I Completely Regret It Bbl Ruined my Lovely Skin

After getting to successful laser treatments to remove freckles and capillaries, I felt confident that bbl would make me look even better. The shining star of skin treatments, I didn’t actually need it my skin was already lovely and I was getting compliments on it all the time post capillary treatment. But bbl had a lure on me, the idea of perfect balanced skin tone and texture. And well in the end after thinking it over s as bd over for about 6 months, I finally decided to go though with it. On the day I was so excited. To put it simply, I completely Wrecked my skin, this procedure that supposedly is supposed to do the opposite gave be increased thine lines and stretch marks, something I previously had never worried about in my life. I went from being 25 looking 20 to looking like I aged decade in the space of 30 minutes, I thought it was just an initial reaction but it has not changed a bit since. I feel so stupid and completely blame myself, again I didn’t even need it, it was a narcissistic, treat yourself thing.

I had really lovey skin before. I honestly wish I could go back in time and never do this.

The lady at the clinic I had I done tells me I’m overthinking it ect.
And while I in no why blame them for what happened, because my heart was set on bbl beforehand nobody convinced me into it. If anything I was told I my skin was fine, I don’t believe what she says now that I’m seeing things that were always there, I know my face I no my skin looked like before, the obsessively looking at my own reflection is what got me to do it in the first place, so I know dispite what anyone says that this procedure changed my skin and gave me thine lines and completely destroyed the elasticity.

Whatever magic it was I’m my skin that was keeping me looking so young got zapped out of existence with bbl

I had bbl on March 7, 2022 and again on March 31, 2022. After the first one I didn’t put 2 and 2 together when I saw some dryness and extra wrinkles, especially around my eyes. Also some discoloration on my chin. Plus my main concern of broken capillaries were not better. When I went for my second treatment three weeks later (I was to have a series of three, three weeks apart) I asked the technician if she thought this was working for me. Without considering my concerns or examining my skin, she quickly said,”It works for everybody.” How I wish I hadn’t had that second treatment. There was still hope for my face if I hadn’t. I immediately saw dents and sunken skin under my eyes that have continued to get worse, especially after six days. After that things kept getting worse. Bags under my eyes that are now sunken in (it looks like the shape of the goggles I wore during treatment) with deep wrinkles and folds underneath and down into the cheek area. My temples, cheeks and eyes all have sagged toward the middle of and down my face, and around my mouth the skin seems more loose. Also, she made a point of going over the top of my brows and around my temples with the device, so my eyelids are heavier and my eyes look smaller with folds of skin at the outside corners and on the lids. My left eye is worse and I find myself lifting up the lid with my finger because it presses down uncomfortably and actually makes my eye irritated and dry. I am so depressed. My skin is unbelievably dry and void of any moisture. I went back to the technician two weeks after treatment to show her what was going on and tell how distraught I am. She said it was probably too much for my skin and we need to back off of any further bbl’s. Well OBVIOUSLY

Stupidest thing I ever did to my appearance. and I paid to have it done I paid $550 To completely total my face. They said I would have to wait to see full results, Well it’s been a year and I look worse then ever. Please if you are reading this saying up options, wondering if bbl is for you, DONT DO IT, please it is not worth it if it doesn’t go right for you, you’re probably in the position I was, looking and the ratio of the amount of positive and negative reviews and thinking to yourself “based on this It won’t go bad for me”. Well remember it very well could just as easily increase the exact things is promisees to reduce, and you do not won’t to be in that situation.
My face looks like it’s been face down in the river, I look like 40+ around my eyes, I have lines and sagging, literally the only thing that was helped fight the damage it did was to get Botox (So I’ve paid more now to hide the damage then i did to cause it in the first place) but I can’t afford to do that every few months for in stuck with the constant reminder of my own stupidity every time I look in the mirror.

fine lines and pigmentations that you cover up in the mirror with some foundation in a couple minutes, are a hell of a lot better then wrinkled and lined lose skin that you can’t cover up no mater what . I will at it again. ! DONT DO IT!
