It's been 2 years and I think all the Juvederm is gone. My lips are still plumper than they were to begin with but I don't feel and product in there. I think it's natural collagen that was produced from the Juvederm. Anyway, it was a good experience over all and I might do it again in the future just to slightly lift the top lip.
If you are considering getting this done , I would only use someone with an excellent reputation and that you have seen others who have received injections from him/her.
You only have one face. :)

Ugh I think maybe I was just in a weird lighting and that crease was already there to begin with. I'm not really sure. My advice is to not obsess in the mirror and self pics! Lol. Obviously, I wasn't perfect before or I wouldn't have even wanted juvederm in the first place. And my lips really do look good. I think since I no longer obsess over the thinness of my lips, I've found something new to obsess over. Ugh! Vanity! And I'm definitely NOT going to get vitrase after reading all the horrible experiences on the site.

Just read your update- I can totally relate to over-obsessing after a procedure/treatment!  I think we all can.  So you think you will get them done again in the future or are you still unsure?

I'm still unsure. I mean, I love the lips. I really had not intended to get anything more besides lips done so I'm hoping this new nasolabial crease will soften once the juvederm in my lips dissolves. If not, I may need to look into getting filler on the one side as only the left side has the crease. I don't see any creases when I look straight on but if I move my mouth or talk, the crease is pretty obvious, at least to me. It definitely was not there prior to my lip injection. I need to stop obsessing and just let it be. I'm going to let it dissolve over time and see if there's any improvement with that smile line. If there is, then I probably won't get it done again. I may hold off a few more years and then do it again but this time also get filler in the smile line. I only have one. The other side is smooth. So strange!

I read on another review that someone used one of those Clarisonic facial washer devices to massage the filler and it helped it to sort of smooth out.  Maybe that is worth a try.  Either way I hope you can stop obsessing- I know how hard that is!

Ok so it's been about 2 and a half months now, and I still have some good amount of filler in my lips. My lips look great, BUT, I won't be doing this again. I've noticed that due to the filler, the area around my mouth has begun to retain water. I believe that's due to the HA attracting water and what not. Anyway, since there is a bit of water retention, it now looks as if I have deep parenthesis around my mouth that were NOT there 2 months ago. I don't care what any Dr says, I know it is a result of the filler. Nobody suddenly grows laugh lines in 2 months out of nowhere. So, I'm going back to my PA to show him and ask him if he thinks it's best that I just let the filler naturally dissolve, or if he should dissolve it for me. I guess I'll just have to stick with thin lips because I'd rather have that than wrinkles around my mouth.
I feel like I've aged 5 years in 2 months.:( Definitely never touching my face again except for skin treatments like facials or microdermabrasion. Ugh! I'm crossing my fingers I go back to normal.
