One year later, so glad I did it. Added tear trough filler recently too.
Scars are invisible and have been for months thanks to the skill of my surgeon. I’m so glad I did my homework here on Real Self. Just last week a friend in McLean told me the “plastic surgeon” who did her upper and lower lids was in fact a dentist. Her complications worked out but she had a great deal of pain and worry. Is she a stupid woman? No. She has a JD from the University of Chicago and an equally smart friend referred her to this guy who makes a fortune as an unqualified surgeon.
I had my tear troughs filled 2 weeks ago, plus Botox around my crows feet, between my brows and in my forehead. A little in my smoking lines and in my lips. Filler is so painful in and round my lips. You girls that get your lips filled, you are my sHeroes! My girlfriends think I look great, super refreshed, and they’re all getting their tear troughs done, plus the Botox or at least the Botox.

People Really Do Say "You Look Great! Did You Do Something?"
I'm sorry I waited so long. Scars healing. Swelling resolving. Sometimes my right eyelid seems droopy. That eye is smaller anyway so it needs to stay open. My Dr. is great. If it doesn't resolve along with swelling/healing, she will fix it. Sculptra swelling is pretty much gone. Terrifying lumps too. Waiting for collagen;-)
Stitches Out Doing Well, Except Sculptra Stress!!!
Stitches came out and I'm still a happy camper. So nice to wear mascara again. Haha! I have "borrowed" makeup from my 15 year old daughter. Payback! Some pain when the stitches were pulled from my right lid. Ow. Some swelling caused temporary asymmetry, more than I have anyway. Obsessed about that until it settled. I'm such a spazz.
Yet I go ahead. Then obsess and drive myself, family and PS cray cray if there are complications, even imagined ones. I try to avoid anything likely to cause any kind of "complication." I should have sherlocked Sculptra here before asking my excellent, expert PS to give me my first round of the stuff. I'm sure it's going to be fine, but the recovery and my reaction to the product is just too stressful for me. Fellow neurotics;-) Beware!

Provider Review
Oculoplastic Surgeon, Board Certified in Ophthalmology
Sanctuary Cosmetic Center, McLean, Virginia
Excellent facial plastic surgeon but I chose her for her expertise in eyes - double board certified in ophthalmology and ocular facial plastic surgery. Added in the fractional laser because they have expertise in that too. Super professional. Office in Reston is a very nice medical office. Sanctuary location in Tysons in gorgeous.
