WORTH IT$950
I was unhappy with some signs of aging and pinned down a root cause of what was aging all of the other young looking features on my face. So I narrowed it down to the nasolabial folds, which I read start to emerge in the mid-20's. I went into have a consultation and immediately got a sense of trust. Dr. knew excellent techniques to keep the area from bruising, icing area well before doing the procedure. All in all I'm very pleased with the outcome, though subtle, makes a HUGE difference! Lately I've been carded more often when out and people think I'm 20/21 years old or a little younger which is proof that such a little thing makes a huge difference. I may be crazy, but I'm obsessed with the fear of getting old so I'm doing all I can to prevent as much as I can from the effects of aging. Next year I'll return for more before my wedding!

Hi, when did you start seeing the results? I did this 2 days ago and I feel embarrassed, my mouth is like a monkey, is this normal?

I saw results about a week later..at first I found my face to look a little strange too! But once the substance absorbs a bit more everything looks normal! Have you noticed a change yet?

You are just a kid! Why are you worried about putting fillers in your face. I didn't have my first filler injected till I was 54 yrs old. If you start doing it now, by the time your my age your going to be so obsessed, you are going to over do it.

Oh wow! I really hope I can keep myself under control...I have a feeling I will wind up overdoing it :( :(

I agree - no one in their 20s or 30s or even early 40s should do anything to their face. These fillers change the skin - they stretch it out and if the injector is not REALLY REALLY good - you are stuck with them 2-3 years unless you use a filler that can be dissolved. I have read that when you dissolve a filler, that can cause problems as well. This stuff is not like using creams and lotions.

You are way too young to be using fillers. You are beautiful and do not need them!

Happy Birthday to you! I wish I could be 30 again and look like you! Enjoy your 30's. Those were my best years (hey, every year is s good year when you look as good as you do). I also looked very young for my age back then. Even got carded at a bar when I was 32. Don't listen to others who put you down because you want to improve something that bothers you. You ARE a beautiful woman with or without cosmetic surgery. If something bothers us why can't people just be happy for us that we are trying to look our best. So much negativity in the world.
I got a face lift and tummy tuck with Dr P this year. And, it's been one of the best things I've done for myself. I'm almost 58 and my husband says I look like I'm 40 again. Wish I had done it earlier in life - maybe I'd look 30 like you - LOL!
Have a wonderful birthday and know that there are people out there who wish you the best :)

And I thought you were about 25 from your before pictures.
Relax. Save your money for now. Do the preventive routines, but don't ever neglect appreciating what you have NOW. In twenty years, then start getting aggressive. In the meantime, there are so many things you can do that actually prevent aging signs.
Be kind to yourself.
If you were my sister, best friend, or my daughter, this is what I'd be telling you. It IS what I tell my teenage daughter.
I never appreciated my own appearance until now, really, and that is sad. Like you, I always looked younger.
Appreciate yourself and don't nit pick your appearance. You're lovely.

Honestly think you looked great before!!
Its great that you took the time to analyze what it was specifically that you felt was aging you, then had that addressed. You look great in your photos, so congrats!
I know you mentioned you iced the area, did you use any numbing cream or numbing medication like lidocaine in the filler itself?
Thanks for adding the additional photos!! Do you know if the anti-bruise gel contained arnica?
Also, congrats on your upcoming wedding - that is ExCiTiNg!!!
