This isn't my first time to get fillers! My first time was when I was still in High School and I got them done to help reduce my Harry Potter-ish scar on my forehead. It lasted for probably 6 months and after that I didn't really go for another session since... I was a student (aka broke AF).

実はヒアルロン酸注射は今回が初めてじゃないんですよぉ~！高校の時ハリーポッター風のキズが目立ってたからやってみたものの…半年で効果が無くなってビンボーな学生だったので２回目のチャンスがこなかった。(ﾉД`)ｼｸｼｸ

For those who are new to fillers, it's pretty much a hyaluronic acid injection. As we get older, our skin loses the natural sugars (hyaluronic acid) and proteins that results in loss in moisture and facial volume. However, hyaluronic acid in it's natural form is a liquid and only lasts for 1-2 days!! 

  Juvederm XC is the FIRST and ONLY non-surgical hyaluronic acid (HA) filler FDA-approved to instantly achieve smoother skin with natural and long-lasting results!

It's recommended for those who have visible laugh lines, sagging cheekbones, thin lips, tired/fatigue look, and dark eye circles. 

年齢を重ねるとお肌のハリが無くなり始めてシワとたるみの原因になります。ヒアルロン酸は自然体ではたった1-2日しか持たない悲しい現実…(;´Д`)

しかぁぁぁーし！ジュビダームヒアルロン酸注射は世界初で唯一FDA認可された非外科的なヒアルロン酸注射です。ジュビダームヒアルロン酸注射は自然な仕上がりと長続きの効果が特徴です！

ヒアルロン酸注射の使用目的は中第度から重度のシワなどの修理です。

I've already went through my first appointment with Dr. Yim on my previous post, but I'll just summarize what happened on the day! 

初めてのコンサルテーションはもう以前のボトックス体験の時にもう話しちゃったからパッとまとめちゃいます☆

I got to talk to Dr. Yim and he explained to me the entire procedure in detail - including the side effects and things I can/can't do after the procedure. Dr. Yim took a look at my entire face and said that he'll recommend getting fillers on my forehead for a rounder, fuller look. 

If you're wondering what's underneath my bangs, here it is! 

前髪で隠しているおでこは…

As you can see, my forehead is SUPER FLAT!!

This is probably why ALL my hairstyles never bared my entire forehead. 

見ての通り、おでこペッタンコです_( :⁍ 」 )_

だから今まであんまりおでこを出さないようにしていました|･ω･`)ｺｯｼｮﾘ

5~6years ago, 2 years ago, and just a few months ago! 

*sighs* I miss my red hair...(´・ω・`)

ボトックスの時と同じで針は大の苦手です( ˊᵕˋ ;)

でもアシスタントさんの肩マッサージのおかげで針が打たれてる感じがしなかった。凄ッΣ(ﾟ艸ﾟ*)

ヒアルロン酸を打った時、先生が馴染ませる様に少し押さえてる感じがしました。

The whole procedure was super quick, fuss-free with no downtime whatsoever!

I was able to go back to my usual lifestyle without worrying about anything.  

IF you're worried about side effects (which didn't happen for me), the potential side effects from fillers are redness, swelling, itching, and pain... 

which are all the possible side effects for any injectable procedures and facial treatments.

AFTER THE PROCEDURE 

[1 Week Later　一週間後] 

Ever since the procedure, I've been showing my forehead to the world more often!

ヒアルロン酸注射を打った後、前よりおでこを出すようになりました（笑）

My eyebrow game is still weak but I'm slowly working on it LOL

眉毛がちょっと微妙だけどまぁいいかw

So here's a few close-up photos!

ズームアップ写真も…ありまぁーす！

My cheeks are fuller and seem slightly higher! 

ほっぺもハリが出ていい感じ！ 

Here's my a close up of my FOREHEAD!!　

LOOK AT HOW SMOOTH IT IS!!! You can kinda see my Harry Potter scar but it's much smoother than before and not a single wrinkle! 

おでこにズームイン！

めっちゃスムーズでしょ？w  ハリーポッター風のキズがすこ~ししか見えないしシワも無くなって自分のおでこだと思えない（笑）

After the botox and fillers procedure, I realized that there really isn't a need to go under the knife!

You can achieve natural-looking results with the help of a good, reliable doctor and injectables. 

It's true that you will LOOK beautiful but the most important thing is that you FEEL beautiful. 

Yes it sounds cliche but it's true! You will never be happy with the way you look until you feel that you are beautiful! The moment you feel beautiful, your self-confidence will grow and it'll result in making you beautiful inside and out!! 

信頼できるお医者さんとボトックスとヒアルロン酸注射の力で自然にお顔のアップグレード(笑)する事が出来て整形しなくてもいいって気づきました。

整形して見た目がキレイになってもやっぱり一番大事なのは自分がキレイだと思う気持ちだなぁ～って。自分がキレイだと思わなかったら整形中毒になって絶対幸せになれないと私は思いました。自分がキレイだって思った瞬間自信が出て中身と外側がもっとキレイになるはず！

A huge thank you to Dr. Benjamin Yim and the very kind & friendly staff!

I'm super happy with the results and enjoy sharing with everyone about my entire process! 

ベンジャミンイム先生とスタッフの方に感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです!
