Lauren is a true professional and very talented!! I had great results and her space is clean and beautiful! She explained every step before she did it and I felt very comfortable asking any questions I had.
Convinced me to get Radiesse in my cheeks and chin instead of Voluma without explaining how difficult Radiesse is to remove. She Said "you can remove it but it's just a little more difficult". Turns out there is no way to remove Radiesse you just have to wait it out. My smile is still ruined a year later. I have chipmunk cheeks. My lip filler was placed too high in the vermilion boarder so I had a white line around my lips and now they are migrating. Updated on 26 Apr 2021: Since Lauren wants to message me and call me "immature" and gaslight me for my review thought I'd leave pictures for proof. I'm at the same exact body weight in both pictures. The after picture was done 8 months after the procedure. She is STILL claiming it is dissolvable when there is no proven way to dissolve it. I was not fully warned of all the risk of radiesse. On another visit I went for kybella and I asked about the risk of nerve damage in the Jowl area. Lauren said there is no risk. This quote is directly from the kybella website. "Cases of marginal mandibular nerve injury, manifested as an asymmetric smile or facial muscle weakness, were reported in 4% of subjects in the clinical trials". Updated on 27 Apr 2021: I wanted to stay anonymous with this review. It shows how unprofessional Lauren is when she DMs me on Instagram and literally listed my whole medical history and MY FIRST NAME on this public form. Questioning my intelligence, which by the way I do work in the medical field and I bet I had to interpret more scientific studies than her in undergrad. She wanted me to post the after that she took so here it is. I can’t believe she thinks this will help her case at all. You can tell how uneven it is. I posted the smiling before and after because that is my main issue. But you can clearly tell how botched it is in this one as well. This picture was taken at her office 3 months after the filler was placed. You can only imagine how much worse it looked initially. Also you can see on the lips how too much was placed on the sides on my lips and it gave me vertical lines. I’ve been avoiding pictures this whole last year because how bad I look like when i smile. Radiesse is a biostimulatory filler semi permanent meaning when it” goes away” it still is producing collagen and can cause a distorted look after the Radiesse is gone. I kept going back to Lauren because I did not want to admit to myself that I was botched and thought if I could fix other problems in my face it would cancel out the horrendous cheek and chin filler. It took the comment from her about kybella to realise that this practice is unsafe. When I went to go get my filler dissolved in my lips my practitioner noticed how bad my cheeks were without me even telling them I had filler there. Keep in mind this was 11 months after the original filler. According to Lauren it should be gone. Then why is it still this noticeable? Hmmm Updated on 24 Mar 2022: Almost 2 years later and my face is still puffy and my cheeks aren’t the same. I want my old cheeks back. My old smile. But i cant because this incompetent injector talked me into getting filler that is not able to be dissolved. F u. I hate you so much.
