“Nightmare juvederm fillers left me looking like a duck”
Juvederm: NOT worth it
Cost: $1,000
Pain: Severe
Pain: Severe
Juvederm satisfaction: Poor
I do not recommend my Juvederm provider: Sign in or join to view provider name
Why: He told me the swelling would be gone in 3 to 4 days and that I wouldn't look like a duck. I still look like one and it's been 6 weeks. Bruising is terrible and impossible to hide with makeup.
Just wanted to hide a few wrinkles around my mouth and end up looking like a duck.
It was painful, the bruises lasted for 2 weeks and it was expensive. All that would be okay if I look better than before, but I look worse! I am very self-concious and depressed about it.
Never again!

I did it to hide a few wrinkles. Juvederm is the wrong thing for it.

I am including a picture that was taken before the procedure and pointing with arrows at the wrinkle that I wanted to hide. I looked better before without a doubt!

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?

{edited} is the name of the doctor that injected 2 syringes. I can't wait to look normal again. It's been 7 weeks and still looks awful.

I know he injected too much, I guess he was only interested in charging me as much as he could.How long does it last before it's all gone? I would like to see your results if you don't mind.

Sure I can show u results of my face but I ain't gonna post here for the world to see. :) send request to petrovak1982@hotmail.com and 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?

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.
