Why: Doctor told me in 3 to 4 days I would be fine and I was swollen and bruised for 2 weeks. It's been 6 weeks and I still look bumpy. Take a look at the picture. I was asked to sign a document acknowledging that the doctor had no Malpractice Insurance. I guess that gives him a license to perform poorly. When I called him to tell him about it, his response was to massage it. I wish it was that simple to make it go away!

Horrible experience. Can't wait to look normal again. I wish I read this website before getting the procedure. Instead of covering a wrinkle on top of my lip, now I have uneven lips (one side fatter), lumps and have been depressed and self-concious since I had it done. Not even makeup covered the bruises and I had them for 2 weeks.

The procedure is painful (4 shots to numb you, 2 on your chicks and 2 inside the lips), expensive and not worth it. I wish I had my old self again.

Now I hear that there is a solution that is inyected to dissolve the lumps (hyaluronidase), but I am concerned that it would give me some more bruises and I already missed work because I was so embarrased to be stared at with my duck mouth.

If I have the hyalunoridase solution inyected, would I bruise again like I did when I had the juveder inyected?

I only had a couple of "cigarrete lines" that I wanted to hide.  Now people stare at me wondering why I paid to look like this!

This experience has made me decide to never try any fillers again.  Not only they are expensive, it's a flip of the coin to get good results and I am not willing to take another chance.

Im too scared to get any fillers, im sorry about your bad experience luckily you will return to normal with time, ive seen a lady with the lip implants and although she was the surgeons wife they looked very natural.
