Ok, so I wanted to get filler in my tear troughs which were making me look really old and tired. I was too embarrassed to tell anyone so found someone quite locally, thinking I could keep it all secret.
The dr said it was a course of three procedures, a month apart, as it was some special filler that had fewer risks. After procedure one, the filler migrated down my face on one side and the dr had to massage it away, but I do think I looked better after.
But I got horrible black bruising after procedure two, plus the filler migrated again. Dr says it's due to loose skin, not his technique or the filler, and that what I really need is a different treatment - mesotherapy - more £££.
Frankly, I've had enough. I'm £300 down, have had two weeks of lying about a bruised eye and wonky swelling, and now pretty much look how I did to start with. I've now done more research on the type of filler and it seems it's for improving the skin and really fine lines, plus needs topping up a few times a year, rather than being a proper filler. And I don't think the dr knows what he's talking about (is a PhD type rather than medical doctor).
I've been a complete idiot for not going to someone with good reviews/recommendation/medical qualifications etc, haven't I? Or has anyone heard of non-cross linked fillers and migration due to loose skin?>
