I have wanted lip fillers for about two years, but my husband was never supportive of the idea (or the cost). One of the first things I wanted to do, pending my divorce from him, was to treat myself with a little lip boost! I had visited the Plastic Surgery of Gwinnett website many times before and was on their email list. One of the big specials for February was discounted Restalyne Silk for their "silky lips event." I eagerly made an appointment.
The office is conveniently located on the Gwinnett Medical campus (great for surgery needs!) The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful during my visit. I didn't have to wait at all to be taken back to a room, and to have numbing cream applied. Dr. Rosenthal has a great personality and an artistic touch. I felt more comfortable than I expected after talking with him about my wishes for my lips.
While injecting the Restalyne Silk, Dr. Rosenthal used a conservative approach, encouraging me to take my time looking closely at my lips after each section was injected. I loved the improvements to my upper lip immediately! This wasn't a nerve-wracking or painful experience; it was actually fun! The product, paired with skilled hands and a perfectionist's eye, has defined my lips beautifully! They definitely appear larger and more shapely. It does not look obviously "done" and is more natural than I ever thought possible. It's safe to say I'm hooked on this procedure! I also had a little product left that he will save for me (for 2 weeks) if I decide to add any more filler after my lips have healed. I will be back to their practice to check out another procedure I've wanted for a long time (rhinoplasty)! Fantastic experience!
