Fillers worked great for me

It's been over a year since I started seeing Dr. David Mabrie and I'm very pleased. The idea of surgery on Mr face was too much for me. I've had fillers added to my tear troughs and cheeks.

May I ask how long does the filler last? and how much does it cost?

They don't really last because you have to get "touch ups" every six months or so. The Volumina in my mid face area was $1200.00, the Restilyn (wrong spelling?) used under my eyes was $800.00
My first visit was $2000 and I go maybe every 6+ months at $1,000 a visit.
For me the best part is that it is reversible if I don't like the look I get.
Dr. David Mabrie in SanFrancisco is the best!!

Thank you for sharing. I've heard horror stories about reversing. I know this is an old post but some people were left with dents under their eyes that weren't previously there?

It's so easy - just do it, but only with Dr. Mabrie.
First he cleaned my face, 2-4 pricks to numb (doesn't hurt), marks area and fills/molds.
I'm looking forward to my next treatment maybe in 3-4 weeks.
So attached are my photos from the day of my consultation, treatment day, and day after.
I'm very pleased with my result so far:)

I may be starting a new job so bye-bye to two weeks at home, so now I'm researching fillers for correction until I can get the full surgery. I would love to start my new job with a fresh look:)

Does anyone know about fillers? Or if its even an option for my eye bags?

This is such a scary decision ...

I don't know much about under eye fillers but I just had my lower bleph about two weeks ago and my healing went buy very quickly. I wasn't in really any pain and I was presentable within 4 days(though I still rested a lot). Fillers may not last as long as the surgery but I think it is best to let a surgeon look at you and decide what would be the best for you. I've been to two surgeons and my Dermatologist and they all said the same thing so that's how I made my choice.

I had fillers for eye bags. While they helped me, they do not last. You need to keep getting it done and could be very costly. I decided to get Upper and Lower bleph. Best decision I ever made. Was healed and presentable for work within 10 days. But if time is an issue, try the fillers - they do help but surgery is the best.

Hi There! Feel free to read my recent review of tear trough implant surgery to correct lower eyebags. I am very happy. Just now 2 weeks post op. I will try to post updated pics today. My main reason for going this route was the permanent solution vs having to keep up with getting fillers, or potentially getting a hollow eye look with fat removal.
