume
and there is another popular brand: juvederm
you ve probably heard of it, it's a really good brand and expensive
they are both very good. either is fine
but why i still chose restylane kysse?
since its designed for lips, it's softer than juvederm
juvederm is good for shaping
like if you want a very structured cupid's bow, juvederm might be better
cuz it's firmer and better for shaping
but either is fine. it's not gonna be that much of difference. they are both very good brands
restylane kysse is designed for natural looking results
it's very very natural
if i dont tell you, you probably cant tell if i've had lip fillers
cuz it's super nartural. but if you see the before and after photo, you can tell the difference
right? very natural
i was looking for a natural looking result
like you can barely tell if i had lip fillers
i just wanted a bit volume and shape
i wasnt looking for very big lips
that's not what i was going for. just a bit volume is fine
and let's talk about the cost. the price for restylane kysse is $750/syringe
and clinical trial says that it will last 1 year
so it lasts longer than cheaper fillers ( usually it lasts 6 months)
and juvederm costs $780/syringe
they are about the same price and duration
so whichever you choose is ok
based on your own preference
some people may prefer juvederm cuz it's better known
and it's up to you if you want to touch up after 6-9 months
cuz it'll start to resolve after that and you might want to get more
i went to LV Med Spa to get it done (in Toronto)
and you can use my code lvspakiki to get 10% off
so if you want to get lip fillers, you can go there
and note that i bought 1 syringe but i got it done in 2 sessions
cuz injecting lip fillers needs to be done very carefully
after my first session, i wasn't felling much, like i wasn't entirely satisfied
you need to let the fillers settle a bit and see where you need more
cuz it's hard to tell at the moment, it s all swollen
it's safer to get it done in 2 sessions
if you want to get lip fillers, i suggest you find someone who's very careful and patient and willing to do it in 2 sessions
that way it will turn out more natural
after the second visit, i was really happy with the result
and how does it feel? tbh, it hurt a lot
i had the numbing cream for 20 min + , it still hurt a lot
but whatever, beauty is pain... can't remember how many times i ve said that
it hurt a lot, hope you are prepared (tears dancing in my eyes)
and bruising and swelling are very normal
and note that you cant kiss after getting lip fillers
cuz it might move the fillers
yea just dont kiss (for at least a week)
and you can feel little bumps on your lips
but they ll go away after 1 week or 2
after your lips absorb the fillers, the feeling of bumps will disappear
it ll be normal, and these are normal reactions
it has some recovery time
bobo's sleeping this whole time lol
bobo~ so cute~
another thing i want say is that
i went there with some pics i found online
hoping i could get the same results
but it didnt turn out like that
i want to address why this would happen
cuz everyone's lips are different, the shape, structure, the muscles, tissues
maybe you want them to look like this
like i wanted very defined cupid's bow, but i couldn't get that
cuz my lips aren't structured like that, i sort of have a straight line there
so it's hard for me to get that
it's like, you want to dye your hair to this color you found online
but you can never get the exact same color
so be aware that you might not get the exact same results you expect
honestly, any cosmetic procedures
you dont have to get the perfect results like what's shown online
as long as you look better than before, it's good enough
at least that's how i think. even though my lips dont look like the pics i found online
i m still very satisfied, tbh. I look better than before lol, i m happy
and after the procedure, the nurse told me dont study your lips
dont keep staring at your lips and think that there's something off, some asymmetry
you need more here and there... it's never gonna be perfect
it's never gonna be perfectly symmetrical
like your eyebrows, they are never gonna be symmetrical, never
and your eyes are never gonna be perfectly symmetrical
don't be too obsessive
as long as you look better than before, you should be very happy
i hope you can have a positive mindset on your way to beauty
dont be obsessive
dont try be to perfect
otherwise you might be too much, you might go over
another thing, i said i bought 1 syringe, but in the end i only used 0.9
why? cuz at that time, it's good enough
don't go over for that 0.1
it's not that you must to use up every drop of it
it's not like that. if it's enough, then stop
you dont have to put everything in, just cuz you bought 1 syringe
you need to hold back a littble bit. it's better to be less rather than over do it
that's all i want to say
if you have more questions, you can dm me on instagram (kikiliberty)
