$600
So I hade one syringe of juvederm injected to my nasal fold. I was told that I needed very little. I would've gladly paid for more to see an extreme difference. Rather, I was told that I should consider filling my cheeks to give lift to the laugh lines. I'm not sure I want to touch my cheeks as I love my bone structure and all. I just wanted the the folds near my nose to be filled in. At this stage (6 hours after injection) I'm not sure it's worth it. I can barely see any change!

Day after
First, I apologize for all of the typos in my first review. What in the world! Now for the morning after details. My eyes were a little sore those morning upon first opening my eyes. I feel a bit of pressure on one side only (left). I'm still on the fence. There is a slight change but for the price, not sure it's worth it. I wanted a dramatic difference. I want NO crease at all like it was prior to my weight loss. There's still a slight crease.
I've visited 2 places and both told me that there wasn't much of a crease. Just a slight shadow. There isn't much to inject in my desired area. How am I to get my desired effect? I really don't want to inject anything in my cheeks as the nurse at Blue Water Spa suggested. I feel like that's just going too far at this stage. Perhaps a second syringe in the same area? I'm torn as I'm horrified by the physical imperfections that are occurring with both age and my weight loss.
I'm scheduled to return this Wednesday to explore options.

I have found better results when I have it placed in my cheeks. I worked for a plastic surgeon for a bit and have had fillers done all different ways. The cheeks seems to keep the lines around my mouth at bay the longest.

Hmmm. That's good to know. Based on my photo do you think a syringe per cheek is sufficient?

I don't know hun, I usually only get one syringe and my lines are pretty deep.

I have had two consults now and was much more pleased with the experience level, training and time the 2nd Dr Jennifer Emmett in Englewood took to explain my many options to address the areas I wanted to address. Actually she explained and showed me how filling out the cheek would address this problem and by just doing the fold is not always recommended or the best practice for every patient.

Nope!
Def. a waste of time and money. Whatever minuscule results came from the injection have long disappeared. Did not even last 6 months! By most accounts, I have a shadow and no real crease. What would this do for a real crease then? Crazy. I've found great improvement with derma rolling and collagen supplements. Much cheaper as well!!

Thanks for the update. Yeah I'm kinda done with botox. I was going to try juvaderm but you have changed my mind. I think I'm going to do laser and dermarolling.

I really wanted it to work out but it's not worth the money. Derma rolling has helped to plump my skin all over followed by a vitamin c serum. The collagen supplements has helped with firming my skin overall.

I need to check I to dermarolling. Do you go to a dermatologist, also what serum do you use? I use retin a and I think it helps too as well as a clarisonic brush to cleanse my skin. Thanks for your help. These drs will tell us anything and juvaderm is NOT cheap.

True! The results if any aren't lasting either. 2-3 months is not worth the cost. I bought my own derma roller from amazon it's a white and purple one I don't recall the brand of size but it's the #1 roller on the site and a vitamin c serum from "skin obsession". The roller really helps to drive the product deeper into the skin. Also, the roller agitates the skin just enough to make it want to repair itself thus creating faster cell turn over.
