“Dissapointing and expensive”

Juvederm: NOT worth it

Cost: $2,000
Pain: Mild
Juvederm satisfaction: Fair2 Star Rating: Fair

This was my first experience wiht any type of cosmetic "enhancements", I was aging incredibly well, until some severe stress over the last few years and all of a sudden within 1 year I had marionette lines on the corners of my mouth and lines at the sides as well as the nasolabial folds. I will be 43 in a few days. The first treatment was on August 21, and this is already fading. I went back for another treatment on September 4th, for a grand total of about 2000.00 - the Surgeon said I was not a good candidate for a full face lift, too young and suggested the fillers.

While the Juvederm PLUS looks ok now-its fading fast and no way will last 6-9months. Unless you are very rich-this is NOT the way to go.

Right now I am researching the "mid-face" lift, which is not as extensive or invasive as a full face lift, my neck is fine! So My suggestion is to SAVE your money and get surgery, by someone good!
2000 every 9 months-NO WAY that would be a surgical face lift in 2-3 visits. I think this is an incredible scam-the Botox however worked just fine(MUCH CHEAPER!)

2,000??? How much did you get?? Because that price seems way out of line compared to the prices in NC. I hate to say this.....but, I think your doctor ripped you off by charging you that much.
