Asked By:urlm in New York, New York, USA

Went to a real plastic surgeon,not an injection clinic.Said upon consultation to change my lifestyle and come back in 3 months if I still wanted it. I found this odd, but complied. Returned and wanted treatment, now it's been 9 days and it looks worse.Can't tell if the bags are bigger or it's the bruised line that makes it appear that way. Tried to conceal the bruising with makeup, bags still appear bigger. Is this normal? Used 1/2 syringe,kept the rest&told me to return if I wanted corrections.
