Posted January 14, 2013 in Blog, Lip Augmentation

It’s always nice to start a Monday morning on a positive note. We received this email this morning from a patient whom we have been treating for years with BOTOX® Cosmetic and fillers, but she was always very reluctant to do anything with her lips for fear of having that “obvious” lip augmentation appearance.

Last week, after closely examining our office staff members whose lips we have treated, she agreed to a conservative lip augmentation injection with JUVEDERM®. We used a cannula to inject a conservative amount of JUVEDERM® a few days ago. As with anything in plastic surgery, less is usually more, one should not have the obvious “plastic look”, especially with lips. After her treatment, when given the mirror to look at her lips, our patient said, “Oh, my daughter is going to know!” We asked that she call us and let us know.

Here is her email today: ” Hi Dr. Persky,

Just wanted to tell you I love my lips and my daughter did not notice until I told her. I could probably even add a little more to my upper lip but I’m hesitant to do it.

And…I got carded – twice – Saturday night thanks to you!

Thanks for everything,”
Be well.
