Jill Porter, an RN at Innovative Directions in Health, Edina,MN is a lovely woman who is not only kind, gentle, patient, caring and highly experienced but is funny and instills calm and peace in you during the procedure. She made the experience fun and was very thorough. I will be seeing her again and again and cannot recommend her enough. Lisa, the office manager, and Sarah, the other RN there are all very knowledgable,kind and helpful as well. Dr. Sinda is also a miracle worker heading up this wonderful clinic and has literally greatly improved the quality of my life with bio identical hormones custom tailored for me. I have been taking them for a few years now and feel younger and more energetic with no hot flashes anymore. I cannot recommend this place high enough ladies!

You look great, thank you for sharing your updated photos!

What was the deciding factor that made you move forward with getting the procedure? Are you planning any other procedures in the future or have you met your goal?

Thanks!

Thank you Chris. The deciding factor was that I felt this sag was happening too quickly and it was bothering me. The timing of my yearly check up with my Doctor was key as this is when I was introduced to Jill RN. I am going to see how long this lasts on my face and consider the cost. A full facelift may be in order at some point.

Drs name?
amazing results! You look fabulous
You look beautiful!!
Thank you
Wow ! You look absolutely beautiful! I feel like I looked so young in my early 4O’s. I got so many compliments. Then all of a sudden in my 43rd year, my face aged about 10 years! I don’t even make eye contact with people like I used to. I have an appointment to get Radiesse in two weeks with an experienced dermatologist I trust. I’ve had Botox for years, but I’m ready for something more. I don’t want to look 20, but I don’t want to look haggard either! I’m nervous, and I hope it goes well! Your pics and story gives me hope! Thank you

Pre Sag days

Yes the results after a Radiesse were immediate. I went in with the intention of having 2 syringes (1.2) of Radiesse but added one more for the naso labial folds/marionette lines and very glad I did. I think that 3rd one made a big difference overall from a subtle change to a more dramatic complete change.

Wow you look great your dr done a great job!! I wish my doctor could of been so good he completely disfigured my face with that stuff it's nice to see it's not the filler but the person behide the needle you look 10 years younger :-)) enjoy x
I'm so sorry that happened to you. I know I was reluctant myself but I had an abundance of confidence in the RN that did it or I never would have risked it. Thank you for the nice comments.
You certainly didn't look 52 in that photo either and looked younger. Its great that the injector was able to reproduce a natural look similar to how you looked before. All too often results can be unnatural and misshapen with the person looking nothing like they used to. Or alternatively they are "underdone". Ie:the injector doesn't place enough filler to make the person more visually attractive.Sure,they might have slightly less sag or more volume but the results arn't aesthetically lovely and make no real difference. Im really glad your injector had a good aesthetic eye.
She sculpts faces for hobby at home and loves it. She's familiar with the artistic side of shadowing, etc. I feel fortunate to have found her!!!! I consider her a rare gem in the world of the art of facial injections :)
You really look great and lucky you having such a great injector! Can you say again where she put the Radiesse - NLFs, cheeks, temples, marionnette lines? And was the juvederm just for lips or for tear troughs too? I've tried out various fillers over the years and have to say that Radiesse worked best for my NLFs. Juvederm disappeared quickly and it is too "runny" to really build out volume if you need it. I never tried radiesse in the marionette line area because I was afraid of face looking bottom-heavy but after seeing your lovely results I want to try it! Unfortunately I'm too far away and I can't travel long distance to see your ace injector. I wonder if she would consider looking at my pics for a fee to let me know if she thinks I'm on the right track and make suggestions.
Nlf's and cheeks only I believe. She doesn't inject into tear troughs at all. I can't recall if she did the marionette lines with the Radiesse but I don't think so. She may have used Juvaderm there as well as Juvaderm for the lips and deep lip vertical line.
My temples didn't need anything as they were good, I recall her saying.
Thank you :)
I had Juvederm voluma injected about five weeks ago in Eye, cheek, temple, lips, and chin area. I love the results. Voluma should last two years and I sure hope so. I like u am thrilled with the results. U do look wonderful.
Thank you! Is it not the best to feel refreshed and happy with the results?!?! How many syringes of Voluma did you use? What was the cost per syringe?
I had six. He started out telling me they were $900 each but after using so many for the results. We agreed on he charged me $3,000 for all six.
That was an amazing deal!! Great for you! :-D
What is the name of the Dr?
You look amazing. Your injector really knows what they are doing. I think you did just the right amount and not overfilled at all considering the volume used.
Thank you :). I think there just was a lot of space to fill in this old face! :-D

LOL!
