Botox and Filler Together or Just One? And if So, Which?

November 9, 2012
Asked By:Natural2011 in Texas, TX

I went for my consultation today for slight under eye wrinkles when smiling. Surgeon recommended one site Botox and one syringe Perlane along each cheekbone. I'm 36 and Latina so have been quite lucky as far as aging, thus, don't want to trade a small problem for a bigger one(ie: hollows, more wrinkles, bags, droopiness,changed eye shape, etc). Should I do just one for now since I'm new at this? I'd hate to overdo it. And I don't want to end up wishing I'd just left things alone.
