BOTOX AND NOSE FILLER AT ASTIQUE, THE AESTHETIC CLINIC 2

February 19, 2013

Hey everyone!

Let's take a break from all the fashion and outfit blog posts, today I'm going to talk about the most popular topic in aesthetic & beauty industry: Botox, Chin & Nose Fillers.

It IS such a popular topic that I saw & read on newspapers and in many forum people are talking about it. So I'm gonna give it a shot to explain and share with you guys further information that you have been asking around.

Before flying off to Vietnam, I made an appointment with my favorite clinic- Astique The Aesthetic Clinic for some facial treatments. I did my first botox & filler injection with them back in 2012 (Read the old entry here) and continue to be one in 2013.

Their clinic has just moved from Takashimaya to Shaw House, a much better and bigger location.

When I arrived, there were some cookies and a hot cup of tea have already prepared for me. I was taken to a treatment room to get myself prepared & ready.

First thing first, numbing cream was applied to the areas where I wanted to have botox & fillers injected to.

I had numbing cream applied on my nose bridge as I wanted a minor touch up. As you can see, some amounts of filler on my nose are still there after 1 year.

Unfortunately, botox in my jaw didn't last that long so I had to re-inject. Usually, botox will last for 6 months only.

This time round, I wanted to focus on other area on my face and that explains why there were some plastic wraps on my chin area.

While waiting for numbing cream to take effect, bunch of movies were given to me to watch. I chose "Titanic" :D *never get bored of any movie that talks about love*

Also, more tea and cookies were brought in for me to enjoy.

Believe it or not, I was still watching the movie while doctor was doing the injection :D

This time, Dr. Matthew Yap used Restylane to inject into my nose and chin.

Let's look at how the procedure went.

Doctor first marked all the important spots where needed to be injected to reduce the size of my jaw. Botox is best known for jaw slimming, fyi!

Injection in the process.

while I was trying to glance at the TV :D

Move on to the nose fillers part, doctor injected very small amount of filler into my nose as my nose was already pretty high up. In fact, I wanted to make my nose tip to look pointier but Dr. Yap suggested not to so I trusted him.

Done with nose & jaw in less than 20 minutes, now let's move on to the most exciting part.

Chin fillers!

From the very first time, I wanted to do something on my chin, to make it look longer, to create a V-shape look. That first time was failed miserably not because of doctor's skill, it was because of my chin. When I was 12 years old, I had a serious injury when somebody threw their broken glass window from 2nd story building to where I was standing. The piece of glass stabbed onto my chin by chance and left a scar til now. I didn't remember about it at all and didn't even know a scar exists until I found out there was small amount of filler from my chin flew down to my neck. I guess it must be from that accident so I consulted doctor and had it solved. I thought I would never have a longer chin. :(

This time, I told Dr. Yap what happened and how much I wanted to have my chin fillers done. He suggested me a different approach: injecting the filler on the upper part of the chin instead of the lower one.

First injection

Second injection

And done!

See any difference yet? Don't be hurry! I'll show you up-close photo shortly. But before that, allow me to take you to a clinic tour :D

Here is clinic receptionist and guests waiting area.

Ok! This is new! I realized that Astique the Aesthetic Clinic now have THEIR OWN beauty products under their name. Talk about BRANDING!

Here with my favorite, handsome doctor: Dr. Matthew Yap!

Close up shot! Look at how glowing and flawless his skin is! Jealous!

And now, here for you- my lovies, my exclusive BEFORE-AFTER photos that you have been waiting for:

Side view.

Front view!

And here is the photo after 1 week I took when I was in Vietnam. No photoshop on the photo, I swear!

The most wonderful part is: The filler DID NOT flow down to my neck as what happened few years ago. I was so worried for the entire week after that and kept checking & making sure there would not be anything happened. It did not! :D :D :D

Amazing huh? I hope my blog entry has answered your question: "What happened to your face?"- "You look different?"- "How could your chin get so long?" etc...

