Maintaining My Look with Botox and Radiesse: A 1-Year Check-In
An excerpt from Caroline Weaver's journal:
Since I was 20, I’ve always taken anti-aging supplements and used high-quality creams and serums on my face. In my 30s, I added face yoga and red light therapy. But at 42, I wanted to add another strategy—one that would enhance my appearance in a subtle, natural way that still felt like me.
I heard Dr. Godley was the absolute best for this in Vancouver. After looking through his Before & After photos, I was convinced this would be a great next step and a valuable addition to my regimen.
The office was beautiful, with a relaxed, comfortable space where we sat down for our consult. Dr. Godley was so friendly and engaging that any lingering doubt I had disappeared immediately. He offered creative solutions, explained everything clearly, and introduced me to some of the advanced treatments now available—along with how the results would gradually build and last. I felt completely confident putting my face in his hands. He created a plan that tuned my features artistically and sparingly.
I had never done anything like this before, and it ended up being just a few quick pinches. Dr. Godley worked with careful focus and precision. After a short period to let things settle, I could carry on with life as usual. My friends had never seen me look better—but they couldn’t quite put their finger on what had changed, which to me is the sign of a perfect treatment.
It felt like me—just more balanced. Rather than masking problems, Dr. Godley subtly corrected and harmonized my features using non-intrusive methods. It wasn’t about distortion—it was about achieving overall symbiosis.
1 Year Later: Maintenance and Follow-Up
I had lip filler originally, but I didn’t need to repeat it — those results are still holding beautifully a year and a half later.
For my 1-year maintenance appointment, I returned for a smaller amount of Radiesse biostimulators — just a third of the original dose, since this visit was purely for maintenance. I also had a Botox refresh, which I typically do twice a year.
At this check-in, everything looked great. I’ll definitely return in another year for a thoughtful re-evaluation to decide on the best plan to maintain the look that feels most true to me.
Dr. Godley is such a talented and empathetic aesthetic doctor. I know he’s always learning and staying up to date with cutting-edge treatments to create the most personalized and finely tuned plans for his patients! If you’ve been thinking about a more natural, long-lasting approach to looking and feeling your best, I can’t recommend Dr. Godley enough. Book a consultation—you’ll be in the best hands.
