Definately Worth It - Monterey, CA

I had Juvederm injected for the lines from my eyes...

I had Juvederm injected for the lines from my eyes to the sides of my nose. The day after I was very upset; there was brusing, swelling like they said but I also had bright red spots and lumps everywhere the needle went in. I looked like I had a bad case of acne. It's now been a week to the day and I look fabulous! Really like a mini facelift. The brusing is caused by the Doctor hitting a blood vessel; mine was careful but hit one anyway and it cleared within a week.

Great review?

This Doctor was pretty rough and sloppy with applying creams and cleaning my face; got stuff in my eyes (and I wear contacts.) Also sort of ignored me when talking.

So glad to hear the red lumps cleared up & you are happy with your results! Is this the first injectible filler you have tried?

Yes and I agonized over it for a year before going for it.
