About a week after getting lip fillers, it took on the shape I liked the most.
I’ve always been a bit self-conscious about my lips looking a little thin, so I recently mustered up the courage to get lip fillers. I think I spent almost half a year just debating whether to get the procedure. Since it’s a procedure on the face, I was very worried, and I kept putting it off because I was concerned it might look too unnatural.
During the consultation, the point I emphasized most was that I wanted it to look natural. I felt that overly full lips like those seen on social media wouldn't suit my face, so I requested that they maintain the natural look of my lips while only enhancing the areas that needed improvement.
After applying the numbing cream and waiting, the procedure was performed. Compared to how nervous I was, the pain was better than I expected. Of course, it stung when the needle went in, but it wasn't unbearable, and the procedure didn't take long.
When I first looked in the mirror, I was worried for a moment because it felt a bit excessive due to the swelling, but I was told that it would become natural over time, so I decided to just wait. In fact, the swelling went down a lot after about three days, and the prettiest shape appeared around a week later.
The biggest difference I noticed after getting lip fillers was how I applied lipstick. Even with just a light application, my lips looked much prettier, and my lip line appeared clearer, making makeup more enjoyable. I was also satisfied because my face looked a bit more vibrant in selfies than before.
The only inconvenience was that my lips felt a bit stiff for about a day, and I had to be a little careful when eating hot food. Other than that, there were no major inconveniences in my daily life.
After getting lip fillers, I think I understand a little bit why it is said to be a highly satisfying procedure. It wasn't a huge change, but I felt like even a small change altered the overall vibe of my face. I think it is a highly satisfying treatment for those who, like me, want natural-looking lip volume.
