Juvederm: Stories

Thank you for the kind words. YES I absolutely love my job. I'm very blessed to be in the position I am in. I get to just talk to people, about plastic surgery and skin care all day long.....amazing! Plus, I get to see whole life and body transformations. I have seen miracles and how plastic surgery can change someones life. No sooner that I wrote this post did my lips fade. It's been 10 months and I just noticed that they were gone about 2 weeks ago, so it lasted a long time. Juvederm to the lips is an off label use, so technically they can't advertise or say that it lasts a year. I notice that even with fat transfers to the lips it takes 2-3 transfers to get the desired affect. I think its because we are constantly using our lips to talk, eat and drink. Even something like kissing I'm sure puts pressure on the lips and encourages the product to be absorbed faster than if it were somewhere else. All in all, I loved it, but as soon as I am able, I'm going to for sure do a fat transfer. 10 months even came too fast. I want it like that forever. :)

I noticed that too-Juve was my first filler and it felt like it was gone after a few weeks, I was soooo disappointed!  So I tried the Juve Ultra and felt not much difference and decided to try the Perlane.  That lasts so much longer, it is my primary go to filler,  although everyone processes it differently, I really love it.  Juve is known for its gel like consistency and I think that is what I dont like about it-it makes it feel like it disappears so quick.   There was so much more swelling compared to results after a few weeks w the juve, it added to the disappointment

Oh Bummer. I have tried Perlane at all. We stick with Juvederm, but maybe I will try Perlane sometime. I'm anxious to get the fat transfer done so that hopefully I won't have to have any other fillers anytime within the next few years. Thanks for letting me know about Perlane though, I will have to look into it!
