I'm 41, had Juvederm injected into tear trough...
- 24 Aug 2012
I'm 41, had Juvederm injected into tear trough area today for volume loss due to the relentless ageing process :) There was minimal discomfort during the procedure.
So far, the result is subtle, there is some minor bruising on left side (I do bruise easily), with some concealer it is completely imperceptible. Have a follow in scheduled in 10- 14 days to check the results and possible top up if needed. Costs for these procedures seems to be considerably cheaper than the US.
Great review?

Wow you aren't kidding about being cheaper! Juve in the US runs anywhere from 350-550 in my experience. I am surprised that you still have restylane from 4 years ago, it will be interesting to see how long your Juve lasts since your body keeps your filler for a good amount of time.
That's so interesting. Are cosmetic procedures quite common there? It seems like a very common thing here in Scottsdale, you see grandmas getting fillers, botox, breast implants...!
I've previously had Restalyne injected into my crimple lines (used to be dimples). Result was good,lines dissapeared, however, I didn't like the feeling- putty in my cheeks and felt weird. This was done about 4 years ago, haven't repeated the procedure, however there is still some residual Restalyne left in crimple lines, they are softer. The lines were minimal, would rather save up for a face lift, despite not needing one just yet.
Sorry to hear you were having a hard time replying. I'm glad you were able to get it to go through.
That is interesting that you found the filler in your dimple area to be less agreeable than in your under eyes. I would have guessed it would have been the opposite, with the under eye area seeming so sensitive. I'm glad you tested it out & found that you like it. :)
Its sounding like all went well with your tear trough injections - glad to hear that! Have you ever had filler done elsewhere, or was this your first experience with it?
