I wanted more projection on my chin... I had a chin implant way back in 2013 with another doctor but the implant is very small and not pointy I wasn't very happy with it, so today I called dr alves... And asked if they do radiesse and they do so I went in and it was pretty quick... He told me the complications and stuff and he made me sign a consent form.

Many patients express concern about "duck lips" or excessively large lips after being treated with fillers. If your lips were treated appropriately, with the goal of enhancing them to better proportion your face then you won't have this look. It is also common to have some excess swelling immediately after treatment that lasts up to one week, but this subsides.
Hi there. Bruising after receiving injectable treatments are quite common and usually quite minor and self-limited. There are many reasons for you to bruise including some medications, whether or not you took a painkiller recently, your recent alcohol intake, and just chance; the face is very very vascular and cutting through a small vessel is not uncommon. I would recommend waiting 1-2 weeks or follow up with your injector if you have a concerned, the bruising is expanding, or there are any signs of infection (redness, excessive swelling, bad smelling discharge.
Hello! The best treatment for the excessive bags under the eyes would be modest dermal filler rejuvenation. These products will allow for the re-volumization of the thin, deflated skin under the eyes. Adding fillers to re-sculpt your cheekbones will also allow for plumping up the wrinkles around the eyes. Finally, if there is additional softening needed, then Botox or another neuromodulator can help as well.
The depth and darkness of our tear troughs are caused by several different factors: 1) genetics (if one or both or your parents have deep and dark eye bags); 2) level of fatigue and sleep hygiene; 3) The skin underneath the eyes is particularly thin, and therefore show a lot of darkness due to the large number of blood vessels in the area. The best option would be to have the depressions under your eyes treated with a modest amount of hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Juvederm or Belotero. These products will lift and balance the depression under the eyes, reducing the tired and sad look you currently have. It is always important to note that the darkness underneath the eyes is never completely reduced, as part of it is your natural pigmentation. I hope that helps.
Most of us have asymmetrical faces. We need to consider both sides of our face "sisters," and not "twins." That is, we have subtle imperfections from one side of the face to the next. Once we begin having cosmetic facial treatments we cannot help but inspect our face far more often than before. We then start to notice the imperfections we've always had, but never noticed. I'd suggest following up with your injector and have them show you before and after photos. Very often, they will be able to show you these asymmetries existed before your treatment. If they did not, it is their job to help fix them.
