Juvederm NIGHTMARE from Midwest Weight Control in St. Cloud, MN

bag free! - Minnesota

You know I did have some headaches. I felt it was from the heaviness under my eyes. Especially in the morning! I don't get that anymore now that the bags are gone. Maybe the juvie is interacting with COPD medication...if you take medication for it. I would also speak with a pharmacist to see if there is any interaction. Good luck :)

Yes Portia, if you look back on my first comments in October and November, I advised to lessen your sodium intake and to drink the required amount of water daily, which is 8-8 oz. glasses. I was taking water pills to take the bags away and felt that wasn't too healthy, so I tried drinking more water...and it worked! Sodium/Salt causes the Juvederm to expand and swell. Glad to see people are actually reading and acting on my advise :) Also, I started sleeping on my back with a couple of pillow's behind my head and back, and it decreased the swelling immensely! I had the Juvederm taken out last month and so far, so good. I still have a very slight amount there, but I am positive it will go away the next time I have that area treated. My dermie actually did two quick pokes. I have heard there is a difference as to if the PS uses a quick technique as opposed to a slow injection technique. All that I know is that her method worked well. Also, make sure to have an allergy test done under your arm prior to having the hyaluronidase to make sure you will not have an allergic reaction to it. Good luck! This has been quite the roller coaster ride. Oh and one last bit of info...make sure to go to an Oculoplastic Surgeon, as they specialize in this specific under eye area :) Keep me posted!!!!! Good Luck!!!!

You betcha :) So happy for you! I never wanted to leave the house without sunglasses my bags were so out of control. Finally, when I went to see my gal over at Belladerm, she was like, I'll take that right out...and indeed she did. I remember always having to look in the mirror prior to getting out of the car, when I woke up, before I left for work, while at work, to see how big they were at that time. I hardly ever look at that area now, because my confidence is back! Yay for you! Congrats!!!!!

I'm sorry Megan, I now see the comments. I did read through them once more. Although, it was not myself that made the posts, I feel that, that particular person should have just received a private message. Just my thoughts :)

Megan, I do not think I would be the one to rally on someone's side if it were unwarranted. I, in no way have seen or participated in rallying other members to sue at any time during this post that would lead you to believe that I were doing so. You can look at my posts and clearly see that. I also haven't seen anyone using this platform on this particular post to get a doctor to do what they wish. Maybe, I will read through them again to see if I do see it. I believe if there is someone that you feel is not making the right statement's to direct your concerns at that particular person(s). Not trying to be mean, but a lot of users (including me) are feeling your comment's are directed toward them. Maybe I'm wrong. Just clearing this up. Also, I never mentioned the PS's name that performed my procedure so neither the concern of rallying, nor platforms/media apply to me. Thank you.
