Cosmetic Work Done For Wedding?

Hi! Yes me! I got Invisalign about a year and a half ago, now I’m getting 2 implants in and whitening. So I should have perfectly white teeth by the wedding. And I started the implant process in feb, and will be done in June. Wedding is in July.

I will probably get whitening done.
I am TEMPTED to do Invisalign but feel silly at my age LOL

Absolutely. I get a little Botox and lip filler. I go about 3.5 weeks before the wedding so that way my lips heal and my Botox really kicks in.

Ooh okay i might be al little late on my dental process (had no idea we were going to decide on July 2022 until last night) and I need about 3 teeth moved + an implant so I might have to save that work till after depending

Ohhh Iʻll ask about whitening at my consultation!

And noooo not silly! Iʻm looking at possibly being a full brace face. Grew up not really having $$ for braces so here I am now haha

Iʻve definitely been debating a little filler and botox for my lines. Iʻm a little nervous about having to repeat filling/firming but it might be nice for such a special day to feel my absolute best.

Absolutely! I got a little Botox to help with some fine lines I don’t like and to help my smile. When I smile my top lip goes up so you see a lot of my gums and I hate it so the Botox helps me keep my top lip down more. I got it done about 3 months before the wedding and will get a touch up a few weeks before the wedding date.

View Quoted Comment Yeah, I grew up really poor and made sure my girls got braces. So now that they are done maybe I will? Maybe.

View Quoted Comment Definitely do it for you, you deserve it!

View Quoted Comment I like my lips for the most part but my acne scars and smile lines are very real

I am seriously considering Botox and Juvederm, but I have never had it before so it’s hard to pull the trigger 😬 I had a VBeam laser treatment for capillaries in my face & two months later I still have some discoloration from the treatment. I’ll be seeing a dermatologist this week to discuss my goals & hopefully figure out a good timeline & I’m excited! I also started Curology and so far it’s been great!


I’d be very interested to hear others’ experiences with Juvederm!

View Quoted Comment I say go for it! You put others before you, now it’s time to do something nice for yourself! They have invisible braces now too, which is such a great option for adults! I didn’t even know such a thing existed until a former coworker got them!

View Quoted Comment I just may!!

I'm considering it.

I have malar mounds/festoons (if you Google this, I assure you mine aren't as bad as some of the ones you'll see - but if the right light catches them, I feel like they make me look sick.) They're genetic, as my dad and all of my siblings also had/have them. There are a few cosmetic surgeons in my state who use laser and RF to minimize them.

I wouldn't say I'm doing this "for" the vow renewal. It's something I want to do anyway. But having that event that I want to look my best for is making me look into the consultation, budgeting, and figuring out how far ahead I need to do it in order for it to be successful in time (I'm pretty sure it's like other laser treatments where you usually need more than one.)

I definitely understand bags under the eyes but I can imagine severity would be frustrating

Exactly! The things Iʻm considering are all things Iʻve been wanting to do, but having a wedding date kinda puts a deadline that hopefully everything can be done by since the photos will live on forever. Iʻm scheduling consultations and not worrying about budgeting yet haha

Festoons are a little different than eyebags - they are on the cheeks. They look like creases across the plump part of the cheek. Like so: https://tinyurl.com/3hacj8pn and https://tinyurl.com/3ntvt5fs The first one is much deeper than mine, mine look more like the second photo (and it's more dramatic on one side.) Lighting can make a difference, because some lighting you can't see them, but any overhead lighting they are very noticeable, and I otherwise have very nice skin and look younger than my age, so they bug me a lot.

View Quoted Comment Oh shoot! I apologize! Lighting does make a world of difference indeed

Yes-- You my dentist removed the tooth and put a temp tooth in, looks like a real tooth.

View Quoted Comment I'm going Friday for my consult. I'm excited to get options & answers. I don't want a mouth of metal in my wedding photos so I'm hoping it can be done before then, or I'll wait till after

Yes-- weigh out the pros and the cons-- at best it'll take 3 months to heal so 4 months from start to finish.
