I had juvederm 4 filler for the first time. The reputable surgeon suggested that he would put the filler in the area of the Nasolabial folds & advised this would help with volume in the hollow of cheek. My issue is that as soon as i looked in the mirror after treatment, i noticed vertical bumps/lines from my nose to mouth (i don't smoke but the smoker lines), which is not the site that was injected. I didn't have any upper lip lines but now do, more on the side with the most filler.
