My Juvederm wasn't bad, it was even, not too much...
My Juvederm wasn't bad, it was even, not too much and administered well. I had 0.2ml in my top lip and 0.2ml Smile in the lower lip. However, I felt it fundamentally changed my face, my top lip was a totally different shape and I wanted something far more subtle than was actually achieved. I was so undecided as to wether I should leave it to go naturally but desperately wish I'd never done it in the first place, so researched Hyaluronidase.
After my initial fillers I had time off work as I swelled up huge straight after the procedure, everyone who saw me noticed and I was mortified. It was meant to be very subtle, but I was really upset. The original injector would not reverse the procedure as felt I may have an allergic reaction and warned me off Hyaluronidase. She told me to wait 2 weeks before even thinking about having it dissolved. All of my swelling was down after 6 days but she insisted it would still go down and I was still very unhappy.
Seeking a second opinion, I went to an amazing doctor, who consulted me on the same day and I decided to have the Juvederm dissolved. She assured me my swelling was down (day 6 post original fillers). There are minimal risks, and I went ahead with it. I could not be happier with the results!
Warning: it is one of the most painful things I have ever done. It stings and hurts far more than the original lip fillers. It was almost unbearable. Straight after my lip swelled even bigger than before, so I was really scared, but I sat immediately (as advised by the doctor) with an ice pack on my lip, and after 15 minutes it was down significantly. The following day my lip was back to normal 100% Juvederm free. My original filler was injected into the lip surface, and Dr Olver dissolved it from under the lip, I had 2 big bruises afterwards, one visible on my lip slightly and I bruised above my lip a tiny bit. This was all worth it to be back to my normal self! The bruising was gone in 4 days. I am happy again.
I am not adverse to cosmetic surgery, I have had rhinoplasty before and am all for self improvement. My warning to young women, if you want subtle results people won't notice, Juvederm is not for you, be happy with what you have and take your time, it was a very painful and very expensive mistake to make! However, I was so lucky I was able to have it reversed. Always go to someone who is fully qualified and ask to see exactly what they are putting in your lips (I took the label.)
I couldn't find a lot about Hyaluronidase online so I hope this helps anyone who is in doubt. There are risks with anything, and for me this paid off, I wish I'd never had lip fillers in the beginning!

She was patient, kind and understanding. Dr Olver made me feel 100% confident in the procedure and advised me very well on the pros and cons. She administered it well and I had perfect results.
