La Jolla Juvederm Doctors and Reviews

“Juvederm in Lips - San Diego, CA”

I just had my first treatment of Juvederm in my lips. I LOVE it! My Dr. used numbing cream about 10 minutes before and I barely felt a thing. I was so nervous and it ended up being as easy as botox. I don't seem to have a lot of swelling - at least I hope not because I love the way my lips look right now. I took Arnica for four days prior and will continue to take it for a couple of days.... more

“10 Years Younger! - San Diego, CA”

I had three syringes of juvederm 2 weeks ago. I did this because I had hollows under my eyes, NL folds and marionettes. Recently I had 2 fraxels and my skin was looking good but couldn't deal with deep wrinkles. We did the eyes first. Just a little ice under the eye and then the injections. Painless! I had a couple little dots where the needle went in but no bruising. My hollows... more

“Expert at Creating Youthfulness with...”

To add lost volume, which I swore I would not do because I thought it looked weird on most people. It looks great if done by the right Doctor. more

“Disguise an Unsightly Cleft Lip! -...”

Am 37 and tired of trying to hide the severe asymmetry and scarring with heavy makeup that never works. Just broke down into tears upon seeing the immediate Juvederm results. So THIS is what I would have looked like if I'd never been born with a deformity?! This is so much better than going through another reconstructive surgery. Next time I might even have a few wrinkles filled now that I... more

“Juvederm for Nasolabial Folds”

This is the second time I've had Juvederm injected and I wanted to give some advice that I don't see frequently enough on this site. This is not like having a manicure. There will be downtime, so don't expect to go from the doctor's office straight to lunch with the girls. There will be swelling, small bruises at the injection sites and some soreness for days. Ice for about 3hrs after the... more

“Juvederm Really Worked Well in my...”

I had Juvederm injected into my "smile lines" or nasal-labial folds and it made a huge difference! I am 34 and I started noticing the lines more and more and decided that I think I'm too young to have that so, I did something about it!Dr K did a fantastic job and I noticed a huge difference. They are almost completely filled in. Plus, Juvederm lasts a long time more

“I Look Like I Visited a Time Machine...”

I wanted to look younger, but I wasn't quite ready for plastic surgery. Because I didn't have enough fat for a transfer to my face, the doctor recommended Juverderm and the results couldn't be better.Over the course of a few months, my face was transformed. Since the change was gradual, no one knew I'd had work done but I've had numerous comments about how much younger more

“Wish I Had Done This Sooner”

I have thought about improving my apperance for years now and finally after a lot of research took the plunge. After reading on here I nearly read myself right out of doing it. I took all my questions (many) with me to the Doctor who I research throughly( also saw him on TV local news) and have had Botox done by him prior.I had two syringes for my severe nasolabial fold, creases in upper lip... more

“Juvederm for Cheek Hollows”

I had juvederm plus injected in the cheeks to remove the hollows. I am going on 51 and I thought a little botox along with Juvederm would help.This is my third day and I still have slight swelling butI am waiting a week or so to see the true improvements. I have a follow up appointment in two weeks.I am going on three days and I am wondering whether I can drink a glass of more

“Juvaderm Under Eyes for Tear Troughs...”

First off I had to put a deposit down at this doctors office (which should have been a red flag right away) just for a consultation.My whole experience was odd, he gave me a lidocane shot twice which made my face balloon up right away and said that was normal. Then proceeded to have me lying down flat and then stood behind me like he was going to give me facial to administer the injections. I... more

“Love It!!”

I am only 29 and had nasolabial folds that really bothered me. I had juvederm injected during another surgical procedure and when I woke up, I immediately could see the difference and was happy. I hardly had any bruising. In fact, I don't know if the marks I woke up with were from the marker or the injection site because by the time I washed my face, which was about a day later, they were gone. more

“Pleased So Far”

An hour and a half a counting. I just had one syringe of Juvederm injected into my nasolabial folds and the downturned corners beneath my lips. So far I'm pleased: the results look natural. The skin looks smoother (but no freakishly smooth) and I look refreshed and about 3-4 years younger. I'm 45. The injections were tolerable. The doctor numbed me beforehand with a topical gel and then used... more

“Juvederm Works if Injected Correctly...”

My procedure was done way too superficially and now 2 months later I still have the "tyndall" effect. One eye looks like I got punched. If injected correctly, it would have solved my problem tear trough hollows. I may attempt again with someone else once the "logs" under my eyes dissipate. My sister had the same procedure done and had a wonderful result. more

“Juvederm Fixed Hollows Under my Eyes”

I have developed dark hollows under my eyes in the tear trough area. I look tired no matter how much makeup I use. If I gain weight, my face looks better, so for the last several years I've had to make the classic choice for a woman my age: either my face looks good or my butt looks good. Finally I found the answer. Juvederm for the under eye area. After having injections of Juvederm... more

“Not Sure Yet!! Bruised and Swollen”

I got injected with juvederm into my above my upper lip 2 days ago and also radiesse into the naso/folds. Currently I feel like a duck. My upper lip is either very swollen or she used to much. I know I only got one syringe of juvederm which my friend said is normal but my lid feels so big! I am severely bruised which I have tried to cover with makeup but to no avail. I am also taking... more

“Totally WORTH IT!”

I went with a girlfriend and we both are so happy with our doctor and results. Here is my experience: My friend initially said she was going to do this, and I said "NO!!!! Don't do it!" I was apprehensive as year ago, I had gone to a well-respected San Diego plastic surgeon for a lip injection, which took him 10 minutes and cost me $500, only for the upper lip. He shot me... more