Well, If you see somebody's face changed (longer chin, higher nose, smaller jaw) in very short period of time, there is no such reason called "Weight Loss", they most certainly have fillers done.

And I don't think why we need to hide it away or feel embarrassed about it. After all, it's a very common aesthetic treatment with no downtime, safety, pain free and quick compares to plastic surgery. Who doesn't want to look good anyway!

BOTOX AND NOSE FILLER AT ASTIQUE, THE AESTHETIC CLINIC.

March 14, 2012

Right! I'm talking about it again and I'm very sure there are many of you are still curious about this topic because everyday when I check my blog statistic, I see people searching for keyword "Nose Filler treatment" and ended up in my blog. I guess, people are in hunger for this topic. Time to reveal the secret:

I've just had my jaw botox and nose filler done :D
It's awesome!

I know what your reaction is and I had the same reaction too 5 years ago. "OMG!" "Eww", "What?" or whatever it is. 5 years ago, when I read an article talking about some people getting botox or filler done to make them look younger, I used to criticize them and called them a cheater. I thought "OMG! It's so dangerous. It will damage your face in long term" "Why do they need to do that?" bla bla bla....

Can't believe that 5 years later, I got my first botox & filler done and now I'm loving it. To clarify, I didn't eat my own words and become a cheater. I learned and had the right point of view about what is the true story behind the magical botox & filler.

Last 2 weeks, I went to Astique The Aesthetic Clinic to get botox injection for my square jawline and filler for my nose bridge. C'mon every girl wants to have oval-shaped face, big eyes, high nose and fuller lips like Angelina Jolie and there is nothing wrong with that. Unfortunately, not many girls are naturally born with all that. We need help!

Honestly, plastic surgery is one of the choices pop-ing up in my head time to time. Ok! You can say I'm talking crap because I have totally zero courage to do plastic surgery but I keep talking about it as if I'm gonna do it tomorrow, lolz. When I found out about botox & filler (through internet research), I was absolutely thrilled. Really? My square jaw can be reduced? My nose can be higher? OMG! It's like a dream come true.

I know, you guys probably still not believe that these things work, so for a better comparison, here is the photo before- after in case you want the proof

Look at my chio V-shape jaw and my nose! I'm so in love :D Can you see the difference now? Botox and filler not only enhance your face features but also help to maintain your skin condition very well. Lot of my friends told me that my skin looks so glowy lately, so healthy and bright. I look prettier and they can't find out what did I do. How fun to play the guess game! :D
I'm sure there are tons of questions you would like to ask, below I'm gonna just answer you some of the most common ones:

1. How much does Botox/ Filler cost? Averagely should be from S$900- S$1800 for filler. Jaw slimming should be from S$400- S$500 depends on clinic. It doesn't hurt you to call to clinic and ask. My clinic Astique The Aesthetic Clinic contact +65- 6732 2801.
2. It looks painful, doesn't it? Absolutely no because numbing cream will be applied and you will feel numbed instead of painful :D
3. How long does it last? It last from 6- 8 months. For my case, I'm lucky because my first nose filler lasted up to a year :D
4. Does my face get swollen after that? Do I need to take medical leave? What? Medical leave? You can go out and party right after the treatment, lolz. No swollen face for me at all, not even bruises. To some people, there might be some needle marks or bruises on their face which can be covered by make-up.
5. What is the difference between botox and filler then? Both can be used to reduce wrinkles and in combination to achieve the best result. The difference is filler is used to plump up facial features to get more volume while botox is to reduce and weaken the muscles. Don't ever use botox for your nose and filler for your jaw, lolz.
6. My boyfriend doesn't allow me to do botox or filler even I really want to, what should I do? Find another boyfriend! It's your face and you have the right to do whatever you want to make you happy (make sure it's the right thing) and he is only allowed to give opinion NOT a decision. Can you imagine a life of having a demanding and arbitrary boyfriend/ husband and you can't do what you want to? Poor you.
7. What do I need to prepare before going for treatment? Make sure you have done enough research about the procedure that you want to do, consult with doctor. Most important thing you need to prepare before the treatment is cash/ cheque/ credit card. :D

In summary, Botox & Filler are safe and suitable for all ages. If you really need to ask for more information, please call the clinic +65- 6732 2801.
I'm gonna end this blog entry with some photos taken during the filming and treatment process. It's boring to read all the texts, I know.

