Hi, I have had now Botox (forehead) and Juveriderm ultra 2 Units on nasal folds and cheek bone area and Juviderm voluma on lines surrounding my mouth area. This was done 6 weeks ago and cost me $2,500 dollars. I see no difference of if any by the botox only and my lips are a little fuller.

What went wrong and after spending that kind of money, shouldn't I of expected something better?
