dr j is the best of the best! you will not be disappointed! and your crazy if you go to someone else also had breast aug and lipo on inner thighs and hips and now ocasionally go in for botox and to visit my favorite doctor
I have used Restylane with wonderful, natural looking results for years but just recently my doctor suggested we use Juvederm in my lips and nasolabial folds because I didn't want the numbing injections. It is thinner and easier on you if you just don't want any topical anesthesia. I can leave his office and look pretty darn normal within 20 minutes - great product :)
I started getting Restylane in 2004 for nasolabial folds at 39. We used any extra Restylane in my lips, which already had a great shape but I have a small mouth, so it helped it appear slightly bigger and the entire affect was amazing. Natual looking, no duck-bill overdone lips that look ridiculous and conspicuous. I'm 43 and most people think I'm in my 20's - that is best result I can ask for. I had to go back every three months for a "refill" varying from 1/2 to 1 full syringe, for the first two years, then it was less and less frequently. Now it's just twice a year and it looks great. The friends and family I've told about it can't believe I use anything because you absolutely cannot tell if you have a good DOCTOR (not office staff) putting it in! My doctor injects it and then very forcefully manipulates the Restylane in both the nasolabial folds and my lips - the results are beautiful and I can go out in public within an hour, with maximum benefit being about a month after lasting for several months. It's a great investment! :)
I now have major regrets about my breast reduction. I discussed the lollipop procedure with my ps at my consultation and woke up with the anchor procedure conducted and a large amount of tissue removed. I appear to be hardly a B cup and was a 36H before surgery. I'm hoping to be able to do fat transfer.
In general, it depends on the advice of your surgeon, so you will likely get different answers from different people. In my practice, for instance, I advise my patients that they can resume normal activities after a straightforward, uncomplicated breast augmentation as soon as they want, but let their body be their guide, so to speak. Most of my patients are back to normal activities within a week.
