My eyes are starting to look really hollow and while filler works great it only lasts months.

Thanks, I hunk I may have to have my lip implants redone but I need to take. Break right now.

How are your tear trough implants feeling/looking? Any updates on that front? TY!

Tear trough implants are amazing! I think it might be considered a lower eye lift but it lifts by filling in the hollow area instead of removing skin. I’d do that again in. Hot minute. I’ll probably need a touch of filler next to them but I’m very happy with the results o far. I’m 8 weeks yesterday. I made an appointment today to have another dr look at my lip implants however. Still not happy with he way they look. Not enough volume on top and. Bit asymmetrical on the bottom. I may need to go larger on top.

The dr I’m going to Hs really good lip results. I her he’s horrible with my other procedure but his lips are beautiful. I’m hoping it’s just the placement of the implants. I don’t go in until the 27th so I’ll let you know why he says. They just can’t be good at everything I guess!

I went to get another look at my lip implants and he said hey were placed perfectly my upper lip is till really small so I’m thinking of getting them replaced with a 5mm on top. I’m also considering small jaw implant! Why quit now! Bahhaha! Im also thinking of lip lift bu that freaks me out. a bit!

Thank you I’m really happy with the results. Thank you for the kind words!

You have to give it about 6 months for swelling and nerves to really try to settle down. I’m 6 months out from my tear trough surgery and I’m just starting to get feeling back along my nose. One side is still a bit tingly when I ouch it. The other side feels normal. It’s a good yet based on previous surgeries before you’re really finished healing.

Touch it not ouch it.

I had the tear trough surgery with Dr. A in February. I am 3 weeks & 2 days post-op. The left side of my face appears normal. The right side is swollen & yellow. I also have numbness in the right side of my lip & beneath that eye; as well as my left nostril. I’m having a lot of nerve pain. I’ve been taking a lot of Advil & Tylenol with no relief. Any suggestions? Is this the same experience you had?

I had major swelling and bruising from the get go. I’m 9 months out and I still have a bit of tingling on one side hen I scratch my skin. Look at my earlier photos. From the other postings it sounds like you’re doing really well! Try frozen peas on your face as often as you can. I iced a lot. I used Anica gel or bruising. I think you’re doing better ha I was! He’s really good at taking calls and answering emails. I’m sure I was annoying but he Leary’s responded. Ice Oaks really helped with he pain. I also took excedrin migraine for pain.

Jewel....you look fabulous! I had tear trough implants with Dr A September of 2017, he used the largest implant available from the manufacturer. He said he wished they made larger ones. Cosmetically it was successful and I would do it again. However, I do have a significant amount of numbness and tingling from my troughs to my upper lip. I also have a tiny clear runny nose all the time. I don't think I will get more healing at this point.....I am just getting use to it.....grrr And yes, patience, patience, patience. If I had not read Real Self reviews before my surgery, I would have freaked out after surgery....I was extremely stolen and it really took months to recover....its not easy, but thanks to Real Self I knew to be patience and keep my cool. It does get better.

Ask him to prescribe gabapentin. He did that for me & it really helps with the numbness & nerve pain in my face. I was hoping it would go away but you’re 6 months post-op. That scares me; I don’t want to be numb forever!

I’m amazed at he results! The hollowness is gone and the results are better than juvederm. It was worth he trip. An LA doctor was $13,000 for just the implants. Thank you for the compliment! I’m a bit critical of myself so I’m not totally Hppy yet, but I think when the swelling goes away I will be. My lips are crisply starting to look better and a bit fuller on top. So maybe the 4mm will be ok.

I’m going on 5 weeks this week and I still have significant swelling. It getting better but still looks like I’ve put a lot of weight on in my face. The buying is knot totally one except for one side. My nose and upper lip area is still a bit numb and sensitive. Th stitches on one side of my mouth didn’t dissolve so I had to take my own stitches out. My mouth actually feels great now and I had minimal swelling on my lips. Patience is not my strong suite and that’s my biggest hurdle right now! Thank for the kind words.

It was done with IV and I did get sick after surgery. One time and it was over. That’s par for me and sedation though. Swelling is still up and down and a bit of pain if I touch my right implant. Advil once. Day handles everything. I’m not even 5 weeks yet so I just need to be patient. If I slept elevated I’m sure it would help. I’m a Stomach sleeper so somehow I slide down at night.
