Juvederm on Marionette Lines...Not Sure? - Scottsdale, AZ

I received my first treatment of Juvederm 2 weeks...

I received my first treatment of Juvederm 2 weeks ago for my Marionette Lines. She used 1/2 a syringe.

Pros: No bruising, and painless! So easy.

Cons: The areas that she injected felt somewhat numb for 2-3 days. The Juvederm she used had a numbing medicine already in it. Could this be why?

Placement: She placed most of the filler at the corners of my mouth as she said she wanted to lift this area (as the corners dropped downward). She said this would help with the Marionette lines. She also put 2 units of botox in the chin muscles to stop the downward pull. I She didn't place filler in the actual "marionette line" though. So my results aren't exactly what I was expecting. After the product settled I can still see the lines. But they are definitely better. And the corners of my mouth look better :) I plan to go back for more.

Great review?

Thanks so much for the pics! Your lips look gorgeous. I am getting Juvaderm in my lips for the first time this week and I am probably a similar colouring to you...you really didn't get any bruising? I'm starting to panic because so many people have written that they have had really bad bruising!

Overall I think it looks really nice. It seems that often times, even with really good injectors, that the area right below the actual marionette line gets a bit overfilled and looks puffy. Kind of like the person has something in their lip. Has that little bit of puffiness stayed at this point, or does the area look smoother now?

I think it looks good, I actually like the swelling and am ususally a bit disappointed that it doesn't stay that way..I do like Juvie though..but I am older..you look pretty young :)

It wasn't Dr. Shapiro who did the injections, it was his nurse practitioner Pat :)
