Augmentation Reviews

I had restylane injected on a Monday today is the fouth day and is totally gone. It's not fair I paid $550, to me it was too much money but I hate my wrinkles around my mouth so I did it. I regret it because it did not work for me and I'll be paying my credit card for a while.

I've had Radiance for facial laugh lines (I am 47) and I loved it! The cost was $500.oo and it lasted 7 months. I am about to have it done again. It was a painful procedure don't let anyone kid you or at least it was to me. The numbing shots are as painful as the filler injections, but the results are so great you bet I am doing it again. Swelling about a day, brusing minimal 3-5 days.

I'm 40 years old and have been living with terrible acne scars since I was 20. I finally did something about it and spent a LOT of time researching the options.

After meeting with a highly regarded plastic surgeon in Los Angeles, we opted to go with Radiance. The injections are done in the doctors office and there is no down time. There is some mild pain associated with the injections, but it's not too bad.

The results are immediate, and my skin looked MUCH smoother. While the studies say that the results "may last up to two years," I've found that the filler has begun to disolve one year after I had the injections. I'm scheduled to have more injections next week and I'll be happy to schedule Radiance every year in order to continue with my MUCH smoother skin!!

PS: Be sure to find a competent doctor with LOTS of experience with Radiance. Otherwise you may end up with the "clumping" effect which others have reported.

I had restylane to fix a couple scars and the results were horrible. Not only did I throw away $500, I am worried I will look like I have huge bumps on my face. I think my doctor put WAY too much in, I prefered the scar.

Hi
I have had repeated Restyline injections on my chin to fill in scars and was very pleased with the result. But I now find the area is discoloured and red,and has been for the last year. Also I had the corners of my mouth injected and it has left a slight shadow.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?

I used to have very bad acne which left horrible rolling and ice pick scars. I researched Restylane and was told it would be better for the rolling scars and not the ice pick ones. I had my first procedure yesterady and I am amazed by the results. I did have some puffiness and the procedure was a bit painful but worth every cent! If it does last as long as they say (6 months) I will for sure have the procedure done again. My skin is smoother and you can hardly see any scars!

I had perlane injections (similar to restyline) 2 weeks ago and I love love love the results. Doc also did some subcision. I have had scars forever and now with aging it looked worse (I'm 50). I am so happy with the results I highly recommend it. I just wish it lasted forever. Cost was $2100.

i had 1cc of artecol,loved it the Dr, did great i had to go to mexico tiawana at cos-med DR.Fuentes ,but i have had it for 8 mo. and it looks great but i am only 30,my mother on the other hand is 50 and has been a smoker ,had no lips left and alot of wrinkles around her lips could not even wear lip stick,BUT after 1 cc ,they plumped up has stayed and lipstick does not run, & no more lines !! $450 a cc,and we have our next app. to do more,the doc will onlydo 1 cc a vist make you wait a couple mo. the u can proceed ,so no over done lips !!!

my dr charges 450 for the restylane and saves my unsed restylane for as many visits as it last with out charging me exta i get 3-4 visits per 450 this is good becasue he doesnt have to overfill

I HAD SOME KIND OF FILLER THAT IS SUPPOSED BE BETTER THAN COLLAGEN, BUT NOT AS CLUMPY AS RESTYLANE AND RADIANCE. THE DR. TALKED TO ME INTO IT. IT WAS CALLED HYDRODERM OR SOMETHING. ONE WEEK AND $400 LATER MY SCARS LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME. I'M NOT SURE IF HE INJECTED IT TOO FAR OR WHAT! I HAD BRUISING FOR ABOUT A WEEK AND WAS HOPEFUL IT WOULD WORK. VERY DISAPPOINTING.
