This procedure was pain free, symptom free and absolutely permanent. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone who wants beautiful results that will last a lifetime thanks to the skill and expertise of my Dr. I wanted to look more youthful and am totally happy about my decision and results.

I have since returned to see Dr J for a second round of Silikon injections and the procedure went just as smooth as the first time. I am even more pleased and always appreciate the Dr's honest and forthright evaluation. Dr J truly enjoys what he does (making us all beautiful!) In my opinion he is a talented artiste` as well as a highly skilled physician making certain every procedure is performed to his standards.... speaking of which - I also paid the Dr a visit for laryngitis which he diagnosed as a result of a sinus infection. I was feeling better in no time and highly recommend seeing Dr. J for any E.N.T. issues you may have as well ~ he knows his stuff! Back atcha Doc...you're the BEST!!

I highly recommend my Dr - from the moment I entered his office I felt comfortable and at ease. His expertise in the field of using Silikon 1000 is amazing and I would advise anyone considering it- do not hesitate! I am through wasting time and money on temporary fillers thanks to Dr J. I am grateful that he chose to work with Silikon 1000 as his results are extraordinary and best of all permanent!~You will love the fact that it is virtually painless and there is no down time. I had been searching for a solution like this and many Drs. advised against using silicone in the face. That is because they were not trained or skilled in its use. For those of you who want to try it..you will be very happy with the outcome. I love my results and will be going back for more treatments with Dr J.

Be careful. That's what Pricilla Presley had done. I've read that it looks really bad in 10 years. My doctor who gives me filler will not even touch that stuff.
Hi ssunshower,
What kind of fillers do you get?
-Britt
I believe Priscilla Presley for whatever reason and by her own admission did not go to a qualified doctor
for her treatments. She had them done "off the cuff" as they say...not a wise choice.
Hi Lexi,
I would have to agree that a qualified doctor and a non "off the cuff" approach is awesome and smart, to any type of procedure.
Thanks for the info,
-Britt
The lump under your eye is from using a product named "Evolence". I don't know what that is. The product that I got is called SILIKON-1000.
Silikon 1000 is a medical-grade pure form of liquid injectable silicone. It is FDA approved for opthamalogical use (retinal detachment) BUT it has been used as a filler by cosmetic surgeons for 30 years with good results! In the hands of QUALIFIED injectors, complication rates are extremely low. The injection technique is called the "micro-droplet" technique and it's a special skill learned to ensure that there is no migration.
I did SO MUCH research before I got this procedure - All of my research showed that the MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR for success is the TECHNIQUE AND EXPERIENCE of the doctor. The best doctor in my region - Dr. Jospeh - is TWO STATES away from where I live! But I gladly drove over because I would not do this procedure with any doctor who is not the best. He made sure that I was aware of every possible risk before I consented to the injections and explained to me a plan for if any complications arise.
My results are fantastic and I am 10000000% happy with my choices of SILIKON-1000 and my doctor. I hope that everyone does their homework and reads both perspectives and makes the best choice for themselves.
It is unfortunate that unskilled hands have ruined this fabulous process for some, hence giving it a bad rap.
I am so happy to have found Dr. Joseph and I would encourage any of you who are considering this process to go and see him. He will answer all your concerns in an open honest forum and then you can decide for yourself.
I am sure there are Dr's and even less qualified technicians who pump people up with the stuff right away and you CANNOT do that. That is what causes lumps, bumps and bulges.
I personally would not have it injected anywhere above my nose on my face. The eye area is very delicate and I think best treated with surgery or some temporary filler. Maybe a skilled physician could remove that for you and do a skin lift under the eye to smooth it out. It's worth looking into.
