The first thing I noticed was... the volume wasn't just standing out in the center, but was balanced on both sides. So it doesn't look excessive, yet the lines feel clearly defined. The texture was also comfortable, without any unnatural feel. The procedure itself was less burdensome than I expected, and since there was almost no stinging, it felt like it was over in no time. When I checked my eyes right after, I knew it was exactly the direction I wanted, so that was the biggest plus for me. Lately, the color seems to show up better when I apply lip products, so that makes a subtle difference, and my lips tend to look less flat in photos as well. The package included treatment for both the lips and the corners of the mouth, and it also included a touch-up. During the consultation, they told me I could take my time with other areas, so for now, I'm just going with my current look.
