Addicted to Facial Fillers

I always heard that once you get Botoxed and facial fillers you will be addicted.  In my case this is 100% true.  My first experience was Botox on my entire forehead and furrow lines as well as some Juvederm injections in my lips.  I was extremely happy with both procedures and have been back multiple times.  The botox doesn't hurt nearly as bad as some of the weak asses on tv make it look.  It just feels like little pinches and is over quickly.  The lip injection pain truly depends on the level of experience the RN or plastic surgeon has.  I see a RN who does an amazing job.  She also uses expensive numbing cream so when I get my lip injections I can barely feel it, again small pinches but definitely hurts a lot more than Botox.  I get charged $200 for Botox on my entire forehead but I also do not have deep wrinkles, I'm only 31.  It's better to start Botox early (no earlier then 25 or 26) because over time as you age you won't look so frozen faced as you keep doing it.  My botox lasts about 6 months or longer. Juvederm injections in my lips were $475 and last about 4-6 months.

My latest experience was one of my favorites but the most expensive.  I wanted some type of filler under my eyes just so it looked brighter and would possibly remove bags for good.  My lady told me that injecting Botox directly under my eyes was not the way to go.  She said if you ever have one of those "late nights" stress or anything the botox under your eyes can make your under-eyes look purple or worse.  Instead what the alternative that everyone does is by having Juvederm injected directly into your cheeks.  I had this done which cost me $1200 but lasts a year.  My cheeks appeared more prominent like I had higher cheekbones instantly.  It makes my undereyes appear brighter without having a tight look to them.  I highly recommend this procedure, it's worth the $1200.
