Fran lives in Miami Beach and works in the hospitality industry. She loves to wear make-up and had tried all the tricks in the book for lip contouring. However, it was too time consuming getting it to look natural and it was only an illusion. Instead, she decided to give lip fillers a chance at BCRI. One syringe of Restylane Kysse was injected to her lips. You can see the before and after photos here. Fran quote, “I feel more confident and attractive when I wear lipstick since I had lip fillers done.” Minimal bruising and swelling are expected; however, it subsides within 24-72 hours post treatment. The cost is between $530-$800.
Nikki is a young professional working in the Miami Design District area. Although she’s always felt very confident about her looks, she felt her lips weren’t proportionate with the rest of her face. In addition, she didn’t like the noticeable asymmetry between her top to bottom lip. For these reasons, she chose to get lip fillers with a medical provider at BCRI. One syringe of Restylane Defyne was injected to her lips. You can see the before and after photos here. Nikki quote “I was very pleased with how little to zero downtime there is with lip fillers and got a boost of happiness for under $1000.”
