Confidence Booster

I received 1 session of on May 10th, I believe it was 4 viles. I have low pain threshold so opted for a local anesthetic. It still hurt like a mother during the injections and was very tender and painful immediately afterwards. I was swollen to a point that it was comical the next day. Seriously insane. After the second full day, I could hide the swelling with an all season scarf. The swelling remained at that level for about 2 full weeks. At the end of week 3, my chin area looked noticeably less full- less than what I had before the procedure. It improved more, although not dramatically, over the next 3 weeks. At my 6 week follow up, the before and after pics confirmed a significant visual improvement and my PA determined I did not need another round. Honestly I wouldn’t have been ready for another round at that point because the area still felt totally numb. The general numbness disapated around 2 months. Even now, almost 3 months later, the area still feels strange. Sort of pins and needles when pressure is applied. Not painful or annoying, but definitely not normal. Guess that’ll happen when you shoot bile into your face for the sake of beauty! More than anything, I am happy that my chin feels less full and floppy than before, even though the visual results are likely not that obvious to someone else. It was just enough for a confidence boost. I will be honest 2 days after the procedure I had an anxiety attack that I made a mistake but as the swelling subsided I started to relax.

I’ve posted pictures of all stages of the progress. Hopefully you are able to see my captions.
