Juvederm in Folds (Age 52) - A Dentist Did Mine - Beavercreek, OH

I would like to say I and totally happy but the jury is still out. I chose a dentist because he numbs the area first so it was painless. He seemed to think my folds were extreme (I am only 52) especially on one side. He put 2 vials on that side! I look at it after 3 weeks now and it still is entirely too much. There are 2 lumps in the area. He put in less on the other side 1 and 1/4 That side looks and feels great. I believe he put in one vial too many on my face!

On my follow up he said he thought it looked just fine. He also said since I had a bit more than usual on that side to wait another week or so and the lump should be gone.

Now for the overall. I love and hate it. While I no longer have those folds(Woo Hoo) It looks like the space between my nose and top lip is pulled almost like a lioness. As though it was ironed. Honestly. I hope that also will go away.

Lastly when people see me now they say something is different about me. I look younger. When I tell them they all think it foolish to spend so much money. I agree that 3 plus teeny vials injected into the face for 10 minutes total for $1250 is ridiculous and I am sure the price will come down once doctors and drug companies see the high price is a deterent to people.

Ok I was asked to update. It has been 9 months since I had it done and I do not think it was worth it at all. Everyone I told looked at me blankly. No "oh you look great" or "where did you get it done" Not even ONE!! No one would even lie! LOL I was told that what was being said was they saw no difference and I was robbed of that money.

I have been using colorstay foundation the last couple of weeks and NOW I am being told how beautiful I look!

I have been getting email from the dentist, of course I will not be repeating the treatment. I think I might try getting a chemical peel if I get anything else done.

I am always for doing whatever you want to do. Perhaps it will work out better for you.
