New face, same old me.

Friday, I went into the city to the dermatologists office. I was offered something called Radiesse, it's a filler similar to Juvederm to fill out the wonky parts of your face. I got there and when I was finally called to start (two hours later, but since I wasn't paying for it, I could hardly complain) The representative from the company and the doctor examined my face and discussed me like I was an insect under a microscope. They decided I needed a lot more than originally thought. I thought about being offended by this, but since they mostly ignored me, I decided to stay quiet. The whole procedure took about half an hour and there were many sore and or numb parts of my face. I lost count with how many needles were inserted. They offered to show me the needles going in, but I declined, figuring I'd lose my nerve.

When they were finished with one side of my face they showed it to me. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn't that. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't disfigured or anything, it just wasn't as drastic as I had hoped. I kept looking at myself hoping it was all going to come together at once. So, I figured I'd wait till they did the other side. They did and it was as much the same as the first side which, I guess is a good thing seeing as how I didn't want to end up looking like "false face" from Batman. I spent a lot of time after that staring at myself wondering when my new life was going to start. I left and decided to go shopping, I was feeling good!! I was determined to make the best of this. You figure they pump almost 5 grand worth of product into your face, there'd better be a big pay off.

So, on to Century 21 where I decided to buy new jeans. They didn't have anything I really liked but I kept waiting for someone to be taken aback by my new-found lovliness, it didn't happen.

So, I came home figuring at least my husband would notice. No such luck although he did take me out for dinner so I guess I can't really complain.

So, I realized that your face, like everything else in life is what you make of it. Now all I have to do is get the rest of me to match my face. Then lipo, here I come!!!!
