Sculptra, Juvederm and Botox - Connecticut

Hi Britt,

Unfortunatley, I don't have pictures. My Dr. took before and afters at each treatment. I'll aske her if I could have a copy.

I'm not sure if I should have been more clear on the Scupltra and my initial hesitation. I voiced my concerns to my Dr. about the complaints of lumps and bumps from some of the posters here.

My Dr. explained that the solution is diluted more now and it should never be used near the eyes or mouth. It should only be injected deep in the skin (either in or below the muscle - I don't remember which one she said) - never subcutaneously. Also, a little at a time, wait six weeks, etc., massage.

I had very little bruising and very little swelling, although I loved the swelling! I could have gone out that night with a little makeup. The Dr. has me lay on the table with ice for about 10 minutes after the all the injections and then I do the ice on and off for the rest of the day.

I didn't have any bruising with the botox and, at five days later, I love it! I don't look suprised, my forehead is smoother and my outer eyes have a little lift to them.

I'm glad I can share the info about a great Dr. with others who may be interested in this procedure.

Thanks,
Annalisa
