Caution! I have concealer on
Update--Two stars for procedure results!
Not happy with the result in my left eye AT ALL...looks like there is product near the surface & I also I have: hemosiderin stains.
"Hemosiderin staining is a medical condition in which one presents yellow or brown patches on the skin. These are in fact the result of the macrophages consuming the dead red blood cells, leading to the production of hemosiderin."
I'm too scared to get it fixed by the office. My derm recommended laser for the stains. Said dissolving could be painful...I already had to have one red spot removed from the left eye. I have the hemosiderin stains under both & they are not fun to cover!
No issues with the botox but I felt like it pulled my eyes down near my crows feet. I looked weird...Not sure what I would recommend at this point. Other than prepare to deal with something if goes wrong. This is your face!

do you think it was from the dr no being very good, or do you think you had a bad reaction?

Dear Windy Joy, We are very sorry to hear that you are not happy with your results. Please give our office a call so that Dr. Ho can address your concerns.

Sorry things started to go wrong for you...I had fillers to fill in under eye hollows for the first time in July 2015 and then again in April this year, and except for a tiny bruise on my cheek and a bit of swelling for a few days, I had no problems both times. I had Juvaderm Voluma which is reported to be less likely to cause lumps and has lidocaine in it so is safer as no mixing of vials before injection. I intend to have it every 9 months to 1 year and am saving regularly for this. I would recommend Juvaderm Voluma although of course it depends on the skill of the practitioner in injecting it too.

Oh dear, sorry to hear this. What is the Dr. telling you? Are they saying it's an allergic reaction to the product?

6 month update -beware of Hemosiderin staining
Please beware of Hemosiderin staining....
They can use q-switched lasers to remove the stains...and I have already had one "red spot removed"....it's really taking away from me enjoying the results....
