I am so grateful that I found Jen Powell. Please read my post if you have ever experienced bad or less than amazing fillers!
Here is my story: I started getting dermal fillers at age 22. Like many, I started with lip filler, and as time went on, I started getting cheek and under eye filler as well to correct facial asymmetries and under eye bags.
At first I always thought the fillers looked good, but after several years (I am now 36), I realized that my appearance looked fake. Friends and family have told me that my top lip sticks out far beyond my bottom lip, that I appear 'ducky' and that my cheeks look too big. After no longer liking how I looked in photos, I recognized that they were right. The fillers that once looked good, had changed. My face appeared round, lacked definition and contour, and my lips looked very ducky! It was time for a change.
I had a consultation with Jen where she analyzed my face and felt where I had dermal filler. She explained to me that fillers can last for many years, fillers can migrate to areas where they shouldn't be, and certain products are better than others in achieving a natural and youthful appearance. Jen reassured me that everything was fixable, but that I would need to be a bit patient.
At our next appointment, Jen dissolved all of my poorly done and misplaced filler. After a few days, the filler dissolved, and I felt more like myself again. Jen will continue to dissolve any remaining filler at my next appointment. Once all the old filler is gone, I will be treated with Sculptra and Restylane Kysse.
I appreciate that Jen took the time to advise me on the proper treatment options and products, rather than just injecting around old bad filler like my previous injectors did. It may not be the most cost-effective solution, but it is the CORRECT solution. The take-away here is: if you plan to get aesthetic treatments done DO YOUR RESEARCH. Do not go to the cheapest or closest injector. Experience matters. If you want to look and feel your best, please learn from my mistakes. Be patient, and go to the best. read more
