“injectable fillers are the second most popular cosmetic treatment in the United States after Botox injections. And they're very powerful ways to add volume to the cheeks, to plump up the lips, and to fill in lines. We treat patients with filler at my office every day, but they don't end up looking like juju dopicks.”

“I don't like how close under the skin this is. Immediately it looks like there's going to be nodules. Hopefully, this is a very, very thin filler and it will intercolate into the tissue. Otherwise, this is going to be lumpy and bumpy under the skin. I don't love doing under eye filler with this technique.”

“I think you got to be careful because they're marketing it to younger people as a hydrating uh injection I think if you overdo it you're going to look off and puffy over time it's still a filler so don't be fooled um but I think if you are very crepy and you have crepy skin proo can be of value but everything is how do you time it how much are you injecting”
