I had Dr. K do my filler treatment because my best friend went to her to get filler in her lips and she did an amazing job. Dr. K and her staff really put me at ease during the procedure. I could not be happier.
Fractional laser resurfacing can safely be done on the chest. Knowing the appropriate laser settings based on the the particular laser, the patients age and skin type/color are factors that must be considered for the procedure to be safe. Combining fractional laser, IPL, chemical peels and topical medications may be necessary to give the best results in Chest Rejuvenation. Please make sure you see an experienced dermatologist or physician who has expertise in lasers. Good Luck!
This is a great question. While you can get good results of restoring volume to the face with pretty much any "filler". You would definitely see great results with Voluma and Lyft for the cheeks and mid face. The only problem you may have is that being an avid runner, the Hyaluronic acid fillers may not last as long as expected. For the global facial re-volumization, with long lasting results the best choice is Sculptra. Patients achieve very natural results. It is very important that you find a dermatologist or plastic surgeon that is an experienced injector to assure your results are optimal.
Thank you for sharing. Very sorry to hear about your unfortunate side effect. This is really a case of less is more. Injecting too much Botox into the lateral portion of the frontalis muscle or close to the brow can cause lid hooding. When you experienced the "spock" effect, very small amounts should have been used to correct it. Now that you have the heavy brow, it is best to be patient and wait for the effects to subside.
From the picture you provided, it is difficult to diagnose the lesions. Milia and keratosis are 2 common lesions found on the eyelids that can be easily treated without scarring. It would be best to see a board certified physician for proper diagnosis and if desired, treatment of the lesions.
You have considerable swelling. This will definitely improve over the next day or 2. The majority of swelling is gone in 3 days and by day 5-7 swelling in the lips completely resolves. The most common products injected into the lips are Juvederm and Restylane. It seems that Restylane will cause more swelling in the lips in most, but not all, patients. Also, you mentioned that you had recently had your lips injected by someone else and this was a correction treatment. The fact that the injections were so close together could account for the dramatic swelling reaction. The best thing to do would be contact the injecting physician and seek his/her advise.
