I begged my Dr to inject me under my eyes. I had hollow circles. He said no way . I said it will be fine. He did it under one eye only. I bruised for 2 or 3 weeks. it last about 8 mos. when I work out botox juverderm fade faster. I did the same eye 1 yr later. something was wrong immediately. i was swollen & bruised for 6 weeks!. I could see a slight dark circle 6 mos and 1yr later. 2 yrs later the Dr look at my chart & said lets inject it. He did my eye look better instantly. If I wanted it to stay in it wouldn't have!. Injecting under the eye is a big risk... I'm lucky he didn't hit a blood vessel. I know why he didnt want to do it now.. I had a puffy eye for 2 yrs!..

Well I am thrilled for you that you found a good injector for a reasonable cost.
I do know it can be diluted differently, and that the time frame from when it was mixed & when it was injected apparently plays a part as well. I like the doctor I just had my injections done with (board certified facial plastic surgeon) but of course won't really know for a few months how long it has lasted. At that point I'll re-evaluate & decide if I will go back to him for my next set or try a 3rd injector.
As for the earlier the better...I agree to a certain point. I think at my age (34) its a good time to start because I'm starting to see some of the animated lines stay as static lines...however, I know there are some girls in their 20's doing it as "preventative" and though I support their choice to do whatever they want, I can't help but to cringe a little as it seems pretty unnecessary for most at that age, and a waste of money and exposure to possible risks.
One Dr. ( wife's is BH housewives) had a 99.00 per area. he had ladies walking out w bubbles( water) 4 to be exact in the shape of a V.
I was there for Radiance, which didn't work from him. he redid it & charged me a total of 750.00! crazy me was trying to find a good place. So I tried the botox. w him... I thought maybe he was better at that.
2 mos later... I could move my fore head!! I moved on I'm happy w my Dr today... I have a file there. lol.......
Oh my goodness, a puffy eye for 2 years?! Eek. It sounds like it has cleared up for you know, is that right?
I'm with you on the wish to have botox last longer...of course those with poorly done injections certainly would be in disagreement though. Its both a pro & a con that it doesn't last long.
My Dr botox last at least 6 mos..... I dont get a lot.
BUT I've gotten botox over 10 yrs! lol I dont let the forehead wrinkles. get strong. I keep my botox habit under 500.00 per yr. start early girls!!!
Wow, 6 months, that is a great length of time for Botox to last. This is only my second time being injected, but for me & it seems like many others, Botox only lasts 3-4 months.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by 99.00 per site injection. Do you mean you paid $99 per area, or??
$500 a year is great. Unless I find a better way (which I would love to of course!) its looking like I am at about $900 a year, ugh!
