Originally she was supposed to fill my nasolabial folds. Only one was filled (she was supposed to do both) so I had to go back for another. She said she was going to inject it into my cheek to help lift the face. Now I look horrible and I'm upset and embarrassed. I smiled in a way to show you how my cheeks look. Can this be fixed without speeding another 1500 bucks? I'm embarrassed to smile. There are a few lumps. I look like a lumpy chipmunk. My cheeks aren't even with each other anymore.
Answer: Juvederm in cheeks You should wait a bit longer since you are still inflamed and even bruised. So it may improve. If not you can have some hyaluronidase injected to dissolve the Juvederm. In the cheek it is best to put the filler in right on top of the bone to give structure and fullness without being visible. This may be a little too superficial.

Answer: Horrible results? Dear JodyB40,I know you only have only provided one view of your pre-injection smile, but did you notice that your right NL crease is markedly deeper than your left? You also have very different marrionettes, and while your hair is covering your cheeks you likely have some asymmetry there as well. You have a lot of irregularities to your facial contour in your before photo, which is not at all unusual.Palpable lumps and swelling are very common for a couple of weeks after injectables, and the bruise on your left cheek will also effect the way things look early on. I don't think people can adequately judge their results until all of this has had a chance to settle, which can easily take weeks.I actually think you look pretty darned good in the photos you provided. Giving it a few more weeks will let things soften up and allow the swelling to go down. You may indeed need more volume for the best appearance (just fyi in the studies with Voluma the average number of syringes used was 5, and Juvederm packs less of a punch than Voluma). I routinely have new patients return at about a month after their first session to add more if needed and even things up. Patients who have been getting injectables for some time have much better expectations and "Newbies" can really panic, especially with the sticker shock of providing a global correction and the sudden dramatic changes if you were to do a lot at one time. I noticed that you had 4 posts just about your first experience with dysport as well. Not everyone is cut out for this stuff because they just get too anxious. You can either let things settle and add more if necessary to improve on the result, or dissolve it all with some hyaluronidase. I would suggest you look at the injectors before and afters once healed more before you decide to do that, because you might be surprised that it looks better that you thought in their standardized photos. Good luck

Answer: Juvederm filler for cheeks. Swelling and bruising can last for at least one week after Juvederm filler. It can take two weeks to see the full result. If you are still not happy at that time, please return to your injector for assessment. It is important to have fillers injected by an experienced cosmetic dermatologist or plastic surgeon in order to achieve the best possible results.

Answer: Juvederm and bad results It appears that you are very bruised from the injections still and swollen. I would wait another two weeks to re-evaluate the situation. It also appears that the product was placed too superficially. Please consult a board certified dermatologist for the best cosmetic results. In the future, Juvederm Voluma should be injected deep to have nice results. Best, Dr. Green
