Hi Ladies,
I had the filler, Juvederm injected in my lips. I went to a very qualified plastic surgeon (Stanford & Harvard trained) I looked good for about two weeks then the filler quickly disappeared. After 4 weeks, my lips were back to the size they were before the procedure. I called the maker Allergan to complain. The Rep. said Juvederm was not tested on lips, only the nasal-labial folds on the face, so it's an "off label" use. In other words, Tough Luck! I wasted $700. :(

The doctor is great. it was not his fault that the procedure did not last very long. I did say I wanted something permanent for my lips to make them fuller. I found out later about Permalip by Surgisil, which is permanent. The doctor did not mention this product. Uhmm. He is a plastic surgeon and does not know about this permanent solution to make your lips fuller?

I attended a seminar by Dr. Yeh and he showed slides of outcomes of plastic surgery of the face. I went to his office for Juvederm filler to fill my thinning lips. I don't have an issue with Dr. Yeh, but I do have an issue with Juvederm. This product does not last very long and I now have permanent purple discoloration just below my skin at the injection sites, just inside the lip margin. The procedure was done 4 years ago, and the discoloration have developed over time.
