Testing out Generic Retin-A from US Vs Overseas Tretinoin - Charlottesville, VA

Sculptra -- Nothing Bad Happened but It's a WASTE of Money! - Salem, VA

Hey big wil1. This is just one person's opinion but I think you look GREAT in the picture before, I think it's the fourth one. Your cheekbones, everything, combine (at least in that particular pic) to make a very good-looking person. I don't think you even needed it! But I know we all want what we want. I have had two of sculptra, with no adverse effects. I looked sooooo good for about three days after from the swelling. Just what I have always wanted my too long and too thin face to look like. Then it went down and it really, really doesn't seem to have been worth it. I barely have gotten anything from it, imo, when i think back. I did get a deal on it (cannot remember what I paid) but I haven't seen the results that make it worth it (although I did appreciate those few days....) I had lost a lot of weight and looked awful since I was thin to begin with. I couldn't wait for it to go back into the face. I did manage to gain every pound back (had fun sitting on the couch and eating whatever I wanted!) and thus when I returned to the doctor she was proud that the sculptra had supposedly worked. Little did she know that I had put on some "pretty" weight AND done radiesse in the interim!!! That was why I looked better, not from the sculptra. Oh well

Fcraft, how does it look now? Better or no change? I ask because immediately after the procedure there is swelling which for me would look good. The collagen won't form for at least a month after. Thus any immediate results are deceptive.

Nola74, THANK YOU for such a full, honest, REAL review!!! That's why I keep coming back here, because I can hear the real story. And I never felt you were being babyish or discouraging others from a procedure in your review, btw. How is everything looking and feeling now, in any event?

I went too to read the stuff on ripoffreports. So Dr. Aronowitz is no longer harming people, or did I get that wrong? Still.....shocked at this insane behavior. I honestly thought doctors were more ethical than this. I wonder if most of them are this way? Does anyone know? What do other doctors think of this? And is there any legal recourse for people who had their lives damaged? Hopefully someone on here knows.

@ PLD you really are a beautiful girl, despite the bad work this doc did. I would love to have eyes like that. @60lovingit, Dr. Motykie also has done well with a surgery I read about on this very site -- I think the woman used the name Schmee? Schmee12? and she looked great. Seriously. I was even thinking he knew his stuff. So apparently one person's surgery can go well and the next one's can go just awfully. So when you say surgery went well with Dr. Velasco, while it sounds wonderful and I would want to try it, it's hard to gamble with one's life and looks. I would opt for a saggy older face rather than a lumpy one!
