I have had botox around my eyex and also a filler in my cheeks, where they seemed to sink in alittle, the filler cost me about $1000 but the dr gave me a 10% discount cause I worked in Aged Care. The botox was about $300.
I have had the botox twice now, the second time didnt look as good as the first, but I am still happy with the results.
The filler lasts a year and I am REALLY happy with it, it has filled in the creases in the sides of my face, near the cheeks, and is still filled in now, 10 months later.

Oh my Trent that sounds super painful. I wonder if where you had the Botox injected it had not healed completely and some of the acid from the peel got into your skin. Have you gone back and asked how this could be fixed especially since it is a painful lump? That sounds like something that should get checked. Please keep us updated.
Thanks,

Hi Trent,
Yes other community members have mentioned their doctors telling them they should not bend over or put their head down after Botox due to headaches developing. I'm curious as to why you have such eye bags now.
Thanks,

I had Botox in forehead and was very happy with it,no lines or creases ,only the last time it did not work.the doctor said I had built a tolerance to it.said u had to weight one year then try again ?
Hi M.,
I've never heard building up a tolerance. I wonder if a different filler would work.
thanks,

Hey Trent,
I don't know if it's from that are just getting older, LOL. I just keep loading on the Oil of Olay products and see where that takes me, but figure there will have to be something done sooner or later. ;)

Yeah, a weeks worth of discomfort is worth a years worth of good results! You should write a review on your experience with injectable fillers too. I'm sure people would be interested in hearing about long lumpy sausage cheeks! ;) My friend that I was talking about before, Kate, had Prevelle done, click here if you want to see her review, you can watch a video of her actually getting her injections!
Are you guys on facebook? Ill add you if u are.
That is really interesting about guys muscles needing more botox! I suppose it makes sense, I just hadn't even thought of it before.
You can't be too much of a wuss if you are tolerating all of this stuff! I haven't had any fillers, but I watched a girlfriend get them & I could tell by her reaction that it must have hurt more than Botox.

Hey Trent,
Britt hasn't had botox, she's still a spring chicken! I on the other hand had my first experience with Botox on Sept. 2nd. I had it around my eyes also. I'm really happy with what the 2 injections on each side of my eyes did for taking away my crows feet. However, I also received an injection under my eyes, and I feel like it makes me look like I have pretty noticeable eye bags when I smile.
I haven't done any other areas. I wanted to start out light & see what I thought. Would love to hear how it goes when you have your forehead done!
Hey Trent,
Oh I sleep on the side of my face too and as I increase in years I'm not ruling it out. You will have to let us know how it goes next week too.
Thanks,

Hi Trent,
Wow, great picture you don't look like you've had anything done everything is so natural looking. I'm glad it worked out so well. What prompted you to do Botox?
Thanks,
