My lips were not especially thin, but I lacked overall volume T_T Especially, the lip shape looked a bit plain, so even with lip makeup it did not come out as pretty as I had hoped..! So instead of just making my lips thicker, I looked into fillers because I wanted to refine the overall shape while adding the volume I was missing. I had a consultation at Dress, and when I explained the look I wanted, they said they would focus on balancing the overall shape by checking my natural lip shape rather than just adding a lot of volume. I went thinking only about lip filler, but they said that if they also shaped the corners of the mouth, the result would look even more polished, so I decided to get the lip filler set. It was pretty busy, so the wait was a little long T_T But when I had questions during the consultation, they explained things in detail, so that was fine...!! The treatment included lip filler, mouth-corner filler, and mouth-corner Botox all together! They refined the overall lip shape, filled in the missing volume, and adjusted the mouth corners at the same time, so it matched the direction I wanted really well haha Right after the procedure, there was of course swelling, so my lips looked a bit puffy, but once the swelling went down, they looked much more natural. The pain was more bearable than I expected, and the doctor worked quickly, so it did not take long lol Right now, my lip line is defined more clearly than before, and the flat areas have naturally gained volume, so I like it. I did not want my lips to look extremely plump, and I wanted to avoid an overly obvious result, but it seems to have come out at exactly the level I wanted! Since they also adjusted the mouth corners, my face seems to look a little softer even when I am expressionless ^^ The one change in my lips seems to have had a pretty big effect on my whole facial mood. They look clearer in photos too, so lately I am much happier with lip makeup than before!
