TOPIC: 10 syringes Round 1 with Rupeka

I had 10 syringes of Bellafill along with the Botox injection at Rupeka’s office in Warren Ohio.

Operation date: 8/15
Pre op EL: 6.5in
pre op EG: 4.5in
post op: EL: 6.5in
Post op EG (day of) : 5in

I previous had HA filler that has not fully dissolved so my shape is horrible right now. It has been 4 weeks since operation and I haven’t seen much change. I was .5 inches bigger from the swelling.

I am going back for round 2 on October 24 for an additional 10-20 syringes, depends on how much I can save up by then.

Any photos?? Also if you dot mind sharing what was cost?? If you don’t want share here please message me

These are all Flaccid. As you can see the HA filler makes the shape not uniform. I am getting that dissolved on round 2.

The cost was $6800. I was under the old pricing of Rupeka but prices have recently increased. The Botox was $1300 of that $6800.

What did you think of the HA while you had it and what kind did you get? Thx

I received the HA about a year prior to the PMMA. It was juvaderm. I highly doubt not recommend HA fillers. The feel is very squishy when Erect and when dissolving it doesn’t not dissolve evenly.

How are things going?

Things are going well, around the 9 week mark I started to see some Girth increase. At week 10 I went back to Rupeka for another 12 syringes. I also received a shot to start to dissolve the HA. I will let you know how things progress.

As someone who dissolved LOTS of HA I can tell you you need a syringe of hyaluronidase for every syringe of HA you had. Juvederm is highly cross linked and difficult to dissolve. Who dissolved it for you and how much did you have of both filler and dissolving?

I only had 1ml of the solution to dissolve my clump of HA that caused my crooked look. I went to Dr. Rupeka in Warren Ohio. He told me he dilutes the solution to make it spread out more as well. I you can compare this to my earlier photo posted in the thread.

Looks better
