ATLAS MEDICAL CLINIC | DR SM YUEN (NOSE FILLERS)

Hello all, so I'm back today with an update that starting this year I have decided to join Atlas Medical Clinic by Dr SM Yuen :) 

And to make it clear there wasn't an issue with the clinic I was with previously, I just wanted to try out something different for a change this year and Atlas Medical Clinic was my choice for 2015! 

So far my skincare journey with them has been a breeze, I haven't had any issues with my skin and to maintain my skin I have laser sessions every 2 weeks as well as a facial once a month! 

Just a little background on Atlas Medical Clinic, Dr Yuen's practice revolves around the use of non-

invasive to minimally invasive synergistic treatments to tackle a variety of problems ranging from 

aesthetic dermatology to cosmetic enhancements. Formally trained and mentored by one of Korea's top aesthetics doctor, his area of expertise would be Korean Medical Aesthetics which are usually safe and really natural!

For this post, I won't be going into my laser or facials yet as I figured there will be more updates on those in the future so I will start with the recent aesthetic treatment which I have done with them which is.... Nose Fillers! 

So for those of you who have followed my blog would  have known that fillers aren't new to me, I have had them done on my chin and cheeks before but for the nose it's something new!

I don't hate my nose (don't get me wrong) just that I wanted to see how my nose would look like with a higher nose bridge, lol yes...... I'm just being vain! Hence I decided to try nose fillers out! 

So basically what the fillers will do will be to try to straighten out my nose bridge as I have a protruding bone (as seen below) 

Somehow I am in a love/hate relationship with this bone as from the front this bone actually helps make my nose look sharper but from the side I didn't like how it looked... hence I couldn't decide if I wanted to remove it via surgery as I'm afraid I would prefer how my nose looked before hahahaha so thank god for fillers I can try them first and see how it will look like if my nose bridge is straight!

(front view) : nose looks sharp with protruding bone 

*skin is glowing from the facial I did before the fillers ^^ 0 makeup on in these photos!

(side view) : nose looks slightly hooked

The procedure:

So after detailed consultation and numbing on the treatment area, the procedure started! If you are wondering if it's painful.... well..... I wouldn't say painful but pretty uncomfortable? Comparing to my chin and cheeks the nose was really quite.an.experience! 

On a pain level I would rate it 3/10, as for discomfort, 8/10 ( >.< )

Nevertheless in total everything took about 15 minutes and very soon it was over~~~

So after the fillers your nose will be slightly... swollen. This is probably where you feel the fillers are too much and too high, I was skeptical at first, wondering if my bridge could be too high but I was assured that the swelling will come down by another 10-20% once it has settled down! 

And true enough weeks later.... I can say that I am truly in love in my nose fillers ^^

Just some recent photos after the fillers and as you can see my nose looks more defined with minimal contouring! 

For those who are wondering, these fillers are temporary and lasts up at least 6 months, the best part is you can always top up or reduce it up to your preference :)

My birthday would never have be this awesome without you all x

-

so back to this post, today I will be blogging about my experience with Drx :)

Recently I've been introduced to DRx and how I knew bout DRx was thanks to Eric, that boy couldn't stop raving about DRx and how awesome they were so when I was approached by them I was super happy and I couldn't wait to start my journey with them! 

My first appointment with DRx was Consultation with Dr Yanni, who was appointed to be my doctor.

Upon reaching the clinic I was blown away, it was so huge and white and clean, really got the 'medical' feel, I really liked that everything was very professional :) 

DRx has the entire level tho, one side comprises of the MediSpa and the other
(where I will be heading) would be the clinic :) Sign is placed there to avoid confusion! Haha

Just a quick visual tour of the place, here's the reception area!

Waiting area

Here's another waiting area which is located further inside the clinic, known as the private waiting area

Photo room to snap before/after pictures, it's super cool okay.
Like an entire room just for taking professional pictures to track your progress with DRx! 

treatment rooms with their specific treatment machines etc..

and finally the consultation room!

So what would I be doing as my very first treatment with DRx.... well its......Fillers!!!

What are Fillers?

Fillers are basically temporary enhancements injected into your face to create definition or fill out wrinkles, dents.. basically give your face the volume that it lacks of. Fillers aren't permanent tho, they lasts about 3-6months (depending on how fast your body metabolize them) some people would have them longer and some would only have them for a short period of time. 

If they're not permanent, where do they disappear to? 

Well, FILORGA fillers are made up of mainly hyaluronic acid and this hyaluronic acid is already present in our body.. so what our body does overtime is digest the acid and yea, the fillers will therefore dissolve away as well.

So where would I be doing the fillers?

After consulting with Dr Yanni and expressing some of my concerns, my fillers will be done on the cheeks and chin! I've always had this issue with my cheeks where I see this "dent" 

(you can see it really clearly on this pic above) and it gets obvious in most of my pics and I hate it cos it makes me look like my skin is sagging.... and I look super old!!! Dr Yanni said that could be fixed with fillers and I was super happy and excited to hear that :) 

I also chose my chin as to give my face a longer shape so it looks shaper and 

it makes my face look slimmer as well.

My consultation was a week before the actual procedure and I was super excited for the day to come!

So.. fast forwarding to the day of my procedure, I was brought into the private area to have numbing cream applied to the areas which I was gonna have the fillers done on.

Taking before and after shots first, followed by application of the numbing cream..

the other 2 bloggers who was with me that day were Joanna and Tricia! 

Hehe all of us looking forward to our treatments  (*^▽^*)

got to wait an hour for the cream to set in,

and after that we proceeded into our respective treatment rooms with the doctors assigned to us
HAHA sorry about the shower cap.. I look super ugly lol!!!

numbing cream removed!!!
The redness is just a side effect from the numbing cream, nothing much goes away in awhile :) 

and here's Dr Yanni! I'm so glad to have Dr Yanni as my doctor, she's really very nice and funny!
Makes you feel super comfortable about the procedure and knows what's best for your face :)
Right here she's explaining to me on where the fillers will be injected into

followed by marking the spots..

icing the areas that are to be injected..

and finally starting the procedure! 

Okay I know it looks painful..... but I FELT NO PAIN! I could feel the fillers going under my skin but that was about it. I also think it's partly cos I have a high tolerance for pain so..... yeah but I assure you I didn't felt pain at all which was awesome! 

after the cheeks were my chin!

and I was done in about.... 30-40minutes? Didn't exactly keep track of the time but throughout the procedure I felt really at ease and comfortable as I knew I was in safe and good hands ;)

A picture of me and Dr Yanni! Super chio yes?

and here's my face right after the treatment! 

first from my camera and second from the phone after I left the place, 

can you see my visibly fuller cheeks and sharper chin??! Major love love love!

I was so happy cos with my cheeks looking so much fuller it have my face a more youthful look

which I love!!! Especially when I smile you can see my cheeks so round and defined :D

and here's one day after the procedure,

Super in love with the results!!! 

I mean of course if you compare my face now and a day after the procedure my cheeks aren't as round anymore as there was a little swelling right after it was done. But I can still see my cheeks fuller than before and my chin is still sharp which I really love. 

Honestly I can say now I'm truly in love with fillers!  (´ ▽｀).。ｏ♡

 A big fat hug and Thank You to DRx and Dr Yanni and her team for the procedure and a little more boost of confidence as to how I look now. Am really glad to have stepped on and embarked on this journey with them :)
