I agree with most of your comments about Juvederm. I've had a wonderful experience with the product, and personally consider it to be the best hyaluronic filler available. It's been simply wonderful for me and my family over the years.
My only objection, is your superfluous warning about Juvie being dangerous to inject in the orbital rim area. I've never experienced any issues, whatsoever, having my under-eye hollows treated. Neither have I heard of these horrific stories of "blindness" caused by the injections. It sounds as if your doctor is just a bit skittish performing a procedure that he's not comfortable with, thus the attempt to discourage you. Obviously, you wouldn't want someone who's not qualified, like an RN, attempting to inject a filler around your eyes... but any competent PS should easily have the skill and experience to do the job. Personally, I would be leery of any cosmetic surgeon who refuses to perform a routine procedure.
I've had my tear troughs filled for several years, both with Restylane and Juvederm, and the transformation is always wonderful. It makes this 39 year old look 25 again, and I love the fact that the results last considerably longer in that area of the face. I always get a year of youthful volume before needing another injection.
