I just had my second round (a 3-month "touchup") with Juvederm for my nasolabial folds and upper lip. I was able to apply makeup over the two tiny pin-prick bruises on nasolabial folds, and have a couple of tiny bruises on the inside of my lip, easily covered with lipstick. Honestly, I am almost 40 but I look 30. I am thin because I work out a lot, so my nasolabial folds had really begun to age me even though I was wrinkle free and have clear, toned facial skin otherwise. I figure $800+ or so once a year is well worth the ten years this takes off my face, and the confidence it restores is priceless. It lets me stay pretty for a bit longer... After all that I've read I am positive that my great results are because of the doctor I chose - a plastic surgeon - and I must reiterate what others have said with regard to that. It's all about the injector and his/her expertise and patience. Slow and steady keeps bruising and lumps at bay. Good luck!

Thanks, Tentative. I'm glad it's anonymous because being blunt is the best way to be with these sorts of things. I am 40 and have also lived my life being beautiful. I believe that having been beautiful makes it much harder to and painful to age...Which is why I took the plunge. I will continue to take the plunge too - until I can't anymore.
