Wrinkles gone

[Twisterdog]

I think your "before" pictures are lovely. I don't see anything at all wrong with your face, you are very pretty.

But if it makes you feel better about yourself, then that's all that counts!

If I had the money, I think I would like to get a little something done if it would make me feel so much better. I recently lost tons of weight and have some skin I would love to have *tucked* I am glad to hear that you had such quick and good results. Having things done right there where you work and from people you trust must have been a very good experience too!

It will be fun to see your before and after pictures because I don't see any wrinkles in the picture you posted here

Yes, I can tell the difference and you're right, it's removed a lot of years from your face but you looked pretty good to start with, Monica. Your lines weren't that deep. I'd love to have something done but I am afraid of injections b/c a foreign substance is being injected into the body and I worry about future effects or even instant allergies. I think I'd rather have a nip and a tuck. As I mentioned, a friend of mine had a procedure done b/c she wanted the wattle removed. It really did change her appearance except now, several years later, she's sagging on one side a little bit. I don't have a wattle, fortunately, but I do have lots of laugh lines and the beginning of what I call the Howdy Doody chin.

I look at cosmetic surgery as an extension of makeup and as long as you choose a qualified, board certified surgeon and it's in the budget, why not? There are people who get carried away w/it and have entirely too much done and there are also people who don't need it, such as teenagers or very young adults but for the most part I think women just want a fresh look again and not something drastic that totally changes their appearance. Good for you, girl. You look good and I'm happy that you're happy.

I´m too chicken to do something on myself.. but if needed.. I think I´d do it.. and seeing the results you got.. wow.. you looked pretty nice before but the after really looks different.. very nice and if you feel good..great

I too would like to get rid of my excess baggage.. lol.. as well as some lifts here and there.. but on my face there´s this smile wrinkle I hate.. lol.. I don´t mind expression wrinkles but this one just irks me.. haha.. might as well consider that in the future..

Thank you everyone. I was really bothered by those lines on my face and I am glad I went ahead and had the Dr take care of them. I think my mouth area looks 10 years younger.
There are many websites that explain Radiesse and other facial fillers.
I am lucky that I work for a Dr who does this. It is not painful, just little pricks, less pain then a dentist needle for sure.
What I had done is about $900.00. Not cheap but it lasts for more then a year.
Botox I have not had but it is very very popular. If you look really look at women in there 30's, 40's and 50's you will soon be able to tell which ones had some work done. They just look a bit fresher, maybe a bit younger.
I do believe that we will be the last generation to age. People in their 20's will stay younger looking for a long time.
Just with the advancment of dental work, things such as teeth
whitening can take years off of a face.
It's a new world.
