I have very hallow cheeks, although I am only 33, it just runs in our family. I want Sculptra or Radiesse in my cheeks, but I am scared to have it injected there. I had Restylane injected in my tear lines 3 years ago and I still have blue lumps!
It did go well. I am quite happy It took about 1,5 h, was almost painless. They let me watch a movie during the procedure and my doc let me look at the results before he made them final and actually did correct what I had asked him to. The scar was healing extremely fast, I did not need any painkillers, swelling was going down very fast. First 2 days, I looked like from a freaking magazine, since my lips were swollen. I am glad I did it, it was my dream, it all looks different yet still natural. After a week I was freaking out, I felt like not enough skin I had been cut out but now I see, that my doc knew what he was doing. If more skin had been cut, I§d have this drooping mouth corners angry look now. I look good now and am sure, I could not get this look with a filler, ever. I cannot smile the way I used to, tough. U can barely see the scar and thank God mine does tan, but it sure is there, It's stiff and it makes me self concious sometimes. It sure lets u know it§s there when u drink from straw or wanna smear ur lipsticks doing the mouth move. The procedure does make ur nostrils bigger, so I got mine done too. It gave me new, younger look, but I do have scars in the middle of my face. I feel like covering it with make up makes is more visible, I'd say, because the scar is a wrinkle that soaks up ur makeup and makes a line there ?? Lorea'l Perfectionist primer that fills it helps tough. The whole thing took 6 visits and was $2800 her in UT with Dr. Scot Haupt. The procedure did not give me what I had expected but that is not the surgeron's fault. I expected my upper lip to be shorter for younger look ( which sure is) and also the upper lip to be taller/thicker by rolling the lip up and out a bit. The procedure just pulls up what u have got, if u know what I mean.It rolled up maybe a millimeter of my lips, but not even close to what I saw when I was playing with it planning this procedure. The little portion of wet part of my lips that has been rolled up and is exposed to air now has been drying, peeling and just annoying the heck out of me so I have been picking on it, I just can't help it. Matte lipsticks make the situation even worse. I believe my body will adjust to it. This procedure is not worth it if u can't live with the downside of it. It was to me, because I am a diva and this has been my dream and I do look better.
I'm having mine done this Fri. I'm kinda scared now, hasitating on doing it after I red about your white scars. Do u still have them? Can u cover them w/ make up?.. Will u ever tan there, u think? Thanks?
