Ecstatic!

WORTH IT$859
I am absolutely ecstatic with the results. I payed a visit to my friend & her father (I did not tell her about getting fillers). When my friend opened the door, she said "Holy Hell! You look 19!" and her father wanted to know what moisturizer I used to "glow".
I also was carded buying wine at the store (that hasn't happened in the last year or so), some cute boy at the store begged to take my groceries to the car, and I was asked if I go to school around here.
So far I'm most pleased with not seeing a ton of lines and shadows on my face when I look in the mirror. Even if I didn't get positive feedback from the rest of the world, I'm so pleased with how I look and feel. I will continue to update.

I got my first taste of fillers yesterday, and I'm so happy I decided to get them done. I had been dieting, and after loosing 30 lbs, my face was looking a lot older because of sagging skin. My cheeks began looking hallow, my eyes looked tired, and those lines from my nose to my mouth were so deep. I had a feeling I was too young for a face lift, so I figured fillers would be my other option. I went in figuring I would be getting Restylane to the cheeks for a lift, but the Dr suggested Radiesse for my nasolabial folds, Perlane for the cheeks, Dysport to lift my brows a bit. The Radiesse shots hurt a bit because the Dr went nice & deep. The results are great. The fillers lifted my sagging jowls, and lifted some sagging skin from my chin/neck area. I wish I had done this way sooner!

Way to go with the weight loss! 30 pounds is quite an accomplishment - I hope you feel proud of yourself!!
Your filler turned out very nice. It definitely just give you a little lift, but not overly.
Btw, you look really good without makeup - lucky girl!!

Hi! You look super. So did the doctor inject Radiesse too on your chin?
July 27, 2013
Thank you so much! The Dr did not put any injections into my chin, or anywhere below the lip area (even though we wanted to get those dreaded marionette lines) because of some ongoing dental work. However, the injections into my cheeks and nasolabial folds seemed to give me a nice lift to the lower part of my face. :)

Ohhh ok. And where you scared about Radiesse or any filler giving an autoimmune reaction or something? Like most reviews here that are horrible. That's why Im still scared of doing it. I keep postponing and postponing. I want it on the chin and maybe on the front of cheekbone. I want to look manlier jejej and better lookinh

I was very nervous! I had been reading the reviews on here too, & they made me so nervous. I'm glad I decided to do it though, and that the results were better than I expected them to be. :) If you decide to try it, keep me posted!

Ok!! Ohh And did the doctor say anything , before putting the filler, about some people getting reactions and stuff? Or he didn't mention it?
Or Did he just say fillers were
Safe?? Just to know

I don't remember the Dr saying anything besides that there might be swelling or bruising. I could be wrong though.

Gerry, I had the same concerns as you but decided to have injection in the nasolabial fold. These are a deep injection but with the icing of the area, and lidocaine in the Radiesse it was not painful. I had no bruising and the PS said with proper injection there should be no bruising. It look great and I will maintain with Radiesee.

Thanks for answering! So you were also really concerned about the immune reactions and allegory right? Did you mention it to your PS while you were there?
August 29, 2013
My concerns were if she overall results would be worth the pain and expense. It was.
August 30, 2013
So you were not worried At all about all the bad reviews? Some ruining lives for years....
August 30, 2013
No, I had such concern. I had such great confidence in my PS I believed she would not have done it if she thought there could be a problem. She has a reputation and practice to protect.
August 30, 2013
Ohhh jeje. That's a really good answer ;)...I asked bc here there are a lot of reviews that say that they went to a top PS and that then when the horrible problem of the reaction began, they just said " that has never happened with any of my patients". That's all they said. As if it's the poor unlucky patient's problem. You know?
