“Looks and Feels Great, BUT LAST 3 WEEKS! In Lips - Utah”

Not good. My injection lasted only 3 weeks and you need at least 2 syringes to get any results; that's pricey! 450.00 for just one! It lasted only 3 weeks and my surgeon wouldn't do a thing about it. They said I was SOL it's not their fault that my body absorbed it so fast and I wanted more result I'd have to pay more. LAME. It wasn't painful to me at all. I called the Juvederm company to ask them why it didn't work for me and they told me that they had NO RESEARCH for it being injected into the lips! So they would do nothing either. No research means unknown results! Big waste of money!

going on 5 weeks now and still trying to get a good experience out of Dr. D. He also did my breast augmentation and I would have had a bad turn out with them as well but I started seeing another surgeon who gave me an altered bra to save the shape of my breasts! My new surgeon gave me very specific massages to do to save the save and restricted what I can wear and ways to even lay because of the implants until the pocket is healed. Dr. D's staff was also very rude about my concerns with my misshaping breasts.

I should've updated this a while back but Dr. Dunkley came through and was fantastic. He did the work to get me a free Juvederm injection to make up for the first. The second worked the way is should have and looked great. He also took a look at my breasts and offered me a great deal on fixing them. He was very generous and knew exactly what needed to be done. I haven't gone in to have the surgery to fix my breasts yet but I will soon. As for the Juvederm; just make sure that you are prepared for no results and know that you may be one of many whom have to receive multiple injections in order to see a result.

I feel that I must clarify- Dr. Dunkley was great. It was one staff in particular that made this experience bad and she specifically caused all of the drama over getting the problem fixed in the first place. When I finally talked to Dunkley himself, he was more than willing and generous to to help make sure I was happy with my results.

Dr. D was great. Very comfortable. Most of his staff, I loved! But one in particular ruined it for me. She was very rude and wasn't conveying my results and concerns about my failed Juvederm to the surgeon correctly and told me I was SOL, too bad I didn't get my money's worth. Also, I paid cash up front and she somehow lost record of my payment for a little while, but found it. Eventually I talked to Dunkley himself to satisfy my expectations and he himself was very generous and kind. He listened and discussed my concern and offered me a deal. He certainly took care of me then. Dunkley was great and have been recommending him ever since! I just hope he eventually fires his staff member that ruined my experience before she ruins his reputation.

what I don't understand is if you had a bad experience with Dunkley and your breast implants, then why did you go back for Juvederm? Just asking.
Thanks Kiera! We appreciate the feedback and thank you for explaining the details. You may want to update the star ratings for Dr. Dunkley as well because it's showing 2 stars. Definitely keep us in the loop of what happens with future injections and your breast revision surgery! The reason I was reading this is because I was interested in getting lip injections but I don't want to waste my money. :/
I am glad to have seen your real-life experience so I can expect it may end up that way.
Look forward to seeing future posts from you!

How long did the Juvaderm last the second time? I had just been injected last month and the results were amazing for the first 3 weeks, and like your story, I am back to my normal size again. I am not happy. Did the second time do the trick for you?
Not worth the money, I spent over 2400 for fills an to fill my lips what I got out of it was bruses an uneven lips...Will never do it again..when I told them an went back they said not much, will not go to them again...save your money for real things in life Elissa in Ca
