Hey all, I am 28 years old, and I am aging poorly. This is very frustrating because I don't smoke, I try to eat right, and I work out 5 times a week. I have a deep smile line on the right side of my face, on a faint one forming on the left side. I am seriously considering getting a filler (Juvederm, Radiesse, etc.) but I am extremely nervous after reading all of the mixed reviews.My question is: are there any benefits to doing this procedure at a young age? For example, an increased chance of success?

The use of expired medication / fillers is inappropriate. It is not usually common to have any problems when the filler was only 3 months expired. I hope
this is helpful.
