I’m very happy with the results of my procedure. I really trust Dr Machida…for those who want it, they prayed for me before my procedure. It’s great because it doesn’t change my original appearance. My husband thinks it looks very nice and natural. He’s very pleased with my results and I am too. Love my results.
