5 days later : In the morning, when I wake up,...
In the morning, when I wake up, still this itching feeling, well not exactly itching, but this feeling that I've got a sort of irritation under my skin, in the flesh of my cheeks. It's not an impression I'm not sure of, it's there !
It makes me worry a bit... Then during the day it's ok.
Also, I have a dark pigmented bruising under my right eye. The first injections I had done one year ago in my tear through also had cause a slight bruising that hadn't gone. My dermatologist said that it was just a shadow cast by a skin depression but it was not.
The proof is that this second injection seemignly worsened it.
It's not horrible, but I can see it.
Also I'm a man, and some roughness in my skin texture is more tolerable.
Though, if any time I have something injected in this area I get a permanent bruising and hyper-pigmentation as a result, I'll end up having black-circled eyes !
Honestly, I think that I will switch to some surgical procedure... I prefer to know that i run some specific risks right after a surgical procedure then not knowing what might happen in one, two... or six months...
Ok, so the swelling seemingly was due the...
One year before, I had already had some hyaluronic acid injections in my tear through (a product made in France called Stylage, that doesn't seem to be very "famous" and injected by a dermatologist) to fill them a bit and I had had just a little swelling and bruising so I didn't expect to see my face swollen like a hamster's.
I think my surgeon should have warned me, I spent two days feeling horrible, thinking I was going to be disfigured for at least one month.
Still I'm not satisfied, I have very little volume on my cheekbones and still too much on my lower cheeks, thus enhancing my natural defaults. It's pretty slight though, and not disfiguring at all. Just not satisfactory for the price paid.
Also, where my tear through were, I've been having since a sort of "malar pocket" (as my surgeon called it). It's not as ugly as the tear through I had before but still doesn't look very nice :-(
I expected this injections to fill up this slightly hollows that cast a shadow but it seems they cannot be filled and I really wonder why ! It's like there no product could stay and fill it up !
A few days have passed and I still feel my lower cheeks like if they were irritated inside, specially after sleeping, but nothing too worrying or bothersome.
In four months, I'll go back to see my doctor for some botox injections (I'm very satisfied with) and we will discuss the matter. Maybe we didn't understand each other on the result I was expecting. I'm also going to ask him why there's seemingly nothing that can be done about these "malar bags" under my eyes.
I have always had very a poorly defined...
Provider Review
I had the fillers injected on Friday. On Friday night and Saturday I was quite disfigured, and in panic. On Sunday I sent my surgeon an email telling him that i was disfigured, that he had put too much product, and so on. He replied to me right away (on a non-working day, which was pretty nice of him) telling him that it was not possible that I could go on looking like an hamster, that the swelling was certainly traumatic and not due to the hyaluronic acid and that I should wait a bit and see and eventually put some ice on my cheeks. I'm waiting for the final effect to show up, then I'll take some pictures and send them over to him in order to let him see why I'm not really satisfied with the result.
