Danielle's Story

Several years ago, I lost someone I loved very much.

For two years, I cried. I missed him so much! I did not know how to go on. Eventually, I realized that he would not want me to spend the rest of my life this way. And so, I decided to try to be happy again, to live my life to the fullest - to live my life for both of us.

In spite of my decision to lead a happy life, my face reflected the years of sadness: The grief had left hollows under my eyes and in my cheeks, and a deep frown line ran between my brows.

Every time I looked in the mirror, I was reminded of my loss. In photographs, my smile was never bright enough to hide my sorrow. It took away my self confidence and prevented me from moving forward with my life.

I tried all sorts of creams, exercises and healthy living, praying that sooner or later my sad eyes would look happy again, but nothing seemed to work. Being in my early thirties, a face lift was definitely out of the question.

Research led me to Botox and Juvéderm. However, I was very hesitant, fearing unwanted results. Am I ever glad my initial hesitation did not stop me from trying it!

I started with Botox for my frown line. The treatment only took a few minutes, and within days, that deep indent, which had caused me so much anguish, was gone. I was excited to look in the mirror! What a relief!

I was so pleased with the results, I decided to go ahead with Dr. Hegmann's suggestion to fill the hollows in my cheeks and under my eyes with Juvéderm.

The treatment took less than an hour, but the results were amazing. It plumped up my cheeks and lifted the grief from my eyes. Finally, I looked like myself again!

In just two short treatments, I had regained my self confidence and, best of all, my smile!  

For the first time in years, I shed tears of joy!

Thank you, Dr. Hegmann.
