Saanvi Miller, 58, is a former...
Saanvi Miller, 58, is a former schoolteacher who took early retirement. For years, she felt the deep nasolabial folds and marionette lines around her mouth made her look perpetually tired and stern, which didn't match her lively spirit. She avoided photos and felt self-conscious during video calls with her grandchildren. Her dermatologist recommended a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler to restore volume and soften the lines, explaining it as a 'liquid lift' with minimal downtime. During the 30-minute treatment, a topical numbing cream was used, and Saanvi felt only mild pressure. There was slight redness and swelling for 24 hours, which subsided with ice packs. A week later, she looked naturally refreshed, her lines were softened, and her face had a smoother, more rested contour. Emotionally, she moved from feeling like her face betrayed her energy to feeling a renewed confidence that her outward appearance finally matched her inner vibrancy.
