WORTH IT$1,100
I went on a major exercise program and lost 20 lbs of fat and gained 10 lbs of muscle. Although my body transformaton was great I lost a TON of volume in my face. If I would have known this weight loss would have had such a dramatic impact on my facial fat I would have never done this at the age of 40! I totally regret it and rather be a few pounds heavier and have my full face.
My biggest issue with my face is my jowls and they actually started to develop BEFORE my weight loss. I thought by losing the weight I would lose jowl fat but instead I loss mid-face fat. Ladies don't lose a lot weight after 40!
After a full consultations I decided to get Perlane in my upper cheeks. I went to Nouveau medspa and was injected by RN Lorraine Wilson. She is an expert injector and actually teaches other nurses and doctors her technique. She numbed my face with a topical cream and let it sit for 20 minutes. She then injected a total of 3 vials. (1&1/2 vial per cheek) I really do like the result but I feel like I need more and the bottom half of my face still needs to be addressed. Overall I feel it was a good experience but a bit pricey for something that will not last.

There must have been swelling in your after images! So does your results look the same after swelling was gone? These are beautiful results though

I had horrible swelling for 4-5 days but the after pics are post 2 weeks so they are the real results. No touch ups but it is totally gone, only lasted like 9 months. :(
