“Relatively Little Results, Frightening Experience”

Not Worth It
Spent: $1,200 in El Centro, California
I went in for Botox and Restylane, but the consultant (salesperson) recommend I try Radiesse. She said it would last a year and that it was a little bit more uncomfortable than Restylane.
That was an understatement. My doctor administered the Radiesse in a high traffic area. People were stopping by to ask about his lunch order, and so on, while I held my breath and squirmed around in my seat. And, he actually injected my lower jowl lines. I've never had a doctor do anything like that! So I paid to have huge jowls! But it gets worse. My lower face was completely bruised. I was supposed to have some pictures taken the following week and I rescheduled everything for the following month.
Doctor was rough and I looked terrible. I never looked good. Still don't.
