"WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG?!!" Amazing results! Amazing doctor! -Glendale, CA

So, here I am a year and somewhat months later and I did in fact get my second and third set of injects by Dr. John Vartanian and it went seamlessly! Honestly, I have always thought of myself as a very unlucky person when it comes to plastic surgery, but now I realize it was because of lack of research. I can truly say I did my research on this procedure FOR YEARS before finally trusting my eyes with Dr. John Vartanian and now, I can't imagine my life without restylane under my eyes.

So to break it down, I went in for my second time and I opted into only getting half a syringe which the doctor clearly stated I needed a full one (but due to finances I went for only half -- which I may add is rare that most doctors even offer such an option ...to do the inject themselves for half a syringe), so immediately after and for at least two days the results were beautiful and to quote the doctor "you will like the swelling" because it looked like I had a full syringe and per usual he was ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. I couldn't stop taking selfies (shameful, I know) because my eyes looked fantastic from any and every angel. I had a slight bruise but was easily covered with makeup. Once the swelling sat, the results were still nice, but again not as good because my problem required more product to fix.

So fast forward three months to yesterday, I went back to see him for a full syringe and LET ME TELL YOU THIS MAN IS A GOD AT WHAT HE DOES. So not only did the doctor himself take photos, numb me up (like always), he iced me, he came in a few times to check on me and when he did the procedure he actually talked me thru it. First off, I felt NOTHING, I was jumpy because I'm usually nervous (mental), but it felt like one minute and we were done. I woke up this morning with no make up on and I feel like a million bucks. He told me while he was doing the injects that I looked like I had a tiny bruise on my left eye, but I woke up this morning with NO BRUISES, only tiny dots where the injection sites were and a mere discoloration (which is more due to my skin than the injects) and very very minimal swelling.

I feel like I'm being too detailed, but when I was looking to do this procedure I was so insecure and down, I was in my mid-twenties and I felt like I looked like I was near 40. Although I am aware that everyone has different faces and skin types, I can't stress enough that the doctor you decide on for this type of procedure is SO IMPORTANT. In my case, I got lucky to have found a local doctor who is not only talented at what he does, but he actually cares and takes the time with each patient. This procedure is likely one of the less expensive ones he does and I'm certain isn't what makes his practice rich, but the fact that a doctor who is so busy can treat a patient who may only be spending $500 the same amount of attention and care that a patient spending $10,000 says more than the world. His bedside manner is impeccable, his care and patience is unmatched and on top of it his WORK is flawless. Oh and not to mention, I'm used to living in LA and seeing beautiful girls at the front desk of pretty much any doctor's office, but to have a staff that is equally informed, polite, helpful, kind and beautiful is just the cherry on top. The girls who work here just after three visits have become like friends who I would trust to say anything to. It's just an all in all great experience and if you are planning on doing this procedure and have the ability to come to LA or are in LA, believe me when I say just go see Dr. John Vartanian and I can promise you that at the very least even if he doesn't do your procedure, you won't regret having met him.

Hi, everyone, so here I am 9 months later and some of the product is gone, but still much better than it was before I got it. I'm scheduled to go for my second round in three weeks and I will write a review of my second time around and how my results turn out.

Hi, everyone so it's been five months since I got my injections and I still so GLAD I did. The swelling from sleeping on my eye that one time went down in 24 hours and now I'm more careful of how I sleep and haven't expereienced any swelling since.

I am noticing that it is starting to wear off as it doesn't look as good as it did five months ago, but still a WORLD of difference and I'm not complaining especially since I recently looked back at before pictures and how terrible they were. I am considering going back again for a second round althought I am a little afraid since I have heard people having great results the first time and terrible ones the second. I think I trust my doctor though.
