Jeffrey D. Pollard, MD

Pros:I now look younger than my real age. It didn't hurt and no bruising.Cons: As soon as it was shot in to me, I got severe dry eyes and it lasted for several days.I got botox cuz I had a deep wrinkle between my eyebrow. The result is good. I did this on August 25, 2009 and hope that it can for up to 4 months.

Pros: Made me gain confidence and years younger. Looked very natural. Very little pain. The doc. at this place gave me dental block cuz I told him I am afraid of needles and pain.I didn't get any bruising and very little swelling which disappeared completely on the 3rd day. The only pain I had was on the 3rd day early morning when I woke up there was a some pain surround the injection site area, but it gone away within 2 to 3 hrs. It was horrible pain that I need medication for.Cons: I can feel the radiesse under my skin, but you cannot see it.

Pros were I gain confidences and looked younger than my age. I didn't get any bruising and very little swelling which went down completly on the 4th day. It is not really noticeable to people, but just me cuz I now my face the best.The ony redness I got was at the injection site which are little tiny red dots. The doctor gave me free complimentary dental block cuz I told him I am afraid of pain. He took his time in doing it and I didn't feel that he rushed. I would definitely do it again when it is time for it again. I am hoping radiesse is long lasting, so I don't have to be poke too many times. I heard it can last from a year to 18 months.Cons: On the the 3rd day I felt some pain in the early morning, but it went away later in that day and the pain never came back. YOu can feel radiesse on your face by touching where it was injected.

I had my first LL on the above date. Not long after realized nothing looked different. My jowls still were there and my chin was still like a rooster. I wrote a letter explaining my concerns after not getting calls back. I went back finally after sending pics and they decided that it wasn't a change and to do the procedure over. March 2008 I had my second procedure. Even after this procedure I had lots of stringing in my neck. Went back numerous times and had injection to try to control the stringing but it didn't go away. My one ear is attached to the side of my face and the other turns up…..Also, I have stitches you can feel on both sides of my face. Even telling this story gives me anxiety. I wish I could get this all fixed but now I'm scared and to have to put out the money again is also scary. Updated on 27 Aug 2014: I would not encourage anyone to have a LL....I know how bad my experience was and now after reading all the experiences on this web site....I am feeling glad mine wasn't as extreme as some of theirs. I still have to get mine fixed but afraid to pick a PS because I put my faith into Dr. Pollard (twice) and look where that got me.
