Hi, Dr. Castor:
As promised, I wanted to get back w/ you regarding my experience w/ Dyport. As you know, I have been I Botox user for the past 2-3 years, but now that I found Dyport I don’t think I’ll be using Botox for at least a long while….. To summarize…..I LOOOOOVE DYPORT !!
You had mentioned that a couple of your patients had noticed that Botox was not as effective for them after awhile, and that they felt that Dyport had done a better job. I have to agree on both points. The effects that I was getting from Botox on my last few visits did not seem to be as effective as on initial visits. However, I felt that it was possible that the difference had more to do with variations on the actual injection sites than on the product itself.
As this is only my first time using Dyport, I guess we will have to see if the effects obtained with Dyport differ with repeated use, just as it seems to be a possibility w/ Botox.
One clear difference that I found w/ Dyport was that, the effects began to be noteceable the day after you applied it! I was amazed!! Specifically, the area above my right eye was noteceably less active the following day! (I was very pleased right there and then!!) This area had been an area of concern for me, and previous Botox injections had failed to effect it to my delight.
By day four, my “crows feet” were absolutely GONE!!
Although the wrinkles under my eyes are MARKEDLY improved, they are still present. (This means …… MORE DYPORT UNDER THE EYES NEXT TIME, RIGHT? )
Anyway, I took the time to write to you about my personal experience b/c I know Dyport is a new product, and as a result, your experience w/ it is limited. I hope my comments help other clients to make a decision, when considering the choices available.
Sincerely,
Lourdes
To anyone who may read this, I definately recommend Dr. Castor and his office staff for any procedure you may be looking to obtain.
After many years of wanting augmentation and going through many consultations, I was recommonded to go see Dr. Castor. I was so pleased with the amount of time he took with me on the intial visit, explaining the different options I had, what the process of the procedure would be. I felt very comfortable with him from the beginning to the end. The surgery was scheduled in a very timely manner.
On the day of the surgery, the surgery center was very friendly and calming, they kept me advised of what was happening and took great care of me during recovery.
I am SO pleased with how my augmentation turned out, very natural looking and feeling, the surgery was approximately 3 months ago and I already have very little scaring. I was well prepared what to expect after the surgery and was not blind sided by any part of it.
I had two follow up visits with Dr. Castor who did not make me feel like I was in a “mill”, he took all the time needed to answer any questions I had.
Thank you Dr. Castor (and office) for giving me back my self esteem !!!
Thanks for the great information, I really love to spend time here going through these posts
This is a really cool site, good job and I am glad that I came across it.
I have been a patient of Dr. Castors for many years. He did my tummy tuck in 2004, my arm lift in 2009 and I am sure there will be a few more things I will be having him do for me. He is an awesome doctor! He has a great bedside manner, he is funny, patient and a very kind man. He does outstanding work and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for any type of work. He takes the time to listen to what you want and fully understands. He has a fantastic staff whom are also great people to be around. They all make you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in the door! Thank you Dr. Castor for most of all putting up with me and my whining! LOL!
You Rock!
