Wanted to Get Rid of Eye Bags, Was Talked into Fillers by Two Different Consultants - Guilford, CT

I want to clarify this review that I did. I did NOT have Bellafill placed under my eyes or in my tear troughs. They were placed appropriately at the malar junction in order to lift my cheeks and reduce the presence of the bags under my eyes. I initially went to a surgeon to talk about surgery and I was told to have injections. I did not feel comfortable with his injector so I picked an injector that was incredibly highly qualified well reputed. What I really needed was surgery. However she did nothing wrong, she was professional and kind and I would trust her with any type of injectables that I do need to have. The fault lies with the surgeon who said that he did not recommend surgery. I have since gone to another plastic surgeon had my lower lids corrected surgically and I am unbelievably pleased with the results. Kati is the best in the business around here. I am finding that some of the questions and responses I’m getting to this with you indicate that people are misreading and mis-interpreting what I had done. Thanks!!!

I have always hated the bags under my eyes and since I hit my 40's, they have become more prominent. I went to 2 different plastic surgeons and each recommended either Bellafill or Sculptura. I did my research and went with Bellafill and went with a highly reputable injector. I also had PDO threats placed. My target was the bags under my eyes and I was told that by lifting my cheeks a bit, the bags would be less noticeable. I had 3 syringes done the first time with, as you can see, minimal results by 2 months. (I agree my cheeks are lifted but the bags are still prominent). I went back in November and had 3 more syringes placed. The last picture is about 5 months after my first set of syringes and as you can see there is not much difference. Not enough difference to justify what I spent, anyway. My injector was very nice, very professional and did give me my second set of injections at a reduced price, but I am still out $4000 and left with less than satisfactory results.
