Stop Asking Me if I'm OK! - Toronto, ON

ORIGINAL POST

I'm a happy person. I smile a lot. I laugh a lot....

I'm a happy person. I smile a lot. I laugh a lot. But when I'm not animated my face turns upside down from a smile to a frown. And I'm tired of people asking me if I'm OK. So, rather than looking like an always smiling idiot, I've decided after many years to get some "work done". I'm starting slow. Although I definitely need a neck and lower face lift, I'm going with filler for now. Altho I live in Fla, my significant other lives in Toronto where the American dollar is worth about 30% more. Armed with Arnica 30 and cream. I'm having the filler injections on Tues, 10/27. I did a lot of research, including your info on here and "interviewed" several Drs. My last trip to Toronto. I decided to go with Dr. David Ellis. I like his credentials, his resume and his assistant, Yan. She is terrific, patient, answers all questions and always available the few times I've called. BTW, I'll be 73 in November. That's why, if the photos are sidewise, I don't have a clue how to turn them. Just turn you head.

Thank you for posting and happy early birthday!

Where are you having the filler injected? Let us know how it goes and be sure to post lots of pics!!

As of now, until I get to Dr Ellis's office, we plan on injecting Juvederm Voluma to plump up the cheek area to hopefully (my words) lift my jaw line a bit. Also Juverderm in the deep lines around my mouth and a touch in my lips. There may be some Botox involved, but I'll have a better idea when I see the Dr and Yan on Tues 11/27.

You look absolutely wonderful when you smile! Hopefully you're able to achieve less of a frown when your face is relaxed. Good luck!

LOL Thanks, but my face was relaxed! I better post a not so scary photo where I'm smiling without makeup!

Posting another photo that's not so scary. Was going for really really bad photos so the "after's" will look better. ;-) I Ieave for Toronto in the morning the weekend before seeing Dr Ellis on Tues.

Granted I'm not having "real surgery"...just filler. But, it is my face, we're talking about and I've had a version of it for nearly 73 years! Yes. I'm a bit apprehensive but mostly excited. I will update with comments and photos as I can. In the meantime, thank you for all your support and kind words.
