    Default Restylane injections...info please

    I know there have been several threads on this subject. However, I have a specific question and didn't want to resurrect an old thread and get the SW beat down Or threadjack the current.

    I'm making an appt for this Saturday (provided they can get me in) at Nu U of Chicago med spa.

    I'm looking to do just a wee amount in my lips, as they are naturally full anyways I just want a lil' life brought back to them, my laugh lines which are kinda barely there just driving me insane. As well as under my eyes (if they do this there)

    I have a huge event on Sunday. And I want to look PERFECT. I'm curious to know how long it takes to look human (how much down time) and also what the medium cost is. I just filled out their online form so I have no real idea. I'm guessing 1200?

    Any info is appreciated.

    Thank you

    At first there may be some tiny dots of blood at the injections. Things will look good by that night. The next morning there may occasionally be a bruise or two at some injection sites. IMO The procedure would looks the best 3-4 days out, after any bruises are gone and the fillers blend in a bit more. But usually things look good and you are presentable within an hour of treatment.

    ^ thank you! I figured minor bruising. The day of isn't a big deal, although I might go into work that night. It will be a Saturday night and packed. Dark lights and heavy makeup! Weee!

    We are leaving on a trip Monday morning. I just want to be picture perfect.

    Do you know about how much typically it runs?

    My best friend is a tranny, and the whole time i've known her, i just thought she had beautiful, feminine features, but Sat. nite she tells me she had restylne in her cheeks, lips, chin, and forehead. It looks so gorgeous and natural, and she said she went to a pageant THE NEXT DAY and that it didn't hurt at all when she got it done. I'm interested in it myself. Let us know how it goes! And best of luck on Sunday! I know you will be stunning & gorgeous!! (with or without the restylne!)

    ^I hope they basically take a walk in. I filled out the online form for an appt.

    I'm hoping it's within a price range

    Thank you ladies for such great basic info that I so badly needed.

    My friend gets Restylane for $450 per cc. I got it for $650 for a cc. I think her's was cheaper because she got a discount for getting more cc's - I think she got 3 or 4.

    Just out of curiousity, what are you hoping to achieve with the under eye treatment? Is it wrinkle decrease or to get rid of dark circles?

    ^ I look a lil' hollowed out. Just to fatten it up.

    A friend locally says her dr offers at 250 a CC of Restalyne. I don't want to pay over 1200 when it's all said and done. I seriously barely have any lil' fillers to do. The under eye would be awesome, however I know I can get a surgery that's perm. that is 2,500. So it almost makes sense to do the filler and eventually get the surgery when I go in to switch from Saline to Silicone in August. (one shot deal)

    Plus I want to get my hair did on Sunday lol. And that's 200. I just really want the laugh lines gone and maybe a lil on my lips. Just a fresh look. Not pulled tight.

    I called the spa place today and I'm going in at 2:30pm on Saturday. I asked the prices and she said it depends on the individual (dur) and that they are considered the lowest on the market on pricing. I'm going to say they are between 250-350.

    Hell I hope it's only 600 dollars! If that's the case (and I bring a grand) I'll be coming out ahead. Back into savings that other 600 goes.

    I'm going to be cutting it super close going in at 2:30 because I need to be at work by 5pm.

    Aargh.
