“I look like a juvederm bulldog”
Juvederm: NOT worth it
Pain: Painfree
Oh no no no, will never do this again. Had Juvederm injected for my nasolabia folds and then for lines around the corner of my mouth like this ( )...oh my now I look like Steven Tyler from Aerosmith...too much excess around the mouth my jowls look worse and I look older and too boot the wrinkles are still there...I had awful brusing couldn't cover it completely with make up.. Husband said I look like I had five O'clock shadow..so this bearded lady had to go out to a business dinner like this and no one could figure out what was wrong with me..I was so embarrassed I asked my husband if it would be okay if I told them he wacked me..he said absolutely not I got myself into this mess he wants no part of it. So I am praying and hoping that when the swelling and brusing go down I will have less jowls and my skin won't be permenately stretched out. I feel the juvederm under my skin it feels hard. I hate it!!!

Just had juvederm and I also have bad bruising, swelling and looked like Marge simpson - It has been 2 days and I still look like I got beat up - just wondering how long it took you to look better if it ever happened. Thanks for replying if you can. I am a little freaked out.

I had juvederm plus in my upper lip and mouth corners 2 weeks ago and I'm still not a fan thus far. I had bad brusing inside my lips and on one above my lip and bad swelling/and noticeable lumps on one side of my upper lip. The bruising went down in about a week, but 2 weeks in, it still feels kind of stiff in my upper lip and hurts some to try to pucker/attempt to whistle. I'm told by the doctor that it can sometimes take several weeks for it to loosen and not feel stiff/etc. Does anyone else have any updates on how long it takes to have your lips feel "normal" again?

I have the same mouth jowls after 3 weeks... I was thinking last night how much I look like Steven Tyler and now I miss my old face. I said it before after my botox nightmare, and now this, I obviously am not meant for injectables.

I was terribly bruised around my mouth for 6 days - looked like I had gone a few rounds in the ring. I am still not sure, 3 weeks later, if I think it was worth it. There are some small hard lumps under my skin that seem like blemishes but I don't think they are - they are a little pink as well. They run along my nasolabial folds where the juvederm went so I assume it's the filler. My upper lip is a little more plump - in an appropriate way. The difference is kind of subtle as I only had 1-1/2 vials injected (due to financial constraints). I think it's made an improvement.
