'I wanted to look in the mirror and immediately see that something about me was tangibly different.' rosedommu
The first time I had my lips injected with Juvederm — better known to the masses as"fillers" — my doctor asked if I wanted something subtle.won'tLike anyone with an Instagram account, I'd seen my fair share of influencers tagging their go-to dermatologist in gushing sponsored posts gushing about their fillers. I'd seen actors, musicians and drag queens return from a brief social media hiatus with mysteriously fuller lips.
The process of actually getting fillers was both quick and relatively painless. My doctor used a topical numbing agent on my lips, but still he was impressed by how little I flinched when he repeatedly shoved a large syringe into them.In the days following my appointment, my lips were so swollen that I couldn't rub them together to properly distribute lip balm. I was in love. For the first time in my life, my lips were— Angelina Jolie huge, Liv Tyler huge, Amanda Lepore huge.
Not that everyone is looking for subtlety. For Biblegirl,"the first pump was the deepest, for sure. I had a fat lip... I was juiced." Stawecki also went big his first time, although he says doctors in New York are more inclined to aim for a natural look and will advise smaller amounts of Juvederm. Even the people I least expected to notice the change started asking questions. At a family BBQ over the summer, my aunt paused from flipping turkey burgers and confronted me."Have you... done something to your lips?" she asked."They're huge."And not always a positive one. As with any sort of cosmetic enhancement, the advent of fillers has been met with criticism, some of which is grounded in the health risks they present.
There are also more permanent lip plumping options, like silicone implants, but Dhingra doesn't recommend going down this route."It's kind of the old school way of doing things," he says."SIlicone is riskier and can backfire. There are a lot of cases of people reacting badly to the silicone, generating inflammation. It can lead to ulceration and skin breakdown."
