6 Month "Refill"

$700
It's been about 6 months, so today I am going back for more Dysport and filler. I am going to see Margaret Larkin again, she is Dr. Goldman's NP and I really like her. I don't know what filler she will use today, I'll talk to her about it before she gets started of course.
My eyes started getting a little droopy about 4 weeks ago, but I put off going back until I needed both eyes and fillers at the same time. My fillers have held up really well. There's still some left, I can feel it if I pinch around where it was injected. I want to do some maintenance though before I'm starting all over again.
I forgot to stop taking fish oil until Monday, my last dose was Monday. Hopefully that's enough time to not effect anything.
I'll post pics!

Three weeks later.

This is a picture from three weeks later. I am going back this afternoon for a little more filler to hopefully soften up what has receded.

how much did she charge you for the additional shots
June 5, 2015
The original shots cost $700. The follow up cost $575. I wish she had told me I might need a "second round" so I could have been prepared for the expense, but I'm very happy with the results. I'll post follow up pictures this weekend.

Apparently I still look better!

I saw a friend of mine who I haven't seen since the day after my filler injections. She said I look really good. She did notice that some "fill" has diminished, but she said it still looks great. I feel way better getting her input. I'm still going to go for more fillers in a couple of weeks, but at least now I don't feel like I'm "starting from scratch" :)

How do the filler injections look now? I've heard that the optimal results are at three weeks. Have you noticed any change?

Hi!
I did lose some of the softness, especially in my marionette lines. The area around my nose still looks better though. I'll post a new picture.
I talked to the NP who did the first injections, and she said it's very common for people to swell like I did right afterwards, look smooth, then lose some of that when the swelling is gone. I am going back this afternoon to get a little more filler added. If that helps, great, but if not, I'm not going to do more. I got a little of the "edge" taken off, and while it's not as nice as it was right at first, I'm good with the little bit of help. It's a little expensive, too, to keep adding more and more.
This time, I've taken more precautions to hopefully not bruise and swell as much. I haven't had any alcohol all week, I've been drinking a lot of water, and I won't drink tonight, or workout out hard. I hope that helps, I have a party to go to on Saturday and no one there knows I'm doing this.
