I had been feeling depressed about how my face has been changing for the worse, and I unwisely decided to have Juvederm Volbella fillers done to try and restore some youthfulness to my face. It's been a month since the procedure, and I've had swelling, pain on and off again and a recurring lump at the injection site. The procedure was done by a qualified doctor with excellent reviews, but my result has not been good. It's probably my biggest regret. I've been thinking about having it dissolved, but I'm terrified of having my face injected again. I'm more depressed now than before, and I'm worried about the long-term effects on my skin. If you're considering it, I strongly advise against it, be happy with your real self instead of miserable with a fake version of yourself.

Hi--I saw your question about dissolving Restylane under your eyes. I'm having similar issues and trying to decide if I should dissolve or wait it out. I'm miserable with the filler but afraid of Hyaluronidase. What did you end up doing and how did it go?Thank you!

Terrible, Unnatural Results

pixief12

I had Juvederm in my tear troughs several months ago, from the beginning it looked bad but I hoped it would settle down. It never did, and now I look so much worse than before. I'm going to another clinic to have it dissolved but I fear a fair amount of damage has already been done. I was left with weird pointy cheekbones, bags which looked worse than before and terrible self esteem, I don't want to go out and see anyone anymore. I strongly recommend another provider, or better yet don't have it done at all, that's what I wish I'd done.

I had the same experience. Unfortunately I panicked and jumped into eyelid surgery...fillers are terrible when done incorrectly..
