WORTH IT$550
I am 53 and I noticed those darn pesky folds along the sides of my nose. I did some research and then was lucky to find an excellent doctor.
My 'Doubting Thomas' husband thought it was a waste of time and good money, but he went with me. (I previously had Botox and he did not see any great results.)
After I came out he actually was amazed. He said I looked wonderful and he was taken aback by how quick the results were. It lasted a very long time, over a year. I had it again and it has even lasted longer the second time.
I really feel the best results are achieved when you have a qualified doctor perform the procedure.
After all, it is the artist, not the paint that makes a painting beautiful.

The Dr who did my filler.
The Doctor's name is Jerome Potozkin in Danville, Ca. He used to be in Walnut Creek. I think he is excellent.

I was wondering how your skin is now after its been a long time since you had the filler? is it worse? the same? lumps? I'm very curious on how the skin reacts long term after fillers. Could you please update if possible?

Just a general answer, I have been getting filler for a few years and you can get bumps right away or after a few days - however, I think the woman who posted this had her filler done in 2007 and from my experience you won't develop bumps or anything long term. If anything, the repeated use of filler promotes natural collagen growth which can only mean you look better naturally and that you need less filler over time. This is what I have experienced. My doctor has had to use less filler in me bc I have boosted my own collage supply. Please also know that I personally have never gotten bumps or even bruising from my filler but I think that has a lot to do with my doctor's incredible skill at injection and placement.

Hey guys, I just wanted to jump in since a few people have requested she share who her doctor is. We leave it optional if someone wants to share that, as not everyone feels comfortable providing that information.
I know its not the exact info you are after, but if you click on the Find a Doctor tab near the top of the page you can find see doctors in your area who have profiles, reviews from other community members, and Q&A answers. Hopefully that will help give you an idea of what they are like and if they are someone you would like to consider seeing.
Hope that helps some!
Thank you for your post. Your right, I do not feel comfortable posting his name without his permission.
I called him to ask if it was OK, and as soon as he responds and is in agreement, I will post all of his info.
