Why did the Juvederm Ultra Plus add volume to my nasolabial folds and not soften them like the doctor said it would?

Asked By:BlueEyes0000 in New Haven, CT

I went in for nasolabial filler last week and i got talked into juvederm ultra plus. He injected it next to my nose and down to the sides of my upper lip. And now there's a mound of filler next to my nose and the nasolabial lines look worse and just volumized up. Theres also a lump on the inner side of the fold sticking out. I'm planning on getting it reversed on monday with hyaluronidase. Why wasn't I told this would happen BEFORE the procedure? Do i have the right to demand a full refund?
