I have had Juvederm (twice) and Botox (6 times). The key is to go to a VERY skilled Dr. and address your concerns. I went to a referred Dr. and had Juvederm. One vial in the lines on each side of my nose. It was WONDERFUL. Then 1 1/2 years later I went to a different doctor at a spa I usually go to for massages. She was running a coupon and I took the bait. This place is one of the nicest spas in our area and not cheap. The Doctor has her new Medical Spa attached to the hair salon and spa. I paid $550 and she injected me parallel instead of in my the lines. It did soften the area a little. What I wanted was the shadowing 1 inch below my nose on the side which is a very common area. She claimed that she could not get close to the nose due to hitting a vein and that Allergan suggested this technique. I don't know if this is true. Then I paid for 25 Units of Botox ($300) and she did not put it equally on each side which caused one eyebrow to be higher than the other. SO....make sure you go to a reputable Doctor. I just wasted $850 with the doctor and I can't get the Juvederm for another year.

If you have deep set eyes and deep lines in your forehead be careful. They can soften the lines a little. Not too much or you will have a smooth forehead and heavy eyebrows. The doctor can inject the botox at the arch and ends of your eyebrows for a lift. I truly believe this is a science. You need someone that knows the muscles and it an artist with the face.

I go back to my trusted Dr and will never leave him again for a cheaper Doctor with a coupon. I see him in 2 weeks for botox. He is a GREAT plastic surgeon too, Dr. Evan Sorokin in Cherry Hill, NJ. He also does injections. Dr. Sorokin documents where he injects so you can say what worked and where you might want more/less the next time. This way he can give you exactly what you want every time. These products can be amazing if injected properly! That is the KEY. Everyone wants your money, so get a referral by looking at a friend or actual work they have done in a book.

I had the same experience. I wanted to soften my marionette lines. My previous Dr. injected directly into the lines. ( which was great)This new Dr. Gave a liquid face lift, meaning he only injected around my cheeks, to a tune of 2,000. ( double of what I normally spend.) my marionette lines, and everything else remained unchanged. I cried at the wasted money and no results. I ended up complaining to the office, the Dr. redid the injection directly into my lines and I achieved what I wanted. So if you are unhappy, don't be afraid to complain. I took before and after pics and it was evident nothing had changed.

Thank you! I did go back and she put a little more in the line but it was not close to my nose, once again. Giving me a chipmunk effect. It was a total waste of $750.00. I am still waiting for the juvederm to go away. My lines were not bad before either. My first experience my doctor only needed 3/4 of a vial. The second terrible experience at the "Medical Spa" she used a whole vial. 10 months later, I now have an appt in April to get it done by Delaware Valley Plastic Surgery with Dr. Sorokin in Cherry Hill. I will only go to him from now on. After my last experience at the medical spa-never again. You need to go to someone you trust. Dr. Sorokin is a board certified plastic surgeon and I trust him. He even runs specials. The staff is great and I can't say enough positive things about him.
