Cheek Implants in Houston, TX

I can't thank you enough for repairing my neck! It looks great. I am so happy with my eyes & browlift. I have always been self conscious about the one eye. They both are normal now & as I mentioned before, I can't stop looking at them in the mirror. the chemical peel on my cheeks & crows feel looks amazing. It definitely softened the skin & even made my pores smaller. I wish I would have done this a long time ago. I am very happy with all the procedures you have done! Dr. Brissett, you & your girls (staff) are one in a million and I appreciate everything y'all do. With sincerest gratitude

Profound RF for lip lines, cheeks, marionette lines & jowls - I decided to profound rf because I'm not at all ready for a facelift at 48, but have vertical lip lines, some wrinkling on my cheeks, the start of some marionette lines, a less defined jawline than I would like, and the first hint of jowls (that sounds awful now that I've written it all out). Sorry, but I don't feel comfortable posting pics. I will do my best to describe everything, because I've benefited so much from others' reviews. I am very anxious when it comes to any kind of procedure, so did my research on this one. The plastic surgeon who does my botox and filler started offering Profound, and I tentatively got on board after office staff described it to me. I would not have done this in a medspa, or with a provider I didn't know and trust, because I've read in several places that user experience and training are important predictors of results. Day of: Someone drove me to the office and I signed consents. The nurse put numbing cream on my face and swabs of oral anesthetic inside my mouth for superficial numbing. Next came the shots of anesthesia. This was by far and away the very worst part. I could never, ever have done it had I not had a valium, and I ended up taking a second one before they started the actual procedure because I was so shaken. If you don't do well with the needles at the dentist or elsewhere, beware. I lost count of how many sticks there were, but every single one was painful. By the last third of the sticks, I was yelling out pain scale numbers unprompted, and they ranged from 6 on up to 10. I also cried. And swore. Next, they moved me to the treatment room, and laid me all the way back in a large chair. There was a bright, operating light overhead. The procedure itself was very tolerable. There was some discomfort, but nothing like the numbing injections. The Dr. held the machine head firmly over patches of skin, and it made a clicking noise, followed by four seconds of sound as the needles stayed in place, delivering the radio frequency. A few times, I could feel the very strange and uncomfortable sensation of something zapping and wiggling deep under my skin, but it otherwise was almost painless. Toward the end, I started to feel things more, and he numbed me up with more shots. When he finished, I looked like an extra from a zombie movie. The anesthesia turned my skin very white, and there were red and purple spots all over I was also very, very swollen right away. I was told this was the fluid in my face. Today is day 2. I slept with my head elevated and I've iced religiously. the swelling has gone down, but my phone still doesn't recognize me, so I'm still - well - that swollen. The swelling isn't uniform; rather, my face looks somewhat lumpy. I'm also red like I have a bad sunburn, and my skin feels hot. The bruising on my face appears to be minimal (fingers crossed it stays that way); my neck, however, is a different story. It looks like someone tried to strangle me. I shall keep icing, taking my arnica, and will give an update in a day or two!
