![]() Postinjection, your life can resume-despite some fear-mongering articles you might find online. ![]() And there’s not really much you can do to prolong the filler, since everybody metabolizes differently. This means that if you love your initial results, take plenty of pics because it does fade. It depends on the formula you choose, but according to Green, most last six months to a year. Considering each clocks in at $400 to $1,000, depending on location and practice-well, start saving now. When I asked Green how much filler the girls I see on social media get, she said, without hesitation, two to three syringes’ worth, if not more. The single syringeful of Juvederm we used (1 cc) is technically less than a teaspoon of material, but it was distributed in a way that made my results more visible than they were the first time around-but not wildly dramatic. We’re all inundated with images of women with really, really big lips, but I had no idea the money it takes to actually achieve that look. For older clients, “I always do Volbella, which is good to fill in lines around the face,” she said. For example, Green says a youthful, pillowy, voluminous look is best achieved with Juvederm, while she uses Restylane for an “I got my lips a little fuller but no one really will know” vibe, thanks to its smaller particles. Not because I’m opposed (I come from a family of proud plastic-surgery and Botox advocates), but because it never occurred to me that I didn’t have to wait until I was 60 and then get the full lift-that I could make small tweaks along the way.Ĭhoosing a type is best left up to the doctor based on your needs, but the smorgasbord is vast. Until a few years ago, my commitment to vanity was purely surface- keratin treatments, at-home dermaplaning, hot tools, serums, supplements, Swiss Kriss laxative facials-I’d never gone to a plastic surgeon, experimented with dermal fillers, or spent any legit money on one single alteration. When it comes to myself, though, well enough is rarely left alone. ![]() Much like a therapist unable to take her own advice, I see others-large noses, small noses, fine hair, coarse hair, curvy bodies, lanky bodies-and fixate on, and often envy, their striking brand of beauty. ![]() Rather, I’m in a constant state of self-change. One might say I have an obsession with myself, though not in a way that allows me to move through the world feeling especially at ease with what nature has bestowed upon me. ![]()
