Hi Everyone!
I visited my Cosmetic Dermatologist (and dear friend!) Dr. Shirazi yesterday in San Diego (yes, I drove from LA to SD to see her, that’s how much I trust her). Here I am heading out for the drive!
I took my video camera with me and taped all the treatments I did, which I’ll share on Youtube, but until that’s edited, here’s the scoop of what I did!
I had a few concerns I wanted to address:
1. The skin on the back of my legs is started to sag 🙁 Maybe it’s not “sagging” per se, but it looks different now that I am 34. It used to look so smooth and tight, now I have these little horizontal lines almost in my skin from it being lose. I want that 21 year old tight skin again back there!
2. My Lips are losing volume as I age also, so I wanted to plump them back up a bit!
Tightening My Legs
To tighten the back of my legs, I did a laser called the “Z Wave Zimmer”. It’s really loud and scary, but surprisingly did not hurt at all!!!
It was my first treatment, and a day later my legs look exactly the same, but the Dr said I will need a series of about 4 treatments before I really see tightening results. I’ll keep you guys updated with the progress….
Lip Filler
I have filled my lips before, however I have never seen the method that Dr. Shirazi used on me, it was so cool!
It’s un-natural looking for lips to be uniformly full. Naturally full lips have a little bit of an indention right in the center, creating two “pillows” on each end of your lip. In order to re-create this more naturally full look, Dr. Shirazi used a piece of string- yes string- that she had me hold in between my teeth and pull either up or down. This keeps the filler from going in the center of the lips.
Once I got comfortable with the string we started the procedure, here’s a quick time lapse of it from my phone!
The results were beautiful! I can’t believe in all my years of doing my lips, I have never seen this method. I am loving them.
As I said, I will be posting an in depth Video on My Youtube Page of my entire visit, including both treatments live, so stay turned for those!!
And, for anyone that has something negative to say about fillers or lasers (or plastic surgery for that matter)- this is my body, my life, and it’s therefore my decision 🙂 You do with yours as you please, and I’ll do the same. It’s no one’s place to judge someone else for such a trivial thing.
If there’s some aspect of yourself that you want to enhance, if it will make YOU feel better or be happier- do it. It doesn’t make you a bad person, or any less of a human being. Ignore the noise…
To end this post, here’s a close up BEFORE I left for the appointment, I’m wearing Lilly Lashes in style Goddess. I’ll post an AFTER photo for you guys tomorrow!

Thanks for being so honest! I LOVE that method. I’m looking to go back for my second round (first last year) and still deciding on who to go to as my last person moved away. Your doctor is probably above my budget wahhhhh.
Girl, you do you. Don’t pay any mind to the haters. Everyone gets fillers and a nip here and there. I think your perfect.
❤️ Always,
Adriana
