Thanks, sorry I have been away for a bit!  So what did you choose?  Anyways, the Perlane is more cost effective for me because my body doesn't process it as fast as the Juve. Plus since the Juve is known for its gel like consistency I feel like the you give up some of the volume in return. You know, that "umph" you get the first week after you have the filler lol?  The Perlane may feel a tad firmer but keeps the volume and for much longer for me.  It has become my all purpose filler! I use it in lips, nasal folds, bridge of nose, and recently a tiny bit in my chin (to balance it out from an old injury) .  Everyone has there own preference though-depends on what works for you and what you and your doctor think gives you the optimum results.

Thanks! How has the swelling settled?  I was just noticing on myself that a year post op I look so much smaller!  Haha I know we get used to the size and all but I am totally with you on the swollen look-I wish I could just keep it!  You were lucky to get gels and have them under the muscle though-I hope to do that next time.  I feel like unders don't appear to get as much shrinkage as overs.

Yes, they were FDA approved last year.  

Wow, sorry to hear you didn't see results.  It should have ceased slightly after a few treatments - did you ask the laser technician about it?

Sorry you had a shaky experience with your filler.  Unfortunately there are med spas like this all over but there are good ones too so don't let it ruin it for you.  Med spas typically are cheaper too - around here in Az I see 350-500 in them.  The same goes for drs as far as mixed skill levels- some are phenomenal but you also hear of unhappy stories getting injected from drs.  You can know the facial muscles but not have the best "artistic eye".  A good thing about some drs too is that some will bank your syringe for a certain amount of time so you don't have to use it all at once.
