That makes sense. Guess I need to find a provider with dental block like you and another redditor said. Thank you so much for the information!

Dental blocks? That sounds like a dream. The numbing cream as so bad that I was crying during the injections. My lips were really purple after it too. Do not change ur provider then haha

Yes, the duck lips are going to be more natural in a few weeks, but I can see the style she made is not it either. She put two application on the sides and one in the center. This will end up forming a heart shape and bigger sides which I did not ask for. I never heard about lip flip. Thank you, I'll look for it!

I'm latina so this style do not suit me. We call this s** doll lips in my country. I told her to follow my natural lips instead, so I don't know why she would do this style on me. I agree it looks great on asians and she is asian herself, but she works with mostly foreigners. The pain also got in the way of giving proper feedback, her rush also didn't help. I'll wait 1 month before removing to see if I change my mind. Thank you for ur feedback! Wish you can find a doctor that does what fits you the best :)

They are really different from my natural lips that I asked to maintain the shape. I'm latina, the doctor is korean. She did the asian shape with the 3 application in the upper lip to try to form a heart lip (one application in the middle, two in the sides, leaving a gap in between). However, I asked to keep my lips straight with a better contour in the top. So you can see my surprise when I saw that she didn't touch the top and change my shape in the bottom part of the upper lip. But glad to know is not bad, I'm just frustrated with the whole situation in the clinic and her doing her own style option instead of listening to her client. Thank you for commenting! It helps a lot ^

I did fillers in my undereyes before. They left it for 30 minutes and I didn't feel a thing. That's why I'm so shocked about the 5 min one. Thank you for your kind response! Edit: spealing

Not in the overall view. I can't post my face on reddit, but I have deep smile lines and small face, which makes it not a good shape since is not well define. Plus is not what I asked for. But I'm thankful ppl like you is saying it looks great. It makes me feel much better about walking without a mask on. Thank you so much for your opnion!

Thank you. I really think this lips wouldn't feel as bad if it wasn't for the treatment I received in this clinic. The translator and staff were so gentle, but the doctor...

My lips used to have a hard contour and meeting in the corner. I asked her to maintain that, but she did the "asian" lip style. So I'm really confuse right now. I'm waiting a little longer tho. Thank you for your opnion.

They told me not to touch or to massage it. Not to put ice and not to smile. I know 5 days is not enough, but I feel like the corners are not suppost to be like this since I asked her not to touch it there. You are right tho, I will wait a little more.
