I really want 0.5/1ml doing. My bottom lip is OK but it’s my top lip that disappears when I smile with teeth so I don’t smile like that lol. Silly I know. I have a friend who is talking me out of it, but I think it would give me confidence

Second this 100%. I was wary about having 1ml as I already have decent sized lips. But I was advised that having 0.5ml won’t show much and if you’ve got bigger lips anyway then they can take 1ml, and this was bang on for me. I wouldn’t bother with 0.5ml, it’s too expensive for it not to show much afterwards.
I don’t like needles much, although I’m not terrified, I do kind of jump away if I see them
I just said to her to tell me when she was getting the needle so that I could close my eyes then. And I just kept my eyes closed for the whole treatment. They’d rather you do that than risk an incident like you jump and it goes into the wrong place or something, it was totally fine.
I'm new to deciding I would like some lip fillers too. I am a smoker so have some creases in my lips, they are relatively full but I just want them plumped to smooth them out if anything. I dont want anything drastic. However I have a scar in the middle of my bottom lip, could this effect results at all if anyone knows? Also I had no idea dentists and doctors (surely this is not your regular doctor is it? Sorry to sound dumb!) do them either, do all dentists offer this?
Not sure re the scar but re dentists - filler is a bit odd in England because there’s actually no regulation about who can perform filler treatments. This means you could get a dentist/Doctor/nurse who has done the training do it, but equally you get nail technicians do it on the side. I chose to go with a nurse who does filler half the week and works in the NHS the rest of the time. I wouldn’t go for someone like a dentist as they don’t do filler as their ‘main’ job and the worst lips I’ve seen have actually been done by dentists. You want someone who is not only trained in the safety (so I wouldn’t go to someone who is a beautician by trade and has done a bit of filler training) but also the aesthetics. It’s worth doing a lot of research because if it goes wrong the consequences can be horrific. Nurses and doctors do tend to cost more, I paid £250 for 1ml when I know there’s nail techs etc around me who offer 1ml for £120 but I would never ever go with someone who doesn’t have at least some medical background personally.
i got 0.5 in each lip but you literally cannot tell the difference. My lips were big anyway i just hated that when i smiled they always seemed to disappear!
Thinking of going to get 1ml but i feel like that will then look blow up doll esque
and i also dont want the pain again!!

and i also dont want the pain again!!If you've got big lips you'll be able to take 1ml, don't worry! I was the same and I wanted to get 0.5ml because I didn't want it to look fake, but she advised me to get 1ml and I'm sooo glad she did. She told me 0.5ml would look great while swollen then once it's gone back down you won't notice it, and my friend had 0.5ml then went back not too long after because it wasn't enough. I need a top up actually but I'm being a wimp, even though I know it didn't hurt much it's just the thought of iti got 0.5 in each lip but you literally cannot tell the difference.

I haven’t had mine done but my friend does fillers as well as being a qualified nurse. According to her, scars can impact your results. Like you could even have scar tissue sort of underneath from falling as a child or whatever that you wouldn’t know about but could make your lips wonky if you get fillers
. It’s the one thing that really puts me offI’ve got a scar on my bottom lip at one side where I had stitches when I was little. Never been an issue.
I previously went to an ex army medic she was so so good then she moved cities and stopped doing it
then I researched and researched and now drive 2/3 hours to see someone else as I didn’t like anyone else in my cities work. My new girl is a qualified dentist but now most of her work is aesthetics and she’s a trainer for other aesthetic practioners. I agree with others I won’t go to my normal dentist or doctor who only do it 2-3 times a year.

The first time I was worried about having so much and looking like Pete burns but I found once the swelling went down they looked full but still pretty natural. Probably going to have another ml before Christmas as it’s been nearly a year since I had any.
Have 1ml into top and bottom lip!
My first time I said my bottom lip was fine so she put 0.5ml mostly in the top and I found my top lip stood out abit more....was more firm plump...hard to explain! didn’t look bad and no one could notice it apart from me but looks a lot better shared between both lips!!x

I'm planning on getting them for Christmas 
I’ve booked in to have mine done next month, I’m so excited!
Really check who you go with. Don’t choice based on price/Instagram. Mine is not cheap, but I agree with another post check out your dentist if they do it.
Also go for a ml as again like past quoted half a mil will look more when swollen but you’ll really not noticed a different PENDING you are after but you won’t notice massive difference with one go. Once your number with cream it’s more a Sharp scrape Feeling not painful as you’d expect.
Again please read up about who you go with if not at dentist. Some of these Instagram Facebook accounts Aren’t always experienced. Although before anyone says you can suffer a bad job from anyone

Do it! This is the main reason I had mine done and I’m so pleased I took the plunge x
I smoked for a few years, off them now, but feel like I have the smoker lines, would filler smooth them out? Any advice?
A friend of mine gets them done for this reason
Did anyone else find it extremely painful..
I think I might ask for money towards some for Xmas/Birthday (birthday is 2 week after Christmas) rather than presents. I was in the gym today infront of a mirror and thought my lips would look more in-proportion with my face if they were slightly bigger.
Silly question but for anyone whose had fillers, can you feel your lips afterwards? 
Not just initially but weeks and months afterwards or do you lose some sensation? Thanks
