41 Years Old, Eye Bags, Belotero Filler. Sandy, UT

I've got mild to moderate eye bags that are hereditary, and they gotta worse over the last couple years. I decided to go see Dr. J. Dal Canto at the Alta View Speialty Center to discuss my options. Dr. Dal Canto is a Oculoplastic Surgeon, and I was referred to him by Dr. Jason Hancey who is a hand surgeon in the same office who I had come to know through a hand injury that required surgery. If already been to another office to consider Lazer Bleth, but I wanted another opinion before just "pulling the trigger", and I'm sooo glad I did. Dr. Dal Canto recommended repositioning the fat pads, and thoroughly explained why. The other doctor would have chosen to just remove them, without really addressing my concerns of droopy skin around the eye area, which may have likely been enhanced with the fat completely removed. Dr. J. Said that I'm not the best candidate for surgery right now, because he wouldn't be able to remove the skin without causing my lower lids to droop. But what impressed me most about him is that he was sure to address what concerned me the most, which are the fat pads that sit lower on the face (more on the upper cheek area) that I thought would be removed during the procedure. He explained that if those pads are what really bothered me, that this would be another reason he wouldn't recommend surgery right now, because those pads are connected to the muscle and wouldn't be removed, so I'd likely not be satisfied with the overall results since those are what bug me the most. This was never addressed during my 'other' consultation. Ultimately, we came up with a plan to inject Belotero under the eyes, and Radiesse in the cheeks to really help smooth everything out. This review is under Belotero because I feel it's the main product even though there will be two. Ultimately, had I decided to go with the Lazer Bleth, I would have spent a lot of money, and white possibly not been satisfied because my 'main concern' was never fully identified. Dr. J. took the time required to make sure he really understood what bothered me, and made recommendations based on what he learned. He could have very easily steered me in the direction of surgery, but didn't. Because of that, I'll be a long time customer and will continue to work with him until I'm finally a candidate for the surgery. He's charging $450 for the Belotero (free touch up if required), $650 for the Radiesse (free touch up too), and a $75 consultation visit charge. The 'other' doctor was a free consultation, but I'm so glad I decided to go with another opinion. Well worth the $75 to get good advice. I'm posting before pictures now, and will update with afters soon! :) nervous and excited at the same time!!
