WORTH IT$1,200

Well, I relied so much on these reviews that I wanted to make sure I post my own. I went for a consultation two weeks ago and went back today for the filler. I had 1 syringe of Perlane into each upper cheek area to help with that hollowed out area under the eye and then I also had botox in between the eyebrows to help with the 11 lines. I was reallllly nervous but my doctor and his assistant totally eased my nerves. It did feel a little odd - kind of like a crunching feeling of the needle going into the cheek. They used some numbing lotion ahead of time and the injections also contain lydocaine - so it really didn't hurt tremendously. I'm swollen but have been icing a bunch. Also taking bromeleine and arnica. So far, I am very pleased ! I will update this as I heal but honestly I can pull it off right now. I think I will have a bruise though but hopefully not...

Thanks so much for seeing the importance of adding your review for the benefit of others who are considering the same treatment.

I'm really glad to hear things are going well overall. My fingers are crossed for minimal bruising & I'll be looking forward to hearing how you are doing!

Well - here it is at 7:30am the next morning. I still have no bruising. Should I have any by now? I thought I would have some but I don't. But I will say that I do have swelling and iced a bunch again already today and that did help. So still - I haven't told my 4 year old nor her dad - and no one has said anything - and if it looked too different? My 4 year totally would have noticed - she notices everything. So even though it feels really swollen to me, it must not be to her. Last night though - NOT a good night sleep. My cheeks really hurt. I normally sleep on my side and it was far too painful to do that.
It does feel like I got hit on my cheek bones but I imagine I'd look alot worse if I did.
So - still - so far so great ! :)

FYI on the cost - it was $450 per syringe with a $100 rebate so that's $800, the additional $300 is for the botox I had also (which I do not see any results yet on but I know that will take a few days or so).

So here I am on Sunday morning, not yet 48 hours later - still NO bruising but definitely a lot of swelling. It's almost like the filler moved,into my upper eyelids.
I think its from laying down at night.
I am icing, drinking a ton of water and I think just being up and moving around
will help.
I know swelling is to be expected.
So HOPEFULLY I will look swollen for work tomorrow!
