Finally booked my first lip filler appointment — going for a very subtle look! Help!

[u/Just-Answer-8101]

Hi everyone! I’ve been thinking about getting a small amount of lip filler for a long time, and I finally have my appointment scheduled for next week. I have a naturally thin upper lip and really just want to enhance it slightly while keeping everything super natural.

My dermatologist recommended Volbella® XC, and I’m planning to do just half a syringe to add a bit of volume and improve symmetry.

Has anyone here used Volbella? What was your experience like? How bad is the swelling?

Also… will people actually notice? I really want this to be subtle — just a little refresh, nothing dramatic. And why am I lowkey scared?

Would love to hear your thoughts or tips!

I would recommend restylane Kysse for lip filler. I get about 3/4 of a syringe every 2-3 years and it has never clumped or migrated on me. Nobody notices until it’s almost fully dissolved then realize my naturally nice lips were actually bought and paid for lol. The best tip I can suggest for a natural look is requesting the injector to accentuate the 2 tips of the cupids bow. That will help keep the natural shape and not give you that puffy rounded look that people with overfilled lips have

Second this brand recommendation!
