Hmm. So I got there and he said he would never inject into the tear trough area as it is too delicate an area. He says he doesn’t believe in putting any filler in that area, which was a bit disappointing to be honest!
He said I am noticing my hollows more as I age (I’m only 30 so hardly over the Hill, but still) as my face is starting to lose volume/ sag due to aging. He said he wanted to instead, add filler to my cheeks/ cheekbones/ temple areas to ‘lift’my face and therefore make my hollows less prominent. That’s fine, except it needed two syringes to do a decent job, making the price increase from £450 to £900! I just don’t have a spare £900 at the moment so I said as much as I’d love to go ahead with that (he showed me a couple of examples and it looked really good so I really wanted to say yes) I could only afford the one syringe at the moment (as that’s all I’d booked in for 
) he said with 1ml syringe, the results wouldn’t really be that noticible, so it’s fine, he could do it but don’t expect dramatic results unless I wanted to go back in a couple of months and get the second syringe.
I opted just to go for the 1 syringe as I’d been waiting a month for the appointment and thought at least it would be better than nothing.
So the nurse put the numbing cream on, I waited then went back up to have the fillers. He marked about 6 tiny dots in different places around my cheek/ just under my tear trough area on my face (3 places on each side) and then proceeded. He used a canula (as asked for by me) I have to say, he was very good.
Pain wise, it really wasn’t that bad. It was uncomfortable sure, but not unbearable!
It took about 15 mins all in. With about 6/7 injections in total. So, after he’d done one side of my face, he gave me a mirror and told me to have a look. He said if he waited until he’d done both sides of my faces to show me in the mirror, I would say ‘Well there’s no diffeence’ So, actually, when he showed me in the mirror, it really did look better, even with just the little bit he’d put in. Somehow bringing some of the volume back to my cheekbones etc HAD made the tear trough area under that eye appear better than before, compared to the side he hadn’t yet done! So then he did the other side.
There was some swelling/ bruising. I am quite swollen and bruised today, nothing major and you wouldn’t really notice unless I told you, easily covered with make up etc.
I have a horrible cough at the moment and last night that literally kept me awake all bloody night. So this morning I really did look like shit, puffy eyes etc and swollen/ bruised top half of my face so it’s hard to really see how well things look/ what it’s done. I’m going to go have a couple of hours nap in a bit, I’ve been icing my face and the swelling is a lot better this afternoon, it’ll be pretty much all gone by this time tomorrow so I will all have a better idea tomorrow of what it’s done.
Feeling really regretful today that I didn’t just chuck the extra £450 on the CC and just have done the whole lot in one go though tbh. I know I would have looked a lot better today and have been really really pleased with the results had I done that.
So now I’m wondering how the hell im going to manage to save £450 til Jan with xmas etc coming up 
but I do need to do it as there is a good if v subtle difference after 1ml, the extra 1ml would actually make me look a lot fresher, which is what I originally wanted.
Hope that essay is helpful
