Horrible Experience, Juverderm Never Smoothed out Laugh Lines.

  • 27 Jun 2010

I went to a plastic surgeons office with concerns regarding laugh lines. The plastic surgeon quickly advised me to have juverderm injected into these areas in order to smooth the lines out. Since the doctor was not able to do the procedure himself, he a nurse do the procedure. I knew there was a problem due to the nurse continuing to apply pressure on my right side of my face, trying to smooth out this area, even after she had finished the procedure. Once she showed me the results, all she could tell me is that the lumps would eventually go away in the next week or two. After leaving the office, I was only hoping that this was true. Unfortunately, this area never smoothed out and continued to be lumpy. It almost looked like I had several cysts on one side of my face. What a waste of $650.00!

Great review?

My Doctor:

Procedure was horrible. Truly believe that nurse was inexperienced and that doctor should have been supervising her during procedure.

I wwould make sure that the nurse was qualified to inject HA Also do you know what type of Juvederm was used 2, 3 or 4. Hyaluronidase may solve the problem but should be used by a qualified experienced profetional

I wonder if you called and made an appt. to see the Dr? It sounds like the product was injected too superficially and I myself would want this Dr to be aware that the person he has doing the injections is not doing correctly.
