“Excellent”

Hi Catherine, I would recommend you try Perlane instead next time. The other problem is that lots of docs don't tell you that you really may need more to get the desired result. At our clinic we are very up front about what to expect.If I think a person will need 2cc's and they only want to pay for one, I'll tell them I don't think they will be happy with the result and why. I think people should go in to these things knowing what to expect, not some airy-fairy "..yeah you're gonna look great perfect beautiful, that will be 500 bucks, thanks!" We always schedule a 2 week follow up to make sure that our clients are happy, see if they have any asymmetry, questions, concerns, or if they need or want more. You can always put more in, but you can't take it back out! If you have deep lines Perlane is better because it is thicker and creates more volume. It also lasts longer. Perlane is made by the same people, it's just a thicker formulation of the same hyaluronic acid. Hope that helps!

Well you're not alone. I had aquamid put in my lips and frown line 5 years ago. I was a guinea pig basically as the Dr was excitted about it being a new product so I was her first to use it. Since then I've been told you shouldn't put it in the frown line. Makes sense really because all your sinuses are around that area. I now have a big vein down one side of my eye and it's painful to touch. I also have dry eye now, which I never used to. My lips were so overdone I couldn't eat apples and hurt to bite into things. So I went back and she injected steriods as well. Although my lips and forehead are lumpy, I can now eat properly. I am hoping to see her again for more steriod injections to break down the forehead area. You're right though, they are quick to book you in for the treatment, but once it goes wrong, they don't want a bar of you! Crooks!
