My small, narrow mouth usually stressed me out. My lips are thin and small horizontally, so they don't have volumeㅜㅜ There's a limit to how much I can overdo it with makeup, and it's a lot of work to fix it every time, so I thought I'd rather get lip filler, so I made an appointment at a local dermatologist!
My face is dense and slightly large, so I was worried that my lips would be too much, so I didn't want them to look heavy and obvious to everyone. I think that rather than looking pretty, it's best to fix everything *to match the harmony of your face*,
so since it was my first time working on my face, I emphasized naturalness during the consultation! I brought photos from the hospital's reviews that looked natural. Since it was my first time, I just used domestic products, and among the domestic products, Neuramis, Renafil? It was like this, so I looked into Neuramis and was going to use this, but the director said that Lena 3 is usually used for beginners, but since it was the first time I heard of this drug, I just went with the famous Neuramis (I looked it up and found that Neuramis is the most basic, has few side effects, and has good durability). When I looked into it, Lenafil was a drug that had only been out for a short time and had almost no reviews, so I felt a bit hesitant about recommending this.
I knew that I had to use it regularly until my lips grew bigger for the first time, so I was worried about the side effects and it was burdensome to put in a lot of medicine from the beginning. Since my lips are so small to begin with, if I put in too much, it would be like a duck's mouth.. The director said that I should put in 1cc and that if I put in less, it wouldn't be noticeable later, but the director didn't want to put it all in and that I wanted it to look natural, so I put in only 0.5cc.
The place I went to was a factory-style place, so the director's first impression was that I was younger than I thought? You looked tired. Since it was my first time, I was worried because you just nodded and didn't seem to listen to my requests when I was getting ready. When you looked me in the eye and looked at my lips, my body was stiff and I was really nervous, so you smiled and that's when I felt like you were being sincere. By the way,
I also got botox on the corners of my mouth and chin, but you first got botox on my chin and corners of my mouth. You said, "This is the most painful thing I've ever had, haha." I asked, "Really..?" And I was relieved, but that was just her words to ease my tension. The pain from lip filler isn't unbearable, but I'm a very timid person who jokes around a lot and is very scared, so it really hurt. (I heard that Neuramis contains a small amount of anesthesia, but how painful are the other medicines..?) The director must have seen how nervous I was because he kept giggling during the procedure...ㅋㅋ It was a little embarrassing, but I think that was a little reassuring because he spoke in detail, saying "It stings" every time he put the needle in, as if he was talking to a child. After the procedure was over, she carefully applied ointment and said, "It's over quickly, right?! You worked hard~" before leaving.
I just found out about this, but she also gave me a prescription for two days. After getting it, it still hurt a lot, and I would groan whenever my lips were tired when I was eating, but thanks to the medicine, it's thankfully not painful at all on the third day. The pain was so bad after getting it that I thought I'd bruise, but I didn't.
It's different for everyone, but I'm diligently following the precautions because they say lip filler falls out quickly, and I'm trying not to put anything hot in my mouth. I'm so satisfied now!! The swelling has gone down compared to the beginning, but it's still chubby. Even if it goes down more, I think it's a hundred, a thousand times better than not getting it done. I thought a lot about whether or not I should get it retouched, but I'm worried about my philtrum drooping, so I'm not going to get it done yet. Also,
when I smile, my front teeth show clearly, and the corners of my mouth have gone up, so even if I smile slightly, my lips look cute. I feel like my face has become naturally prettier without ruining the harmony of my face. ㅎㅎ I'm not sure if anyone is curious about my review, but I did it in Daejeon. If you live in Daejeon, leave a comment and I'll give you some info!
