When this wee diamond first came to me two years ago, we weren't exactly starting with a blank canvas ๐ฌ.
There was ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ป๐ถ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ณ๐ถ๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐บ๐ถ๐ด๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป, distortion of the natural lip shape, a Sub Q filler had previously been used in the lips, AND her lip blush extended outside the natural lip border (pictured below )
So naturally, I suggested dissolving.
Naturally, ๐ฆ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ก'๐ง ๐ช๐๐ก๐ง ๐ง๐ข. ๐
After some gentle persuasion (and by gentle persuasion I mean negotiations that probably should've involved solicitors ๐
) she reluctantly agreed to let me dissolve the top lip only.
We decided to leave the existing filler in the bottom lip to gradually break down on its own, occasionally adding a little filler into the central portion only to subtly start changing the shape.
Then, over several appointments, we slowly rebuilt the lips.
She ๐๐ข๐ฉ๐๐ฆ ๐ฎ ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ด ๐น๐ถ๐ฝ. That's her preference and absolutely her prerogative. Not everyone's cup of tea, BUT she likes 'her' tea with milk and 8 sugars ๐คญ๐ค
Unfortunately for her, she also has an injector who knows the word ๐ก๐ข. ๐
Fast-forward two years and somewhere between dissolving, rebuilding, endless debates over how much filler she's โ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ดโ and her repeatedly trying to bully me into doing exactly what she wants ๐โฆ this woman has somehow become so much more than a client ๐ซถ โค๏ธ
We've built the most amazing relationship, which does make our filler appointments particularly entertainingโฆ ๐
It goes a little something like this :
๐๐ฒ๐ฟ: โI'm having 1ml.โ
๐ ๐ฒ: โNo.โ
๐๐ฒ๐ฟ: โYes I am.โ
๐ ๐ฒ: โNo you're not.โ
๐๐ฒ๐ฟ: โWell put it here instead thenโฆโ
๐ ๐ฒ: โAlso no.โ
๐๐
She regularly attempts to badger me into giving her more filler, tells me exactly how much she requires AND occasionally tries to tell me where she'd like me to put it ๐

Somehow, despite this, she keeps coming back. And I genuinely wouldnt have it , or her , any other way โค๏ธ
There hadn't been any filler added since last year so when I finally agreed it was time for a little top-up recently, you'd have thought she'd won the lottery. ๐๐
And here we are, two years laterโฆ
The lip-blush pigment is unfortunately still sitting outside the natural lip border - something filler can never correct, this would require pigment removal to properly address.
But look beyond the pigment and compare the ๐๐๐ง๐จ๐๐ ๐ฆ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ข๐ ๐ง๐๐๐ฆ๐ ๐๐๐ฃ๐ฆ from where we began to how they are now ๐
๐๐๐๐๐. ๐๐ก๐. ๐๐๐๐๐ฆ๐. ๐๐ผ
Still full and still a ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฃ, because that's what she loves. No longer the flat, distorted shape we started with.
Over time we've gradually created ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป, ๐๐๐ฟ๐๐ฐ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ, while being very selective about ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ป, ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ต๐ผ๐ ๐บ๐๐ฐ๐ต filler is actually added.
Creating a beautiful bigger lip isn't about continually adding more filler.

And i have no doubt- at her next appointment she'll once again inform me that she's having 1ml.
