How I Changed My Face (lip injections & botox after 5 years...)

Your jaw may feel a little strange at first and usually the nurse or doctor will tell you this, but you're not supposed to lie down until a few hours after you've done it because it could transfer to other people. areas of your

face

and paralyze them, but yes, it starts working instantly and then you will start seeing results after two weeks. "Does jaw filler visibly become less effective because your body gets used to it?" No, actually, many of my friends have said that every time they get

botox

in their jaw, they feel like it lasts longer.

So I think if anything, it becomes more effective. I feel like it always has the same life span. My

face

and I, over the

years

, have continued to shrink each time, so... "Do you feel stiff or restricted after getting

botox

?" No; The only thing is that I don't think you can. For the first week or so, you can't like it, it bites so hard. For example, if you chew food that is too hard or if you want, you are doing the chewing motion. a lot, like chewing gum, you may feel pain in your jaw, but other than that, it's okay: "Do you ever need to take breaks from botox in your jaw?" Yes, you should take breaks with jaw botox;

You shouldn't do it too often. I clearly remember a time when I was telling my nurse that I wanted to do it again and she told me, "No, take a break," and that's when I knew I really trusted her. She told me to take a break because, otherwise it wouldn't look natural: my face would look too thin. She realized that she was not completely gone yet and, if she went in any more, my face would look too hollow and she was afraid that she would weaken the muscle too much and paralyze it. That means chewing even bread would be difficult for me.

So, yes, you should take breaks from Botox on your jaw. Don't apply it too often. "Do you need several sessions for jaw botox?" Generally not, but if you're not sure how much cc you should get, I would recommend getting some and then maybe coming in for another session. "How do you know when it's time for another touch-up?" I can usually tell because I feel my face starting to look wider again. And another way I can tell is by clenching my jaw and then if it comes out more than usual, then that means it's time for another touch-up.

Are you currently injecting into the jaw?" Doctors usually recommend that you put 10 cc on each side to see the result. So before, I actually put 10 to 12 cc on each side and I realized that I liked the results better around six months. And that was... It's not too big a problem for me; It looked thinner, but it was thinner than I would have liked it to look. I wanted it to be a little fuller, but I knew it would end up giving me the results I wanted just a few months later, so I didn't think it would be too much of a problem.

But then I mentioned it to my nurse and she said, "Oh, maybe we can. You should put less in then so that the results you get after two weeks are exactly what you want instead of having to wait a few months." So it didn't hurt to try; She told me, "You know, if you don't see any results, then you can come back and we'll add more." So we put 8cc on each side and I really liked the results! "Why did you choose jaw botox instead of jaw surgery?" I have always looked for non-invasive procedures because I am afraid that I will not like the result if I have surgery.

But that is not totally ruled out; I have considered having jaw surgery before. If I start to get tired of getting Botox in my jaw, maybe I'll just do it. And then some people asked questions about both procedures, so now I'll address the topic "Is there any risk to people with sensitive skin?" So, I have sensitive skin. I have never seen any side effects from needles, but if you are concerned I would talk to your nurse about it. And then, I got some questions about pain levels. So, my pain. Tolerance is like...medium, I think, and for me, the jaw Botox was like a two to three on a scale of one to ten.

And then for the lip filler, that one was a little more painful when I first got it done. I remember telling the nurse that on a scale of one to ten, she would rate it as a pain level of seven. Now that I've been feeling it more, I've gotten more used to it, so I think it would be more like a five or six? But dissolving lip filler is extremely painful. I would rate it as, maybe an eight. What they do is inject the solvent like they would with a lip filler. They just put it on your lips and then it ends up dissolving, but like I don't know, there's something about this that's way more painful than lip fillers: "Prices?" As for the price, it depends on the location and how many cc's you get, i.e. how many units you get, so I think it varies from practice to practice, person to person.

Wherever you go, you can always get a consultation and a quote. "Where do you do both?" In fact, @nurse_susana does both for me. I've talked about her quite a bit on my Instagram. I highly recommend it; since going to her I literally can't think about switching to another nurse. It's like what I said about doing your research and finding people who can get you the results you want. Of all the jaw botox places I have been, she is simply the best. She is the only one who has never ruined my smile and I feel like that is the easiest thing to ruin with jaw botox.

So every time one of my friends comes to me and asks me about jaw botox, I'm like, "You have to go with Susana" because once they've ruined you, you'll never want them to do it again. No one wants to do it in the first place, but having to live with a failed smile for something like, a year later you don't want to go through that. Finding a nurse you like is very difficult - you can't just go around letting different nurses touch your face and potentially annoy you! "What should beginners know and anything they wish they knew before?" I think I've told you everything I wish I knew before in this video, but one thing I wish I had personally done before going through all those botched procedures is check Instagram Like, you can check Yelp or Google reviews, but Instagram is like the photo, well, it's supposed to be the photo sharing app.

I was able to go through my nurse's Instagram and see her, essentially her online portfolio, and see all the before and after photos that I don't trust, like, a five star review with no photos I need to see photos So yeah, that's my Best recommendation for vetting a nurse is to look through their Instagram, try to find the procedure you want, see their before and after if they don't have any pictures, I personally wouldn't go to them because you can't really see the result and it probably also means that they don't do that procedure often, so maybe they don't have as much experience with it.

And that concludes this. Video on everything you need to know about jaw botox and lip fillers before you get them! I hope this video has been useful.
