Full disclosure: I’ve always been wary of filler. I’ve also always been insecure about certain areas of my face that are less symmetrical than others. I know almost nobody’s face is perfectly symmetrical and most people probably didn’t even notice the points on mine, but truthfully, it bothered me. So for a few years now, I’ve gone back and forth between wanting to fix my asymmetry and being too scared to try fillers. Horror stories and bad outcomes were burned in my brain, and I didn’t want to actually change my appearance, just make a few subtle tweaks, so I figured filler wasn’t for me.
Well, after two years of looking at myself on Zoom, I was much more open to the idea of dabbling in the world of fillers. A friend I trust with my life recommended GoodSkin Clinics in Los Angeles, noting that their approach is personalized and more “European.” I wasn’t sure what that meant, but I do generally associate European beauty with a more natural look, so my interest was piqued. I met with Lisa Goodman, the founder, who was trained in Paris. She explained to me the science of aging and how my treatment would be based on the specific way my face is aging. As we get older, the facial skeleton, muscles, fat, and skin change over time. (You can see a more in-depth explanation in this video, which I found super helpful in understanding the process.) Each person’s aging process is unique, so their treatment should be tailored to their individual issue.
Goodman was tremendously helpful in explaining everything I’ve ever wanted to know about filler before we began treatment, so I decided to document the process to be able to share it here in case anyone else out there is considering it or simply just filler-curious. I’m of course not advocating for anyone to do something they don’t want to, but if you want more information, I’m here to be your guinea pig.
