Yes, I know. I knew someone would say that. I decided to post only photos of real people, and not the horror shows we are seeing from hollywood. The reason I chose that photo is because I've noticed everyone on these boards saying that the injections look bad because they are overdone and aren't subtle enough. Well, this one is subtle. It accentuates the shape of her lips just slightly, and that is enough. I think you would find that the shape would be the same with lipstick or without, however I really wish both photos were without lipstick. The whole point is to show the difference, and putting lipstick on only makes people question it.

The bottom photo is about the equivalent of only 1 cc. of restylane. I know, because I have that amount injected. I've suffered from chronic and severely chapped and dehydrated lips for too long, and nothing I tried helped the condition. My lips were looking crinkly and had lost some of their body. I don't know why anyone with healthy or full lips would inject them, but they do, which is ridiculous. I only wanted to restore mine to their former shape and size, and it worked beautifully. They look fantastic and I don't regret it at all. I don't know why so many celebrities end up looking like horrible freaks even though they supposedly have access to the very best doctors. Something is definitely wrong in tinseltown. But don't make the mistake of thinking that all lip injections look bad just because they and their docs use such bad taste and poor judgement.
