Guarantee for Juvederm

There are no guarantees in life they say, except for death and taxes. To guarantee the best combination of great results and safety, make sure you're seeing a highly trained physician such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. You may not be satisfied because you didn't have enough Juvederm injected - the most common cause of being unsatisfied. Sometimes a different filler is better for your particular problem, or sometimes other things should be addressed such as with Botox or laser... more

No guarantee

There is no iron-clad guarantee about results because people are all so different and responses vary so much. It may be that getting just "half the treatment" is the cause of your disappointment, and getting the remainder will do the job. If not, you may want to consider a different filler or a different treatment modality altogether, such as laser resurafcing.

Is Juvederm Guaranteed?

No treatment is guaranteed, results are based on your anatomy and what your facial structure allows. There are a few reasons patients may not have seen the results they desire. It is best to go to a skilled injector for the best results.

No Guarantee, but there is an alternative

Unfortunately there is no guarantee that fillers will last. Juvederm is tested to only last up to a year. If you like the result of fillers you might want to think about a more permanent procedure, such as fat transfer. Fat transfer will last up to 10-12 years.

Is Juvederm Guaranteed?

When dealing with the very complex body it is impossible for any physician to guarantee any treatment. In response to your question about the Juvederm treatment it sounds like your physician plans to inject more during your follow-up appointment. This is appropriate for some patients.

Juvederm not guarenteed

No cosmetic treatment carries a guarantee that the patient will like it. You must always be sure that you communicate your wishes to the doctor as I am not sure whether you did not want the full syringe done at one time or whether the physician did not want to do all in one session. I have never saved any juvederm as there is not that much in one syringe to begin with and if doing anything other than a little lip improvement I usually use whole thing. However, circumstances vary and there... more

Is Juvederm Guaranteed?

Not sure what you mean by "guaranteed"? If you have deep folds (naolabial folds) 1/2 of a syringe of a relatively thin, superficially place soft tissue filler like Juvederm (or Restylane) seems too small of a volume to adequate fill in the folds. Perlane (thicker and meant to be placed deeper in te tissues) might be a better choice and depending on how deep these folds are, they may require one syringe per side. Photos would help in the evaluation. more

Is Juvederm guaranteed?

Unfortunately, no reputable doctor can guarantee results. Fortunately, fillers such as restlane and juvederm have high degrees of patient satisfaction, so most are happy. In my hands, about 5% need a touch-up

Deep wrinkles, Juvederm

It seems you have not been fully informed of what fillere can and can not do. Juvederm is not permanent and may last from 3-6 months, and then you have to repeat the injections. If you are expecting the results of a face lift, this not going to happen, and fillers do not replace surgery.

Juvederm Injections

Without seeing you in person or before and after pictures, it is impossible to give you specific advice. Additionally, you do not say how much was injected - it seems like you are saying half a syringe and if that is all that was injected then you should expect a very minimal result. Just because Juvederm and other fillers are sold in single syringes, it does not mean that only one syringe is needed. Some patients need upwards of 3 to 5 syringes. However, it all needs... more

Wrinkles still there after juvederm.

If you still have the deep creases after the injection, it may be to several reasons. You may need to wait longer than 4 days to see full results. Your wrinkle may be too deep for the amount of product put in - you may need more juvederm. It's also possible that it was placed too deep. Deep placement, while safe, usually doesn't last as long and has less effect.

Juvederm isn't "guaranteed"

I am hopeful that you went to a good injector who is board certified, but I'm wary about some of what you posted. I rarely do half a syringe and have people return, particularly if they have deep wrinkle creases, as half a syringe would never be enough to see a difference in that situation. Additionally, it's not recommended to save syringes for patients. Full syringes should be used and discarded, not saved. But your question - is Juvederm guaranteed? The answer is "no".... more