THE BEST AND SAFEST WAY TO TRANSFORM YOUR FACE

February 15, 2011

...is ~~NOT~~ just plastic surgery.

And I'm going to share with you the greatest secret and tip of how to have a higher nose, V-shape chin, higher cheek bone which can change your life, I'm very sure. If you tell me "No, I don't need to look beautiful. I'm happy with my flat nose", you are such a liar, BIG time. Everyone wants to look beautiful nowadays unless you want to be a ugly chick, going to be "expired" soon yet no guy ever wants to date with you. Not only girl but also many guys are wanting to change something on their faces: nose, eyelids, lips, chin, jaw, cheek, etc...But the first thing they ever come across their minds is: Plastic Surgery.

No no no! There are still plenty of methods out there, how you know which one is suitable for you and most importantly, WHICH ONE IS SAFE? I'm telling you now

Remember my previous blog entry "Think of face transform, think of filler injection"? which I posted a year plus ago. I ever mentioned about one thing called

Correcto! You can start learning about Restylane, how it could help to enhance your face features without even going under the knife. And IT'S SUPER AWESOME! I've been always wanting to try out Restylane or nose filler for more than 8 months since the first time I attended the event talking about it organized by omy.sg and Q-med. I studied about it plus consultation with doctor. After all, I decided to just do it. But before you want to follow what I say, read some infos yourself. I love you very much that's why I even spent an hour gathering all necessary information and putting them into a nice piece of art here...So here you go!

Click to enlarge photo

2 weeks before flying back Vietnam, I went to Sloane Clinic to have my facial make-over done. Can't tell you how much excited I was, of course I felt nervous too but thinking of having a chio (*means cute) face gave me more determination to do it. :D So here I was, at Sloane Clinic.

Say Hi to Sloane Clinic!

Restylane banner with some brochures on.

Receptionist area

After consulting Dr. Siew, I even more than 100% assure that I'm going to have my facial makeover done. As such, "I'm giving my life to you, Dr. Siew" *just kidding*. He just made me feel so comfortable and relax and trust him that he will do a good job.

And the procedure started....

Reading through the agreements and signing.

Taking before photos!

Guess what was on my tongue? Some sweet pills to give me numbing affect.

First, we started with Cheek augmentation! I'm going to have higher cheeks, so excited!

Getting my cheeks numbed by the frozen peas before the injection started. I looked like I was being tortured by doctor and the nurse, lolz...In fact, they were trying to prevent the pain for me.

Me and the nurse were posing to the camera while doctor was turning away, lolz. How cute she is!

15 minutes after numbing applied, doctor started injecting filler into my cheeks and instantly I can see the result. It's like magic, seriously! And most importantly, it was so fast! It was less than half an hour to get my cheeks augmented.

Second, Doctor Siew moved to Chin augmentation! This procedure is to solve your round chin problem. If you saw my previous blog entries with my photos in it, you probably knew that I had a round face and pretty short chin. I've been asking doctors and doing my own research whether or not I should have a chin augmentation to enhance the size of my chin. But I was so reluctant and I left it just like that with the thought of I would never have courage to do plastic surgery. Until Dr. Siew told me he could do something about it. I was like "OMG! Are you serious?" And then there he was, really doing something with my chin.

Sorry for not having any photo of nose filler to share, but I'm gonna share with you the utmost important photo:

It's here!

Finished!!!!!!!
Me, after all the injections done!
Seriously, I couldn't wait to grab the mirror and look at my new face as everyone kept nodding every times doctor finished the injection.

