“Botox, radiesse, & juvaderm to soften fine lines”

Juvederm: NOT worth it

Cost: $4,000
Pain: Uncomfortable
Juvederm satisfaction: Poor1 Star Rating: Poor

I have Botox, Radiesse, & Juvaderm injected in different areas of my face to soften lines and wrinkles.

My forehead and cheeks look good but my lips are huge where the Juvaderm was injected. Is there a reversal procedure?

An enzyme called hyaluronidase (branded hydase or vitrase) will dissolve hyaluronic fillers (juvederm & restylane). However, lots of people have a hypersensitivity reaction to hyaluronidase so make sure you go to an experienced provider and ask for an allergy test in your arm before you let them put near your lips. Also, a large part of your natural tissue is made up of hyaluronic acid and some doctors think that hyaluronidase damages natural tissue as well as dissolving the filler. Ask your doctor about all the risks! Good luck.
