Heading towards 2 months...

I thought a few selfies were in order to show my results. Apologies as I know they're not the best but hopefully they show what's going on volume wise. I'm thinking about another vile but am not sure if I'm jumping the gun & not giving it enough time. Main concern spot is the wrinkles directly under my eyes. I think the sculpra around the temple areas has really mitigated the crow's feet.

I was pretty bruised around the naso labial folds where some threading was done into the tissues as opposed to the deeper injection sites, however the bruising has almost completely gone now.

As we can see, a severe case of 'narrow face' to be attended to/enhanced.

I headed down to Skin Chemistry on Nicholson Street & saw Carmen Redfern. So far she has been doing some conservative botox injections for about a year now & had explained & suggested sculptra for me as I have a long thin face & have experienced a little volume loss over this past year with a lot more anticipated in the future. I was a little 'chicken' as I've never been a fan of needles, but the discomfort was nowhere near as bad as I had anticipated & the numbing cream she used did the trick perfectly. I have a bit of redness & swelling & a modest bruise on one of my cheeks but this should all die down pretty rapidly. Carmen is very down to earth & has a good understanding of the physiology of different faces. She is an experienced theater nurse in addition to doing cosmetic injections & has been trained by a leading dr who treats people affected by the facial wasting associated with hiv/aids here in Melbourne (for which this treatment was first approved). If you are considering this treatment I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Carmen & she operates out of a few clinics. Skin Chemistry is a great clinic in general & I'm very lucky to live so close by (they offer many treatments). I will load up some pics soon & will update this as time goes on. I'm going back in 5 days to have some botox in my jaw muscles too to soften my face.
