On the procedure, LoGerfo shared on his own page: "Using dermal filler can be a wonderful way to replace lost volume and enhance the face, but filler placement is extremely important.

Amy explained to one follower that turning 40 and undergoing surgery for endometriosis - which involved the removal of her uterus and appendix - was the reason behind her getting fillers in the first place.
