I was referred to and had my consultation with Dr....
WORTH IT$500
I was referred to and had my consultation with Dr. Struck for my Breast Augmentation revision that I had with Dr. Beck in Foster City back in 2008 and have since heard many great things about him including Juvederm. He was very informative and a very nice Dr. I have an appointment scheduled an appointment with him next week 8/11 to have half a syringe of Juvederm. I do not want to have huge lips but just a little plumping for these chicken lips! I will post a before and after soon and let you know how it does!

Hi there I had a moderate profile 400 cc implant ( I forgot the brand ) with Dr. Beck. I have to have a revision because I had a small B when I originally got my implants and after the implants I was about a double D. ...because the implant was so much larger than my original breast I now have a small line under my breasts because of the size difference. It is very noticeable although he did a nice job I now feel like my breasts are a little too low. Not necessarily saggy but placed too low interesting thing is my friend who also had her implants done from Dr. Beck has the same complaint with her breasts being too low. My other girlfriend also had a revision with Dr. struck because one of her implants actually popped and was leaking. She has a very small frame but opted to go with 500 cc. Dr. struck did a fantastic job, they do not look too big and fake and they are placed perfectly on her chest. Dr. beck and his staff are great surgery was very easy no complications minimal pain but based on my experience, I think Dr. Struck will be able to give me the new look I want. He said that he will need to suture under my breast and bring it up a little to get rid of the line he's also going to place them a little higher. I cannot go out with no bra because it looks like I have big saggy boobs lol .. So I will be seeing dr. Struck in spring 2016. Hope this helps.

Day of treatment
1/2 syringe of Juvederm Ultra
So today I went for my appointment with Dr. Struck to get my very first Juvederm treatment! First off I have to say I loooove Dr. Struck he is amazing! His office is in prestige Atherton and they are very professional and clean. It was very busy, but they were able to see me within about 30 minutes. He looked over my lips over and numbed me with lidocaine which took about 5-10 minute and he came back in with the syringe. He told me he didn't think I needed a full syringe, but will do whatever I want. Since this is was my first time I decided to be conservative. He chatted with me to take my mind off the needle and even with the numbing I was still able to feel the needle. A little painful, but not too bad... Anyhow- I love it! I have to say that I wish I did a little more. Dr. Struck told me to call him next week if I want a touch up. Which I will :). I am now about an hour out of my appointment. Not much bruising at all. I really like them but think I will go a little bigger on the top.

Conservative was not the way for me! Lol need bigger lips!
As I mentioned I got my first half syringe of Jervaderm Ultra on 8/11 and wanted to be conservative. Well... It turns out conservative was not for me. 2 days later I went back to see Dr. Struck and he was super busy but fit me in for a touch up. He actually waited for me while I was sitting in his exam room taking a conference call with numbing cream on my lips haha. With that said he put more in my top and a little on the bottom. I was leaving to Vegas in 1 day and was a little worried about bruising. Well.. Aside from a little bruising at the needle point I really didn't have any. Anyhow.. I loved my lips while in Vegas, but now I realized that even though I've seen him two times I probably want a full syringe. Since this was my first time I wasn't sure. It's now been almost 2 weeks and my lips are settled so I know what look I am going for. It was no fault to the Dr. It's just my preference. With that said I will be calling his office Monday to get scheduled for another appt. he charged me : $250 for 1/2 , not for the touch up and I, certain he will charge me Another to $250 for this appt. he normally charges $500 for full. I'll update after my appt next week.

So the Dr performed the injection himself? Also I am mixed and wondered about bruising especially because of my skin tone. You said you had minimal bruising/swelling? When did this subside and did you do anything to help the healing process along?
Also could you tell me what your injection sites were. I am going in 2 weeks and want to know what to tell the dr. Did you take pictures with you to your appt?
Thank you your lips look great

Hi there, he gave me 2 injection points on my bottom lip and 2 on the top. If you look at the picture below to the left all I have is gloss on. You can see in the corner it is a little bit darker and that is a small bruise. When I left dr. Struck's office he gave me a cold pack for my mouth and I applied it while driving and I did take two motrins to help with swelling. Thanks for reaching out.
Chicken lips? Too funny! Yes, please keep us posted on how you're doing and be sure to post your pics! Are you doing half on the bottom and half on the top or half total?
