Well today was a double whammy. I not only had my legs worked on by Dr. Greenwald but got quite a few injections of botox from Anita.
The morning began with getting Lidocane smeared all over my face and waiting a short time for it to take effect. Anita came in and explained to me that we would be starting botox injections to pick up some areas on my face making my face softer and ridding it of the deep "frown" lines and such.
I actually get a kick out of watching her look at me. She reminds me of an artist looking at her canvas...or a photographer looking through her lens. Her head turns from side to side as she watches my facial expressions so as she knows where to place the botox. This is not something that is taken lightly by any means and let me tell you when she was completed it was PHENOMENAL. I asked to see my before pictures....when she showed me I cried. All I can say is...I regained 20 years.
Check out the pictures of my face below. Please note that it is red and a bit swollen but much smoother and the deep creases beside my mouth are gone as are the furrows between my eyes.
Next was work to the veins in my legs. Dr. Greenwald, like Anita, examined my legs over and over deciding what her next move would be. A few shots of numbing meds and then to work on the veins. Within 1/2 hour I was back into support hose and heading for home.
Sunday I was able to remove the stockings and all I can say is WOW. My veins are disappearing! Those ugly purple/blue lines that have haunted me for years are half of what they use to be. I can't believe it!
