Botox and Filler Master.

I’ve been tinkering with my face since the day I turned forty. That’s 11 years, folks! I went to several different places over the years in NYC and Honolulu and I got stabbed in a variety of places with both Botox and filler. All fine. Mostly good. Except the time, someone convinced me to put Botox in my upper lip. What a disaster. So I began to think...

My vanity bills were getting extraordinary. Every time I went to the medical spa or the house of yewth there was a “new” idea, new place to stick, newer better substances. Finally, I just didn’t know if I was being taken for a ride. Seriously, just tell me what I should do and leave a little something in my wallet at the end of visit.

I went to Dr. Crabtree because I had met him socially and he seemed like a good enough guy. My first meeting with him was straight forward, he offered advice in a friendly forthright way. “Should I do THIS?” i asked wondering about the newest thing. “No,” you don’t need it. Or “no” to that injection that can go very terribly wrong. (I had been told this by the other “specialists” just before they injected me in the very place that “was a bad idea.”)

So Crabtree won’t do bad ideas; he just won’t. I love him for that because it’s really easy to get swept up and away with all this tinkering. I had someone put too much juviderm in my face once because, as she said, “there’s more left in the tube.” ? I looked like a puffer fish. Thank god my mother was dead cause she would have freaked out to look at me. I notice a lot of people overdo the filler. I don’t want to be anyone’s experiment. I just want to look fresh, and clean and not too old. I also don’t want to be paying for Botox injections in places where there isn’t any muscle and is therefore ineffective (funny, the others failed to mention all that while injecting away,) Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t that Crabtree’s product is necessarily cheaper but he’s able to deploy it in the right places and in the amounts.

If it’s a thoughtful doctor who understands what you want, cautions you about what’s not a good idea (which is to say he won’t do it) and wont up-sell you things you don’t need, he’s your guy!

I recently had liposuction with Crabtree. I’m still healing but feel great. Wouldn’t have trusted anyone else to do it. But that’s a review for another day.
