“Nightmare Juvederm Fillers Left Me Looking Like a Duck”

I am so sorry. Who is this nut? I think we paying customers have the right to know who is doing this so that we can avoid them at all costs! How many syringes did he use?

TWO syringes? in this area? were they 0.8 mL each? that is unreal! i use ONE syringe for my whole entire face and i come out looking youthful and natural!

Sure I can show u results of my face but I ain't gonna post here for the world to see. :) i can forward you a pic from my email account. the best Juve practitioners are those who understand how conservative one must be with this product. one dr. (she is in TX now and i was so sad to see her leave my city) was very, very VERY conservative and cautious. she used about 1/2 syringe on both my NL folds combined,also put some in my cheek, and saved the rst for touchups later. i was totally gorgeous by the time she got finished with me. i also got rave reviews about how good i looked that night, but i did not tell anybody what i did. just that i looked so "young" all of a sudden. No swelling or bruising. the results were immediate. It would be worth driving to TX every 6 - 9 months just to let her inject you. btw what is your age?

Would like to have names of doctors in palm beach area that are conservative. What doctor did this to you?

do you have any before pics? Juve 24 is not the thing to hide mild wrinkles. Juve 24, 30, and other high viscous HA products are optimal for deep wrinkles, folds, depressions for giving lift. There are less viscous HA products that are good for light wrinkles that are injected very close to the epidermis that Juvederm also offers.

Once every couple of years a I get some filler in my lips. Still I have full lips but with age they have fade a bit. This is the first time I got juverderm (almost 6 months ago) and I must say I can't wait for it to go away. The same duck effect. I have got Restylane before with very positive results. For some reason Juverderm tends to deform my mouth. Lots of bruising as well (never bruised before). There is a chance that the doctor that applied Juverderm was not skilled at it as well.

Juve is wonderful product. The doctor can literally make you or break you.

I had it done on Tuesday. I was told that I could go back to work. YEAHHH right!!! I was swollen and bruised and immediately did not like the results. I got it, for very small lines around the top and bottom of my lips...not really necessary. I have black and blues all over and around the sides of my mouth. One side looks fatter than the other above my lip..Today is day 3...I regret ever doing it as I know feel like I look like Holmer Simpson with duck lips...not good! I pray that the swelling evens out otherwise I will have one side fuller than the other. It last a year...ohhh boyy better think twice before you mess with your already pretty face!!!

I think there is something they can inject to make the juvederm dissolve more quickly...ask a reputable doctor about it...I unfortunately got too much Radiesse,,,and I just have to wait it out. :(

There ought to be something available to compensate people for being sold garbage that does not work. What a shame Most of what is offered at spas and with plastic surgery do not work at best or ruing you life. Look at Joan Rivers face. Nightmare

My doctor was also very unskilled, though she told me that "people come to me to correct their lips done by other physicians." Wow, I can't believe how bad those people must have bad to look to go to her for the fix. What she did is nothing short of deforming my mouth. Instead of focusing on lips, she tried to widen my smile (injecting around it), and build out my top lip like a horse. Im so depressed Im considering taking a leave of absence from my masters program because I can't focus. 2 months now and I have giant uneven parentheses on both sides of my mouth ( ( --- ) ) that are raised higher than my lips. Most of the good effect of the Juvederm went away in the lips, and thankfully some of the horsiness when I tried to dissolve this stufff (twice). It never took away the big problem though - the sides of my mouth. Don't buy the lie that they sell on this site that Juvederm is "easily" remedied by injecting hyaluronidase. It doesnt always work, even after multiple tries, and you can't keep doing it because it can cause damage to tissues. So after 2 tries I'm stuck and marking my calendar for sometime in April when maybe the clouds will clear and I can see my old smile again. And like you, my swelling persists after 2 months. Face is completely swollen in the morning, and then more hanging, spongey, and tacky feeling skin after a couple hours. I can literally pull about an my skin out from either side of my face It does NOT go away. Thats another lie they tell you ... "3 to 4 days" of swelling. It's just not true. The bruising, went away in 2 weeks, but not the swelling. I dont doubt it will last as long as the juvederm is there. Hang in there and keep us posted on your progress. I'm glad there is a forum here to allow the truth to at least be told, because you ask a plastic surgeon, and they tell you that you are over-reacting and too hard on your appearance, act like they dont see it, or that you always looked like this and just didnt notice your face "fell" like thus. All these things I've been told. Give me a break. It's time for them to take some responsibility for the outcome with their patients.

I meant to say above .. i can literally pull an INCH of skin out from either side of my face with this swelling. Its not pretty.

Aww. :( I can imagine how upset you are. Hope you sue this doctor. It's hard to wait..But it will go down eventually.

The bruising should have gone away in a few days it is a painful procedure in your lips I know. I'm sorry you had a bad experience I wish you well. I like the duck lip actually that is what I wanted. Very expensive I have to admit. I wouldn't do it again without dental block!
