I had a similar problem and had it done twice. The second time it caused small indents in various places. I should have left it alone. I had injections done to fill in the dents, but, it didn't fill in the dents. It caused pockets of filler in my face where there shouldn't be any filler. It created wrinkles were known existed. That was in December 2003. I still have pockets of filler, dents, more wrinkles around my mouth and lips(that normally would not be there)...in all the places she injected! She was suppose to be an expert, correcting a mistake from someone else(another expert). People have to understand it is a money making business. We live we the damage. They get to keep the money.
I am very sorry about the paralysis.
How long ago did you get it done? The juvederm is my lips on the sides of my mouth. It is also caused folds and line from my nose to my mouth(she missed and made a fold) and lines from my mouth down(aging me dramatically). It is also in the cheeks near my mouth. She really injected a lot into my face. Off course it did not go into the dents at all(just made them more defined. Also,it moves! It also sometimes tingles. I am so disappointed that the doctors do not tell people about the side effects. Everything I read says it goes away. I am living proof that it hasn't gone after seven years!!! Unfortuantely, it is all about arrogance(that they cannot be wrong) and more importantly about MONEY!
HAve you tried anything to stimulate the area?
I not not have paralysis, but, this Juvederm has been in my face now for seven years! It was injected in the lower part of my face and is a mess. I live in Canada, but, if you need any signatures or anything I would gladly help out.
I too am very fustrated that the real truth is not told by the companies and the doctors.
Yes, I had that done before I had Juvederm. I had Restalyne put in prior to that and had the same problem(wuth a different person).
I was told it was the person who injected that was the problem.
It lasted several years.
A plastic surgeon injected
cortisone into the spots. It helped. I went back to get some more. I got small dents that created bad lines. I got the juverderm to build up the dents and the lines around my mouth and lips. It is really a nightmare.
She just made it all worse. The dents are not gone and she missed the folds. I have deep lines now and bumps, and the dents did not fill. She also injected inside my mouth(bumps also inside my mouth). I am going to continue with the baking soda. I started last night. I just don't understand why there aren't any doctors out there telling people it can in some people NOT go away. I am reluctant ot get the
hyaluronidase because of what had happened. I really appreciate the baking soda tip.
I had Juvederm placed around my mouth SEVEN YEARS ago by a well respected injector in the city. I still have horrible lumps that have aged my face tremendously! I will try the baking soda tonight. I hope so much it will help.
Everything I read says it is temporary and will go away. Definitely NOT true. Is there anyone else that has had it for such an extended period of time?
