Looking back at this softlift, I wouldn't do it again. I'm definitely going to get a full facelift done and have my own fat injected for fuller cheeks.

why wouldn't you do it again?

Because it doesn't last long enough. I would rather have put that money towards a facelift. Something more permanent.

That makes sense

Thank you for your review Tygalily. It's so helpful to read RS reviews and see pics and yours have been very informative. Would you mind me asking your age? Have you decided on date for full face lift yet? I'm going to check out your other review for BA too.

It's been three months since my softlift. The Botox is beginning to fade :( I need more, lol! Apparently by the time one has had a third set of Botox shots you won't need anymore, I'm down with that! Still enjoying the fuller face and cheekbones though :) The moment I have funds in hand, I'm going to go for a touch up. Ultimately I do want a facelift, so will be doing that before summer. Word of caution; be careful when having filler injected to cover dark circles, the filler can pool causing lumps, so go easy in that area, otherwise, over-all I'm pleased with the results.

Did u know u can get injections to dissolve many of the fillers? My Dr told me that to much filler had been injected to the area above my lb fold and before he could inject to give me the results I wanted the "chipmunks" would need to b dissolved. U might inquire.

I'm not sure where you got the info that you don't need more botox after 3 times. Sometimes it lasts a bit longer thank other times, but from my experience form having had botox on & off since 2006, you def will need it more than 3 times. Sorry to be the barer of and news. Also re: filler and botox- I bruised TERRIBLE in the crows feet area from my last botox ( dark yellow bruising & I was very careful not to have had ibuprofen etc, for 2 weeks before & I also had very dark circles for 6 months after filler under the eyes. It looked better, but I was forced to wear cover up daily- even when I went running.

I got this off the Botox website: The effects of a Botox injection are temporary. Your symptoms may return completely within 3 months after an injection. After repeat injections, it may take less and less time before your symptoms return, especially if your body develops antibodies to the botulinum toxin.

Sorry that you had a rough experience. I bruised also but the dark circles disappeared. loved that, just not the big pool of filler :( Although I look WAAAAAY better, I wouldn't do the filler again. Botox, yes, I'd do it again. I'm going for a facelift next and doing fat transfer to cheeks and cheek bones.

This is also incorrect information. If you develop antibodies to Botox it means it will no longer work for you and you may need to try a different neurotoxin. I am a nurse injector of aesthetic products.

I cut and paste that info off botox.com, i guess they must be wrong.

Hi, I was wondering how much your breast augmentation cost with dr. Rai?
Did you get Silicone or Gel and how many CC? Also i was wanting to get a filler under my eyes to hopefully get rid of my horrible dark circles. how much did it cost you and is it worth it ?
