WORTH IT$260

I noticed that my 30 year old face was looking jaded. Maybe because I am a marathon runner and have run all the youthfulness out of my face. I have been the same weight (130 lbs, 5'9") since I was 18, so it's not due to weight loss, just age. I found a groupon for Juvederm and decided to give it a try. To my sincere happiness, this product is amazing! One syringe was injected into my nasiolabial folds, especially the right side which was deeper from sleeping on that side.
Then the Dr. asked if I'd like some in my top lip to make it match my bottom, and I agreed, although I had never intended to do that. Now I am so glad I did because I love how it looks! Really, walking out of there I feel so pretty and youthful again. I plan to keep this up no matter what other luxuries I must forego, because this makes me feel so much more prettier than perfume, shoes, dresses, etc. This is a must! I feel like myself again, instead of a woman who keeps staring at flaws.

In 2 weeks I go back and may make an adjustment once the swelling goes down if I need to.

Dr. Rafai is wonderful! He looked at the photos I brought him and immediately evaluated the way in which he could help me meet my goals. He not only did that, but he suggested fillingmy upper lip which is soemthing I'd always wanted to do. He and the nurse were both so kind to me, and did not make me buy any more than was needed. He said I could come back in 2 weeks if I needed more, but nothing was pushed on me. He also did my botox. I will be planning to come back again, and I trust Dr. Rafai and the nice employees.

Hey! You mentioned you are a long distance runner, I used to have a chubby Asian face, also 5'9.5 130ish. But in 6 months of running ld I gave myself eye hollows and other hollows all over my face. Any idea how fillers and running mix?

You look amazing. What areas did you get botox? How many units?

I am in the same boat, 33 and starting to hate looking in the mirror. :( your results are so natural looking and exactly on point to bring you back to that youthful glow. Thank you for sharing your story, makes me realize I need to do this too!

Thank you... To answer the questions... I use 20 units between my eyebrows of Botox (I have a review of this on real self too) and 1syringe of juvederm in nasio folds, lip corners and the rest injected into top lip only. Thank you guys for the nice comments!

To clarify....

only 1 syringe was used to do the entire job.. the lips and the nasiolabial folds. My wrinkles were not deep, so not much was needed for the folds. 1 syringe goes a long way on a young face.
