I Have Started Self Injecting Juvederm Ultra 4 What Precautions Should I Take?

     You may be tempted to inject yourself with fillers or Botox, but I would not recommend injecting yourself.  Injections can cause a number of problems if not injected precisely besides the obvious cosmetic problems.  If these problems occur, you would need immediate treatment to prevent or ameliorate some devastating consequences.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

This is a very bad idea for a number of reasons.It is illegal to buy medicine if you are not a doctor or pharmacy.  Every week we get a fax in the office about a "Canadian" pharmacy that wants to sell us Juvederm at half price. We don't know where the Juvederm is coming from, or what is in it. There have been numerous cases of counterfeit injectables harming people.If there is an issue, who will back it up? If it is from Allergan, they will work to help resolve the issue. A few years ago, we had a three patients that the Botox did not work in. Turns out the box was left on the loading dock too long. Allergan sent us new Botox, and all worked out well.As far as injecting your self is concerned, another really bad idea. To do injectables correctly, one needs a knowledge base of anatomy and proper training. Juverderm is very safe, but it can cause trouble if injected in the wrong space. This is the wrong place for a DIY project. Cheap can become expensive really fast. Please see a legitimate, well trained, experienced injector.           

A Doctor Who Operates On Himself Has A Fool For His Surgeon is the corollary to: A Lawyer Who Represents Himself in Court has a Fool for His Attorney. Both o these maxims involve highly trained persons. Just imagine how bad it would be if they were not.

THIS IS JUST WHAT YOU ARE DOING ! 

Not to mention practicing medicine without a license which is illegal in all States in the US. It is downright dangerous and you are highly likely to have complications too numerous to list.  It just isn't worth it.
