september27 Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 I'm Asian American 26F and really want a v line face & a more defined, slim nose with a better bridge. I also have had issues with TMJ and teeth grinding, and think botox injections may fix that. Has anyone else had these procedures done? I live in Atlanta, GA, and am looking for an affordable, good place to have it done. From what I've read online, it would be $1000+ to have both procedures done in the US. I called a place near me and they said they had a 15% deal for first time customers and approximated the cost of both procedures (if I got the top tier injections) to be like $1200 (but of course it varies from person to person) & it would last a year or 2. Is it worth it to travel to South Korea to have these types of procedures done, since it would be cheaper? What is the best way to get this done? Any advice is appreciated!
mlydzz Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 Honestly if you live in atlanta it might just be better to get it done inside the states if you're only interested in botox and fillers lol it's not worth going to korea for it, I had my first undereye filler in korea and I had lumps for almost 4 weeks compared to when i got it done in Philadelphia in which i was only swollen for like 2-3 days and I had no lumps at all, I also got my jaw botox from the dr in PA (first time i also had it done in korea and worked the same i figured it'd be good to get it there after my other surgeries so like why not) I was debating between san jose and philadelphia because they have good results from what i see on their instagram (i was skeptical too but wasn't disappointed eith choosing the one in PA just bc it was closer to me). Botox in the san jose place (At Chase Lay MD) is 11.25 per unit (i dont know about nose fillers though) and in PA (bucks county plastic surgery my injector was Kaitlyn Nelson) is 14 per unit and theres a hotel 2 mins away by walking distance. I got 15 units in my jaw but you can get between 15 to 25? I think, depending on how strong your masseter muscles are and if you want a stronger dose for more slimming If you have any questions you can go ahead and ask me because maybe i forgot to add additional info but i cant think of anyhing else at the moment
mellowmood Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 I got several botox injections before proceeding v-line and believe me, I regret only about one thing – that I didn’t got v-line done earlier. In my point of view, botox and fillers are just a waste on money, they might give you quite satisfactory result but what annoyed me a lot – their temporary effect and the need for re-proceeding. Hopefully dared for the surgery and it worth everything I spent on it. The surgeon I went to was dr.Oh-Myungjune from regen hospital. He is very experienced in facial contouring and I finally got permanent result!
peachyoghurt Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 I did my facial contouring at faceline and im very satisfied with how I look. i deff recommend to go to korea for this type of surgery!
mlydzz Posted October 9, 2018 Posted October 9, 2018 For me, I need the botox injections (i only get it done on my left cheek) because of an asymmetry, and I do not regret it. I like the results but like you said and you're right, it is very annoying and a nuisance to get it re-done every couple months because the effect is short but I don't know any other ways to reduce my cheek's size so my face can be even...sad, really.
