“Looks good but major reaction to lidocaine or possible infection”
Juvederm: Worth it
Cost: $1,100
Pain: Uncomfortable
Pain: Uncomfortable
Juvederm satisfaction: Fair
I've been having Juvederm for a year now and have liked the results, although they only last about 3 months for me. I got Juvederm on Friday and four hours later I had a terrible golf ball sized lump on my chin that felt sunburned and was itchy. It was worse the next morning. Went back to Dr. and the nurse wasn't sure if it was a bacterial infection or reaction to Lidocaine.
I have to take 5 days of antibiotics now. It's still itching and warm the touch. Not thrilled.

As a practitioner in England these experiences are invaluable to read; they give a wide range of feedback from patients and provide evidence to base results of a treatment which helps in consultation to new patients.
