I hated looking at myself in the mirror, my face...

I hated looking at myself in the mirror, my face was hollow and the dark circles and thinning lips gave away my age. I would hide my face with my hair. I wanted a facelift so badly and while researching I found a plastic surgeon to give me a softlift using Juvaderm and Botox. Dr. Rai certainly is an artist. He made measurements of my face, numbed it with cream and did his magic. Wow! I'm Beyond impressed. I no longer have dark circles or bags under my eyes. He redefined my cheekbones, filled my hollow face and marionette lines. My lips. Look AMAZING! I'm Definitely going to have a facelift within a year and do the softlift again. Pictures coming soon!

I have a post with pictures under juvederm. I am not very photogenic. Dr. Burgmeire also did my lips which I was not sure needed done but now it is my favorite part. I am very happy for only four days out. Only bruise was by left eye and it was the size of a freakle. At the temples I had just a little swelling but overall I was out shopping same day. Very, very pleased. I hope it lasts for most of a year.

Not happy with end result- NOT Worth it!

TygalilyDecember 23, 2014

I would definately not do this again. After the swelling went down, well what I thought was swelling turned out to be pooling of filler under my eyes just above my cheeks. Two lumps sitting there. I Constantly am hiding my face with my hair. Im so disappointed definitely Not worth $3000, I would have been better off saving that money toward a facelift.

Although overall happy with the result, I still am unhappy with the pooling under my eyes just above my cheeks. Im still hiding it with my hair.

Oh, no. So sorry to hear it wasn't a success. Maybe a full facelift is in your future.
Good luck, my dear.

I think I was too hasty with my last comment....

TygalilyJanuary 2, 2015

Over the past few days I have been working on a new painting, a self portrait. My partner took some images of my profile so that I could work on my design. When I looked at my images I was completely blown away by the huge difference I saw in my face. It's funny how quickly one forgets, but when I reviewed past images I realized my haste in judgement in my last post. The fact is, I'm amazed by the difference in my cheekbones and the fullness in my face. Happily Painting my own portrait and being so grateful to Dr. Rai for the beautiful work he did on my face.
