35 Year Old Mother of 2. Went in for Botox and Restylane Injections. Came out with a "Duck Lip." Went Back for Hyuronidase.

I was going in for botox on my forehead and between my eyebrows. And restylane under my eyes and I was considering a bit of a lip filler. The Dr talked me into juvederm instead of restylane. Since then, I have read that u should never put juvederm under the eye. That's what I get for not doing my homework before hand. She put way too much in my upper lip. I definitely had a duck look. It didn't take me long to know that I wanted it gone.
I went back to the same dr to get the hyuronidase injections. It was 9 days after the juvederm. She wasn't charging me to fix it.
I had no idea it was going to hurt so bad. I have a very high pain tolerance but the tears just rolled down my face. She was giving me tiny amounts at a time because it was hurting so bad. She injected about 8 to 10 times. She got the "duck bill" and the biggest part of the lumps and I finally said that's good enough. Some people have asked me if it hurt more than the juvederm injections. It does not even compare. That's like comparing a stubbed toe to a c section.
Now when I look in the mirror I kind of wish I would have roughed it out for like 3 more injections. But it's hardly noticeable.
Overall I am very pleased with the hyuronidase. I just wish I was prepared for the pain.
