"just a little bit of filler..."

I had an appointment today for botox, which I've had a few times before. The chap told me though that what he could see (and I what I acknowledge) is that I am a bit lopsided and one side is overall lower. Botox can address the eye stuff but he said that a little filler in the cheek would lift that side of my face to match the other one. He also said botox in the jawline would help to rebalance things.

I understand the logic but I am franky quite scared of filler. He assured me I'd still look like "me", but he would say that wouldn't he! Has anyone had just a little bit of filler like this? I do not want to fall down a rabbit hole with injectables, I just want to look less haggard and not quite so asymmetrical.

Everyone's face is a bit asymmetrical. It's natural.

That's what I meant. He saw it and so though the worms feel off to me they are in the right place.

Just got to say I'm last person I ever thought would have filler but I had small amount of cheek filler and though I can barely tell it's there myself, I know it is because the part of my cheek where I put my blusher had mysteriously disappeared and now it's back lol. It's so subtle but I love it. So that gave me the courage to have jowl filler to reduce the look of them and I have to say that's been amazing. I doubt anyone but me would notice it but I'm very pleased with it. No bruising with the cheeks but did with the jaw. If you can find someone who comes recommended, I'd say it's worth considering. But only if it's getting you down. Otherwise no point. I'd got to point all I could focus on when I was sat having my hair cut would be my jowls so that's why I did it. It was my choice to have the two things done separately but it was the practitioner who told me the order in which it needed to be done so that my face was balanced between treatments.

I’ve had a few tweakments.

Lips a few times (haven’t touched them for 3 years though as it seems to have stayed put!) and just look like I have normal-sized lips now rather than the pair of skinny strawberry laces I was born with Grin

Chin - I liked it, but it disappeared fairly quickly. Don’t think I’d bother with it again as it was bruised for weeks and the result wasn’t worth it!

Under eyes - I absolutely loved how fresh my face looked for a good 18 months afterwards, and will be getting it done again.

I had a few PDO threads put in to lift up my one flat eyebrow and they did bugger all! A little bit of filler can go a long way in rebalancing your face, as long as you choose your practitioner very carefully (ideally one who agrees that less is more!)

So risky under the eyes!
