Tell me about your experience of face fillers

[TheColourofspring]

I am 50 and my face is falling off basically 🫣😂 So I have been considering fillers to hold things up a bit! But am obviously wary & don’t want to look weird but some seem properly done and can make you look refreshed!

Aibu to ask for your experiences? Good idea or not?!

Same here, face is slipping away from itself

So bamboozled with what options there are and how to choose.

I keep thinking if it goes wrong theres no disguising it

I quite like the idea of an 8 point non surgical facelift but a real scaredy cat about it at the moment

The most important thing is finding a reputable, registered, recommended practitioner

I have seen mine for years for Botox and filler

The last two times I've been and wanted a 0.5 ml in my lip line and she refuses

That's the kind of practitioner you need, someone who cares about how you look, how it affects their reputation and doesn't do procedures that you really don't need

I'm mid 50s and had fillers. Really freshened my face up!! I get them done in a training clinic in London for 1/3rd of the price under trained doctors. I've had cheeks, lips and marionette lines but not all at the same time.

Never looked back and get them topped up when needed.

Anywhere decent will never do what isn't suitable or looks overdone.

There are some amazing practitioners out there. I use a lady who is a facial specialist - originally a dentist. She basically rebuilds faces with filler - I’ve seen 9ml in a face and it just looks refreshed. She is based in Buckinghamshire- feel free to pm me for her details. For what it’s worth, I have minimal done but know if and when I’d trust her with my face 100%

Go to a doctor, not a beautician, and you'll be laughing. I have Botox and tear trough fillers and whilst I pay a lot, they look v natural.

Go to www.thetweakmentguide.co.uk and read up. The author is a beauty journalist who researches every kind of facial treatment inc fillers on the market and has great recommendations for practitioners. DO NOT go to anyone other than a doctor, anyone can legally inject filler on a days training! This is definitely one occasion where it's worth spending more. As long as you have a good practitioner, they can look amazing!
But filler may not be the thing, try looking at radio frequency/lasers.

A nurse practitioner can also legally purchase and inject Botox and filler.
I would rather a qualified aesthetic nurse than some doctor with basic knowledge of facial aesthetics

@Alltheshoes74 would you be happy to send me your doctor's details please? I live near Bucks. Thank you!

@Alltheshoes74 can I have your doctor’s details too please?

@Alltheshoes74 me too please. I'm in bucks and having lost weight I look like my face is melting off my skull!

Me too please
