I had juvederm injected on my nasolabial folds and some on my chin and I think it may have actually made the problem worse. I have attached photos for reference. I'm very dissapointed that something so expensive did not work at all. I have an otherwise youthful looking face but these smile lines are pesky. What do you suggest to get rid of them once and for all?

Answer: Improving Nasolabial Folds- Lasers. Fraxel/Clear + Brilliant, RF like VIVA, Peels, Fillers, Skin Care, Face Lift, Fat A combination approach will give the most improvement. I recommend fillers for the folds themselves but also lifting around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, rf treatments, J Plasma and peels to get the most conservative natural look. Please see a facial sculpting expert.

Answer: Juvederm didn't help with nasolabial folds/smile lines. What now? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. It is difficult without knowing your goals and "before" image how Juvederm worked within your tissues. Typically if patients do not see an effect it is the result of insufficient material, most patients requiring at least a full 1cc syringe per side. I would revisit your surgeon for an in-person examination to discuss your current outcome and ways to maximize it. Hope this helps.
