My face is gaunt with loss of volume and several marionette lines when I smile. Would juvederm work for this area? I've had restylane in past and it made my skin appear blue and didn't work that well. I'm hoping Juvederm will give a better result. Is one syringe enough (hat is all I can afford at this time.) When I made the appt, I was informed my PS has a nurse do the injections. I trust my PS, but is this ok? Would one syringe be enough for marionette and a little in my lips?
I find that Juvederm and Restylane are more alike than they are dissimilar and both will work well for the Marionette lines you show. Personally, I do not delegate filler injections to my R.N. and although many R.N.s will do a fine job, my patients prefer me to do this for them and it is a service that I am happy to provide. After viewing your photos, it looks like you may benefit more from 2 syringes of these fillers than trying to get by with just one. In such cases, I usually advise my patients to consider Radiesse which comes in a 1.5 cc size, is wonderful for Marionette Lines, and which probably lasts twice as long as the HA fillers. It costs less than two syringes of the HA filler and I think it is a better value for the money. hope that this helps!
I experienced excessive swelling from a Juviderm injection in my face initally about 4-5 years ago. I was only injected in the lower part of my face along the folds but my entire lower face swelled so dramatically I thought my lips would split. Years later on 2 separte occasions I have had similar albeit less severe swelling in the same location for no apparent reason. On both occasions I noticed the swelling upon getting out of bed in the morning.
Juvederm is approved as a dermal filler by the FDA and is allowed to say that it lasts for 1 year. Obviously, some of the product will remain in the tissues longer than this. Nevertheless, I have not personally heard of swelling caused by Juvederm years after the injection. The two events are, in my opinion, likely unrelated although it is impossible to know for sure.
