@MissQ I hate the massaging part!!! I always feel like they're damaging my face! GAH!!! I love my new jaw!! It matches the other side so much better...I'll never be symmetrical, but the difference is amazing.
Thanks for weighing in!! I'm keeping a calendar to estimate how long things are lasting... I haven't noticed a significant difference in product staying power yet. And now I can certainly afford to tweak more often, regardless. Have a lovely night, beauty.
@SaraGoodman I know HA needs and attracts water. I’m thinking it might have something to do with it. But my injector always massaged my lips afterwards. It hurt so much. He also left my lips super swollen and covered in bruises. Whereas I rarely give myself a bruise and my swelling is so minimal. I use the same brand of filler my injector did so it’s hard for me to compare. But mine gets hard for the first few days when I do it and I don’t recall them being so hard when he did them but I was also super swollen when he did it.
I don’t massage my lips.
I have used cheaper less known brands of fillers and my only real bug bare about them is they don’t last as long
@MissQ Question, Girlie:: Do you find much difference in your fillers from your injector than the ones from our vetted vendors? I understand the various G-prime levels, but the Revolax Sub-Q (24mg/ml) is supposed to be on the substantial side... After settling down for a week, the boluses seemed to soften a little. I was wondering if the initial firmness was a natural inflammatory response which then settles to something less rigid. Honestly I can't remember from cheeks my injector** has done (a branded product available in US, Juvederm?), mine with Tesoro previously, or this Revolax.
Any thoughts, MissQ? Tribe?
**Oh - and since I would never let any of my friends/family talk me into doing this for them, I give out my "Cosmetic Concierge"'s number** frequently... ;)
@SaraGoodman That’s great🥳🥳. I love that I do my own fillers too. I felt bad leaving my injector as he was really nice but his prices were insane and I never even realized until I started purchasing my own stuff. I’m glad you had positive experiences. But when you are as prepared as you sound it does make everything so much more smooth running ❤️❤️
