Not a Huge Difference

Nope!

Def. a waste of time and money. Whatever minuscule results came from the injection have long disappeared. Did not even last 6 months! By most accounts, I have a shadow and no real crease. What would this do for a real crease then? Crazy. I've found great improvement with derma rolling and collagen supplements. Much cheaper as well!!

Day after
First, I apologize for all of the typos in my first review. What in the world! Now for the morning after details. My eyes were a little sore those morning upon first opening my eyes. I feel a bit of pressure on one side only (left). I'm still on the fence. There is a slight change but for the price, not sure it's worth it. I wanted a dramatic difference. I want NO crease at all like it was prior to my weight loss. There's still a slight crease.
I've visited 2 places and both told me that there wasn't much of a crease. Just a slight shadow. There isn't much to inject in my desired area. How am I to get my desired effect? I really don't want to inject anything in my cheeks as the nurse at Blue Water Spa suggested. I feel like that's just going too far at this stage. Perhaps a second syringe in the same area? I'm torn as I'm horrified by the physical imperfections that are occurring with both age and my weight loss.
I'm scheduled to return this Wednesday to explore options.

I have found better results when I have it placed in my cheeks. I worked for a plastic surgeon for a bit and have had fillers done all different ways. The cheeks seems to keep the lines around my mouth at bay the longest.

Hmmm. That's good to know. Based on my photo do you think a syringe per cheek is sufficient?

I don't know hun, I usually only get one syringe and my lines are pretty deep.

I have had two consults now and was much more pleased with the experience level, training and time the 2nd Dr Jennifer Emmett in Englewood took to explain my many options to address the areas I wanted to address. Actually she explained and showed me how filling out the cheek would address this problem and by just doing the fold is not always recommended or the best practice for every patient.

So I hade one syringe of juvederm injected to my nasal fold. I was told that I needed very little. I would've gladly paid for more to see an extreme difference. Rather, I was told that I should consider filling my cheeks to give lift to the laugh lines. I'm not sure I want to touch my cheeks as I love my bone structure and all. I just wanted the the folds near my nose to be filled in. At this stage (6 hours after injection) I'm not sure it's worth it. I can barely see any change!

Maybe you don't see the difference but I do. It looks good. I was told that if you inject too much it will look funny. But IMHO I don't think it was a waste and I can see the difference.

Thank you. I do see a bit of a difference this morning. Really surprised that I can actually feel it just below the skin.

I had the same experience just yesterday. I went in expecting to have two syringes for my nasal fold and downward creases at the corner of my mouth, only to be told I need only one syringe. And she too recommended one syringe of filler on my cheeks. So I did this and I did not see any immediate results. A day later, I'm feeling down about all this. Two syringes and $1320 later and I still have the lines/creases. She told me it would fill in and I would see results within two weeks.
As I was reading your story, I was hoping you would report happy news at the end of a couple of weeks, but I suppose that didn't happen for you. For what it's worth, I do see an improvement in your after photo. Not a complete removal of the line but an improvement.

I'm sorry that you didn't get the desired result. The minor results for me went away 3 months later! I was thinking that perhaps u should've gone with the cheeks. Hearing your feedback gives me pause now. I'm really upset about this because the lines are distressing. I'm a bit of a perfectionist but I don't want a face full of fillers just to address two slight creases. The hunt continues!

Three months? That's unacceptable. I understand why you're upset, but for whatever it's worth, I think you look great. You're simply wanting to improve on an already nice smile, which is great. But you definitely deserve to get the result you paid for and asked for. So I understand your disappointment. Good luck with whatever you choose to do next. You do look good, though!
