TOPIC: Dr Zimmerman Aesthetic Revolution Las Vegas (Photos Inside)

long time lurker first time poster. i am at 9 mos in, june 20 was round one and july 20 was round two. the office team is great and very helpful, i spoke with kanani mostly but angelique and angie were super helpful also. i got 15cc Radiesse and 1cc versa the first time and 20cc Bellafill and 2cc versa the next month. my before pic is in my file at aesthetic revolution las vegas and i didnt take any round one pics. round two pics i do have and am posting. i have a six month pic as well for consideration.
i am going back this summer to have the Radiesse replaced with Bellafill and this time the 20cc will be done in two trips three months apart as i had a small lump develop near the glans on the underside. no big deal its just tweaking the procedure a bit.

Hello. Not sure if I've heard of Dr. Zimmerman much, but I'm sure we'll learn more.

A few things of note: you can't just have the Radiesse "replaced" with another filler, it first has to dissipate, or it's layered with the existing filler. I'm assuming you're seeing some loss of the temporary Dermal Filler, hence the move to 100% Bellafill?

Also, mind if I ask how much you're going to end up spending? With what appears to be 40cc in under a year, I'm guessing this was a sizeable investment. Were you given the opportunity to see the vials/boxes before work was done?

On paper Bellafill isn't an ideal iteration of PMMA in large volumes, but any sort of progress reporting is useful.

hello s.o.

first off, thank you for this site its been most helpful and why i am back now.

i chose dr. zimmerman because of his credentials and his team. i had spoken with a few drs via zoom (dr jane in ca and "the" dr c) on the way to that decision.

please excuse my word choice re the radiesse, i did mean when it dissipates. on that, i havent noticed any loss yet and would rather not see any. i was going to go just before any loss would start and my guess would be about a year. i am over 50 and my body doesnt do anything fast anymore, so, hopefully it wont chew thru the radiesse that fast, either

spending wise it was about 5k for the radiesse and a little more than twice that for the bellafill. i got about 3/4 both times and yes, if radiesse was permanent like bellafill i would choose that, agreed.

i did see the vials and the lot numbers are in my patient file along with my before pic. i will email kanani and get those sent to me. what info am i looking for? i would say for the record that i have had all positive experiences there to date and dont expect anything but going forward.

Okay, the fact that you spent twice as much on Bellafill makes sense -- it isn't often you get Bellafill reports because the cost is oftentimes prohibitive. I suspect at those prices, you are in-fact getting what you paid for. I always ask members who are seeing Doctors that aren't mentioned frequently to furnish what they inject -- this is due to the industry having a poor track record & history, and why I don't just bring on anyone as a Sponsor (as I'm sure you know). I'm sure Dr. Z is legit and I'd be curious to see how he stacks up.

Thanks for starting the progress report - per my guidelines you are granted lifetime premium membership

I'll be interested in following your progress; despite Bellafill's high costs, it would be interesting to see if it's indeed viable (in the long-term) regardless. Good news is that it is still technically medical-grade PMMA, so that's always good.

you are welcome and thank you for the membership!

i would say additionally i am in a ltr and my partner said she wouldnt be able to tell i had any "work done". she went with me both times.

i used a "thumper" massager twice a day and a pump twice a day also with just enough pressure to keep it on ten minutes all. i used tubi grip as well but that was because i read about it on here,

i have a prescription for a steroid and have an an acoustic soundwave shockwave...hold on..., its an extracorporeal shockwave therapy machine off amazon for my lump but havent done anything with them just yet. the lump isnt much and doesnt hurt or anything.
