Could you please tell me who your doctor was? I have had work done in Costa Rica and loved it, but can't find a name of anyone doing cheek implants there now .(2013). It's been years since your post. How is your face now?
You might also start by using a lower percentage of retinoic acid in your Retin-A (.025%), then build up to .1%. Make sure your skin is clean and dry before applying because damp skin can cause a reaction. So, wait 30 minutes or so. Most importantly, don't go in the sun because it will react and you'll have even more irritation! You can do this! :-)) Just make it a nightly habit.
Only using it for 3 nights is only going to dry out the skin, not showing true effects of Retin-A which takes many months. You need to moisturize heavily with a cream, not a wax like Burts Bees.
