After getting lip fillers, I think I understood why it is a procedure that people consistently seek out.
One day, when I compared an old photo with a recent one, my lips looked like they had lost a little volume compared to before. Realizing that this kind of change occurs with age, I started looking into lip fillers from that point on.
To be honest, I hesitated a bit at first. I was worried that my lips might become too thick, and I was also concerned that people around me might notice immediately. However, after getting a consultation, I was told that nowadays, it is common to add volume naturally, just to the desired amount, which relieved some of my anxiety.
Before the procedure, I was examined to see which areas needed improvement, and I fully discussed the look I was aiming for. I told them that I wanted a natural result above all else, and rather than being overly ambitious, I requested that they make my lips look like my natural lips.
The procedure was performed after applying anesthetic cream, and it finished much faster than I expected. Contrary to my nervousness, the pain wasn't severe, and I felt at ease as they continuously checked on my condition throughout the process. Afterward, my lips were slightly swollen, but it was to the extent I had anticipated, so I wasn't too surprised.
As a few days passed, the swelling subsided and the shape of my lips gradually became more natural, and from then on, my satisfaction grew. My lip line looked distinct even without applying lipstick, and when I did wear makeup, it felt like my overall look came alive much more.
What I was most satisfied with was that it is barely noticeable. People around me just asked if I had changed my makeup style, and nobody knew I had had a procedure done haha.
After getting lip fillers, I somewhat understood why so many people come back for it after their first experience. It wasn't a huge change, but it felt like it naturally altered the overall look of my face, so personally, I was very satisfied with the procedure.
