I also went to Dr.
Rupeka for my first round a week and a half ago now. It seems my swelling is all but gone at this point, no more bruising, and the filler hardly moved at all even from day one. Really great experience. As OP said, he is very laid back, and the procedure was super easy. I started with 45syr. I’m 8.2”
BPEL and started at 4.9” EG, and so far a week and a half in, I’m sitting at 5.75” EG with really great symmetry/evenness. I’m very close to my goal already, and will go back in January for my final touch up. I’d recommend him to anyone.
