You're probably saying, if I can't see it, then it really doesn't matter if it is there or not. My first question is how many syringes were used. You mention a lot of areas to correct. I would use at least 3 or 4 syringes for this. Any less than this, you will be spreading the filler out too thinly. If someone comes to me and says I want all those areas and can only afford 1 or 2 syringes, I typically will ask which area is most important and fully correct it. The filler is probably not gone, but the changes are so minimal that they are hard to see.
There are people who rapidly metabolize HA. Usually this doesn't occur in a week though. For those people, Radiesse is a good solution, except for the lips.
One other point, I prefer Restylane around the eyes because to me, Juvederm spreads more and the corrections are often less noticeable.
