I get square-jaw Botox from time to time, and it had been 1 year since my last contour injection. During the consultation, they recognized me and asked if I had come in with anything in mind. I said I wanted the contour injection set that contains steroids, and they said that for women, if you get injections with steroids or steroid-like ingredients, there can be cases of abnormal uterine bleeding, so they did not recommend it. They said they had gotten it themselves too and told me to be careful! They did not force me to do something else or push an expensive option. Since I said I had come specifically for this, they explained that this injection can have side effects, and that this contour injection uses a small dose, so it is only injected into the double-chin area, or something like that.
I have a bit of trauma when it comes to needles. That day, while they were injecting me, I suddenly thought the front opening of the needle got blocked, and the doctor pressed down hard, then it burst open. Nothing happened to me, but anyway, because I was so shocked and tense, while they were continuing, that vasovagal syncope thing came on again? (This is a personal trauma thing!) Anyway, my vision started turning yellow, my blood pressure dropped, I got cold sweats, and I quickly told them. They stopped the procedure, told me to rest for a bit, and asked if I wanted to continue. I lay there, felt a little better, and then continued. At first it was a male doctor, and when I was continuing, they said there were a lot of patients for the male doctor and the wait would probably get long, so they asked if I wanted to get treated by the female doctor since she was available. I thought, well, this is just a light procedure, so I said sure. But to me, the female doctor seemed more professional and looked like she had more experience! The male doctor felt like he had just started..? Because when I said, wait a moment, I am getting dizzy (I can usually endure it, but I really felt like throwing up and it was hard), he said, I will finish quickly, please relax~ and I wondered if he had never dealt with a patient like me before? But the female doctor, when I started sweating again while continuing, said, that happens sometimes, do not be nervous! and comforted me like that. Maybe it is just a difference in style? I am not sure. Anyway, it was fine if you just wanted something cheap and quick, and I liked that they did not push other procedures on me!
Actually, I first went to Guro after going to the Gangnam branch for a while, and I liked Guro more than Gangnam...
