Just wondering if a thread to discuss only facial procedures might be helpful....

I had Restylane and Radiesse dermal filler treatments 10 days ago around my mouth and nasolabial folds. The results are just so awesome and I'm very pleased! I had Botox injections on the frown lines between my brows 4 days ago and those results are also very impressive!! I am so glad I had it done and I'm hooked!

I have a blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) scheduled for July 3rd and now am more anxious than ever to get that done!

At first I considered much more extensive procedures like a brow lift, liposuction in the jowel and chin area, laser resurfacing, etc. But now I'm soooo glad I opted for these less invasive ones because I am thrilled with the results!

Wow, what a lovely subtle and natural result! You must be thrilled, you look lovely, not at all stitched up and "done". I'm gonna start saving now!

Terry and Karey,

I too got some Botox, between my brows, on my forehead and around my crows feet, and can say I am definitely hooked. I just love the results! I only bruised on one side of my eyes by my crows feet and it wasn't black, thank goodness. I definitely will be getting the Botox regularly. I also got Perlane in my nasolabial folds and the results are okay, just not as dramatic as the botox. A week later, I got my brows tattooed on permanently and will be going for a touch-up on 6/9. I felt like the vainest person on the planet, but then decided that I was worth it. I have spent many years not liking what I saw in the mirror and now I like the way I look, especially with non-surgical interventions like Botox and Perlane to help with the downside of aging.

Jacqui,

If they use the Botox sparingly, you don't get that expressionless or blank look. My Nurse likes to use less, so you still are able to look like yourself and have facial expressions.

Angelnurse,

Do you have a closeup pic of the eyebrow tattooing? I am super curious as I have such light colored brows. That's what I get for being a fair skinned redhead. Oh well. LOL Thanks in advance for possible pics or any advice and pricing of having this done.

I'm booked to have fillers put in (cheeks and marionette lines) and some botox around my eyes in August (2,000 Canadian). I am booked in to have thermage for my neck and face (1500.00 Canadian) 3 weeks later. I think I will also pay the extra 500 to have thermage for my eyelids as well. I hope I will be happy. Its alot of money, but I'm not ready for a face lift yet. I'll be 50 in the fall, but I'd like to put it off for awhile. I need a tummy tuck, LBL, inner thigh lift and breast lift. I'm not even going to talk about my arms. The less I can do without more surgery the better. If I'm happy with thermage, I may consider it for my arms and calves- who knows. But losing wt does have its down side (yards and yards of excess skin!)

Hi is there any way you could help I need a bletheraplasty as I have xanthelasma on both eye lids, I need to no how about getting this done, where and how much it costs please help me as my condition is getting me down thanks helpneeded