Let me put my make up on first

Make up corner with all the clinic products are FREE to use. Awesome max! No longer worry to leave the clinic with a plain pale face. :D

Proudly presenting to you my transformed face:

Here I am with my make up on! Instant result as you can see and I swear I didn't do any photoshop on my photos at all.

Close up side view! Don't get jealous with my super chio chin and high nose please! If you are jealous with what I'm having, go to look for Dr. Siew at Sloane Clinic.

Side by side photo for better comparison:

Unless you are blind, my face is obviously different now. I can't say any other words besides happiness and satisfaction :D

I'm so damn in love with my new chin! It's like a dream or what? How could it be that fast? Imagine if you have do plastic surgery, how could you see your new chin right after the surgery done. No way! But with restylane, you can. Not just that, assuming the new nose or chine doesn't meet your expectation unfortunately? Know what? Doctor can make the changes too, OMG!! This is what plastic surgery just dies of shame.

Restylane is so good that I MUST share with everyone and people are still misunderstanding it or lacking knowledge of it. Time for you to brain wash yourself. What are you waiting for? Get your God damn phone and make an appointment with your preferred doctor else, you can call to Sloane Clinic and make an appointment with Dr. Siew Tuck Wah *my most recommended doctor*

Call NOW 6533 2522

My doctor is better than yours. Plus handsome, plus experienced, what can you ask for more?

With Q-Med girl Christina, Dr. Siew, the nurse and me.

Lastly, this is something that you are looking forward to seeing: Video recorded me in procedure. It's good for you to see the whole real thing and you'll realize that, it isn't scary or dangerous at all

Watch!!!!

Now, it's time for Q&A! I know you're gonna throw to me load of questions, I'm just answering you the most important ones

1. How much does it cost?

If you want to do the chin augmentation, nose filler, cheek augmentation, wrinkles, laugh line filler at once, It would cost you around S$6300. If it's just nose filler or chin augmentation alone, I'm not sure though. Call up Doctor to ask -6533 2522

2. Does clinic accept installment payment?

No, idea. Ask the clinic, please!

3. Does Nose fillter have any side effect?

No, No, No. There might be some bruises on your face which can be covered easily by concealer. That's all.

4. Is it painful?

I thought it was painful but in fact it wasn't. If I could stand it, you would take it too.

5. I'm having my period, can I still go for the injection?

You are doing something to your face, not your ass, why cannot? Unless, you want to enlarge your *erhm* vagina and I'm not sure if anyone could do it for you, lolz.

6. What about breast feeding, can I still go for filler injection?

Are you going to make your AA cup to B or C cup? I meant breast augmentation! What does face filler injection get to do with your boobs?

7. If what Restylane is so good, why there are many people still going for plastic surgery rather than nose fillter?

Maybe they haven't heard or known about Restylane yet. You idiot! If you ever know Restylane and it's safer, faster result than plastic surgery, which one you would go for?

8. Where is Sloane Clinic located?

The one I went to is Chevron House, 30 Raffles Place, #03-01 Chevron House, Singapore 04862. You can visit their website HERE

9. Is Restylane only for women? Can men do it too?

Oh yeah! Restylane is for everyone who wishes to look pretty: guy, girl, gay, lesbian, uncle, auntie, widow, single-mom, housewife, bla bla bla...

10. Where can I get information about Restylane?

Oh yeah, good question. Check out and join their facebook

http://facebook.com/RestylaneSingapore

They will equip you with alot more information as long as you request.

I hope my answers are clear and sufficient enough. It's your turn to make something change to your life and first thing you must do is to enhance your look. When you look good, you will feel good and you will have a lot of confidence in yourself, in doing whatever you want. Don't believe me? Let's just try it and tell me if I'm right.

By then, I hope I'll receive some consultation fees from you or at least a "Thank you" for sharing such useful tips ;)

Good luck!
