Silicone Lip Injections Scar Lisa Rinna

When we think of Lisa Rinna, two words usually come to mind… BIG lips.  In the 80’s, when bigger was better, Lisa admits to having lip injections to help her boost her career as Billie Reed on Days of our Lives.  Her viewers suspected something was up with her larger than life lips, but it wasn’t until recently that her lips became the talk of the town.  Even though luscious lips are appealing, unnatural looking lips are not.

Lisa confesses that she had her lip injections on a whim - like getting a tattoo without thinking it through.  Unfortunately, like tattoos, silicone lip injections are permanent and hard to reverse. Lisa was extremely pleased with her temporary filler injections and thought why not do something more permanent? 

However, with silicone injections it is hard to achieve a natural looking plump – unlike fillers such as Juvederm or RestylaneSilicone can cause scar tissue build up to form around the lips.   As you can imagine, this causes the lips to become even larger and disfigured.  Lisa is a perfect example of what this looks like.

On her reality show Harry Loves Lisa, Lisa opens up about her insecurities and how she regrets her decision she made over 20 years ago. 

Though Harry (her husband) loves her lips just as they are, Lisa decided to go through with lip reduction surgery in attempt to eliminate some of the silicone and regain confidence in the way her face looks.  Removing scar tissue is a difficult task and there are no guarantees that it will help, but after surgical excision of the silicone, we have noticed quite an improvement in Lisa’s lips.

Lip augmentation is a reasonable and common procedure that can produce beautiful, full lips when done correctly by an experienced provider using dermal fillers, such as Juvederm and Restylane.  These fillers contain hyaluronic acid (a substance already found in your body) that has little tissue reaction and will dissolve on it’s own after about one year. 

Loose silicone should NEVER be injected into the body for any type of enhancement - lip, breast, or butt enhancement.  The risks are too high and the outcome is not worth the price you could possibly have to pay.  Silicone injections could cause serious injury, pain, and even death.

Veins Vanish with Sclerotherapy!


Do you loathe the idea of wearing a short skirt or bathing suit due to your leg’s veiny appearance? Well, you are not the only one AND there's no need to feel embarrassed any longer – we have just the solution!

Spider and varicose veins are a common problem, with approximately 50-55% of women experiencing vein problems at some point. So, why does this happen in the first place? There are quite a few factors that may contribute to the frequency of this common problem.

Your veins are the roadway used to carry blood back to the heart. Anything that impedes this return of blood to the heart via the veins in the lower half of the body can cause the vein to enlarge - resulting in unattractive spider and vericose veins.

Like mother, like daughter...
I hate to say it, but sometimes Mother Nature is driving this train. If veiny legs run in your family, chances are you will develop this lovely characteristic too.  Thanks Mom!

Other factors you just can't avoid that may result in these unsightly little suckers are age, pregnancy and hormonal changes with age. 

Sitting or standing for long periods of time also increases your risk.  The movement of your leg muscles helps pump the blood back to your heart -reducing the chances of the blood becoming backed-up.  When you aren't moving the veins have to work extra hard to pump your blood through.  

TIP: If you have a desk job where you work long hours sitting down – un-cross your legs, stand up and move around as much as possible.  If anyone asks what you are doing, tell them you are promoting healthy blood flow to your heart! 

So now that you know why some veins seem to pop out more than others, you are probably wondering what the solution can possibly be? 

A common medical procedure known as Sclerotherapy is just the trick to eliminate small to medium sized unwanted veins.  A small needle is used to inject a liquid chemical into the problem vein, causing the vein's walls to seal shut- stopping the flow of blood.  The vein then turns into scar tissue and after a few weeks will simply fade away.  Larger veins may require a more significant intervention.

Sclerotherapy is very effective when done correctly, and so it is important to go to a highly skilled and trained doctor or nurse to make sure you get the best results.

Pucker Up! With Restylane Lip Injections

It is only natural for us to desire fuller, more luscious lips. We've tried it all - from burning lip balms to goopy glosses hoping for the illusion to have the poutiest pout of them all.  Unfortunately, it always seems that we are left thin-lipped with a mess to wash off at the end of the day! 


This is why many women have decided to give lip fillers a try.  You’re sure to get the plump you want and it will last up to 6 months!  You can finally say bye-bye to having to reapply make-up to flatter your features. 

Whether you are looking to achieve a more sensuous look or bring balance to your face, lip injections can help.  Restylane is one of the most commonly used fillers for lip augmentation.  It is made up of a biodegradable gel with hyaluronic acid, a substance found in our own bodies and is a quick and easy treatment.  Thanks to local anesthesia, it is practically pain-free (no tingling or burning sensation ever again!).

The gel is injected with a very fine needle in tiny amounts into the upper and lower lips.  This pumps up the volume and brings back shape to your lips in just minutes – it also rids the skin of wrinkles and other signs of aging around the mouth.  The procedure usually takes about 30 minutes, and when it’s all said and done you’ll be ready to pucker up! 

To achieve natural-looking, attractive lips with filler injections (and to avoid the “duck lips” effect) it’s very important to find a skillful and experienced injector who will listen to your expectations and provide you with an outcome you will love.
