Tips for Fillers (Would of Helped Me So Much 2 Weeks Ago!)

$1,200
Hello,After getting fillers for a year I decided to get radiesse. I completely regret it. I know regret is a strong word but I do and it's my face that I look at. Here are some tips that I didn't read or know of before I was injected. (and I watched many videos beforehand and yet these things were not mentioned)1. Even if you like/ know your injector agree on the sites that you will be injected. This is what I used to do in the beginning of my fillers experience and helped me so much!My mistake: I got too trustworthy and let them take reign.2. Do not get Radiesse if you are younger. I know there is so much talk about "pillow face" with HA but Radiesse will give you fat alien face and ya can't dissolve it. Unless you like that more unnatural look. (some people do)3. Get one procedure done at a time. I only really wanted my under eyes filled and I left with cheek filler and no under eyes filled because the cheek filler was that bad she decided not to do it!4. It's a process! This really is a process even the top celebrities like Kylie Jenner has had unpleasant fillers done, and she has the access to the top injectors. It happens! What this has taught me is to be more conservative with filler and if you see someone who looks overfilled and botoxed, let's stop judging! You don't know if they got botched and already feel down about it OR if they like it that way.It truly is the inside that counts. Less is more.

PM me. I found a way to remove it after suffering from 2015-2019.
Hello love. I am in the same boat. Trusted my injector way too much, now I'm stuck with radiesse. Worst part is she never told me she was using it!! I assumed she was using HA like we always did in my Lips. But no she decided to use a non dissolvable filler for my first time getting cheek filler. Anyway now that it's been a year, has your sharpness gone down? I am feeling like malificent. It is really effecting me. I am 1 month post injecting, and although the swelling has gone, the angular sharp cheekbones (unnatural looking) remain. . I don't want to go outside, I can't focus on much else. Was never a depressed person, now I am. Please let me know how you are fairing 1 year later.

I have been trying out fillers for a year now. At first I was conservative with the amount and where I would be injected then I got confident and too trustworthy of my injector (my first errors) as now I am unhappy with my results. I jumped the gun and asked for both cheek and under eye filler, by cheek I meant under my under eyes, but since I was comfotable and we've spoken about it in previous appointments I thought we were on the same page. I figured I wouldn't mind spending the money and I liked my previous cheek filler results, so I ended up getting Radiesse done. Worst mistake ever! It looked like maleficent and squidward in the sculpting episode. I do not recommend Radiesse and I only got 1.5. We did not end up doing under eye filler (which is what I really wanted) because the radiesse looks awful! Please do your research! For many people radiesse actually gives you overfilled cheekbones that make you appear older and fatter. Just saying, we hear a lot about the HA fillers "pillow face look" but the real culprit is radiesse. At least with an HA filler if you get a pillow face you can request to dissolve it (easy) whereas radiesse, now I am waiting. I really hope it goes down and if anyone has any tips for it to go down please let me know. I do not recommend radiesse UNLESS you are within your 70's (yes I said 70) and have a ton of loss of volume in some areas. Only in that situation would I say go for it! Please do research radiesse and cheek fillers can actually make you appear older! Let's get out of this cheek filler hype, even though I have that look now and advocating for the opposite would help me, it's not true, this entire process has truly showed me that we are definitely highly influenced, conditioned and almost programmed to perceive which features are "beautiful" at one point that bump on the sides of the face were "in" but it's not "in" at all, the way you look is great. There is also lots of this on youtube, just do things that really need work, like my under eyes which I know am waiting for. That one procedure alone, that costs less than what i paid for, makes me look awake and like myself. It's so true you yourself with MINOR tweaks look better.
