I had a facelift two years ago without Amy fillers...

$2,500

I had a facelift two years ago without Amy fillers or fat grafting and a few places look like they needed some plumbing up. Today I went for a consult with Perfect Skin in Chandler, Az. I was very impressed with Dr Burgmeier. First he asked what I seen, then he told me what he seen. Together we reviewed my picture taken years ago. He asked about injectibles I has done in the past and the told me why he asked. He could tell the that nasal fold had some fillers and it was them that was causing a lot of the problem in the area. He explained that first it needed to b dissolved before we preceded further. He then recommended juevaderm in the hollowed check area, temple, chin and under the eyes at a future date. And botox in the area between the eye brows.
The injection for dissolving the excessive juevederm was painless and only $100. I did not know a Dr did anything for that little. It will take 45 units of botox and 2-3 syringes of filler at $800 each. After the fillers r done next week I will have a follow up three weeks later.

I have confidence in this Dr. He seemed to analize my face and features from every angle and compare it the today and the old picture of myself explaining what he would to, why, and what to expect. Next week I will post pictures. Wish me luck.

It is Tempe and not Chandler, Arizona. Please excuse the typos.

I updated the location for you. Definitely let us know how it goes! $100 isn't bad for dissolving- how long ago did you get the original fillers?

It is Tempe. There really needs to be an edit button so we can correct typos and other mistakes. August of 2013 was when the fillers were injected. I guess it was meant to stay. I can see that some of the filler has left but do not know if he will need to do another dissolve or not.

I agree about the edit button! I found this video and thought you might be interested- I thought it was really interesting:

Just figured something out.

ColoradoMaidenFebruary 10, 2015

Last week when I had my initial appointment with Dr. Burgmeire when I came into the room he continued to study the chart in front of him before he acknowledged me. At first I thought it was sort of rude but I have come to realize he was studying my photos to best enhance what he seen and coordinate with my desires. Five days after the dissolve was injected One side looks really good and think that most of the filler was is gone. The other side looks like like it may still have filler that needs dissolved. It is amazing how those nasal folds lessen with just removing excessive filler or filler injected in the wrong area. I have great confidence in Dr Burgmeire. I had no swelling, bruising, or any indication of any type injection. I may have to reschedule my appointment for this week because of a death in the family so we will b flying to Texas for a few days. I would not want to go to a funeral looking like an accident victim.

He had been sick for some time. The university hospital had given him an option that would have required long term hospitalisation and he decided against it. He was am amazing man. The family will miss him.

I'm glad it was on his terms (as much as that kind of thing can be), but I'm still sorry for you and your family. It still isn't easy. Safe travels.

Jill, just go to juvederm and look. My posting do not show up there. Where is it posted?

J at RS

February 11, 2015

I'm not sure what you mean- this review doesn't show up on the juvederm community page?

ColoradoMaiden

February 11, 2015

If I put juvederm into the rs site search it brings up the posts in the juvederm category. My posts r no where to be found with that search.

February 11, 2015

I find 41& whatever, finally . . . lips, and many more but none of mine.

If you notice the "sort by" feature underneath where you can narrow down the search results you can click on recent- this will show your review in the top few results. I see it as the fifth review.

I'm not sure how the algorithms work for the best match sort (which is the default) other than pictures help, but I usually use the recent sort to search.

ColoradoMaiden

February 12, 2015

Why is it that my 3 hr posting is after ones that were days old even under most recent? Just frustrated.

J at RS

February 12, 2015

I'm honestly not sure. I did send your review and feedback to our support team so we can see if anything is going on with our end or if they can enlighten me on how it works. I'll let you know. Sorry for the frustration!

J at RS

February 12, 2015

Okay here is what I've learned- the algorithm sorts reviews based on number of photos, number of updates and number of comments. I think if you add some before photos it will help a lot since you update pretty frequently. This will then increase the number of views and then comments.

As for why reviews that had older updates ranked higher than yours when using the recent filter- it has to do with comments. They had a more recent comment than your review did so it counts as more recent activity.

I know you are really active on RealSelf so keep in mind that the juvederm community is much smaller and quieter than the other communities you participate in.

I hope all of that helps!

I am beginning to think posting is a waste

ColoradoMaidenFebruary 11, 2015

Starting last week I started posting my journey with juvederm and even the ability of a PS to dissolve old misplaced fillers. Has anyone seen my post? If so just reply with "K" or anything else u would like. When I enter Juvederm in the the RS site search I do not find my posting; therefore, I am interested in seeing if anybody else is seeing my posts. Thx.

K Waiting to hear your final opinion about the fillers

ColoradoMaiden

February 19, 2015

I am not photogenic. To look in the mirror I love it. It does not appear to have much swelling so I hope it does not change much. I was not gung ho on doing the lips but I can not see much difference and can visually she an improvement there also. Just loving it at this point.

I have found RS to be a big help when I am considering a procedure. I have discarded some of the things after read posts or found something that I did not even know was done.I find tthe site very informative.

Hi I am reading as I am considering juvederm for marionette lines- am also looking at fat transfer but concerned about the fact it is harder to reverse- thanks for your input

ColoradoMaiden

February 24, 2015

I may try fat transfer with this Dr but years ago I had some for the turn down by my lips and It migrated between lip and chin leaving a pea size lump. I think this Dr could do it right without that problem. Good luck

ColoradoMaiden

February 25, 2015

I think that Dr Burgmeire did more with adding volume to the cheeks that lifted the foldsthan tthe injections had that had attempted to fill the fold. U might ask ur Dr about that. In fact he "dissolved" some of the old filler that had been placed in NL fold. Different Dr, different technics. Good luck.

Hi thanks will ask my doctor about that
