WORTH IT$375
I am 39 and have noticed significant aging due to exaggerated smile lines (not marionette or nasal fold lines). I was told by a prior injector that they couldn't be helped. My current injector threaded Juvaderm horizontally in my cheek area (1 syringe) and I absolutely love the result. I could stand one more syringe, but we decided to act conservatively to start. In 6 months, I will add some more for an even better result. Definitely recommend.

May I ask which doctor you saw? I am new to the Phoenix area, and I am looking for a skilled injector. I loved the doctor that I had in New York, but unfortunately it is unrealistic for me to travel back and forth right now.

Yes...I have been going to Vitality Med Spa in Peoria, however they have a location in Scottsdale and Mesa as well. Their prices are great and the Doctor is based out of Scottsdale. They just did my lips which turned out really great (after 4 days of swelling) and I go regularly to them for Botox as well (only $6.00 per unit). Good luck!

SO GLAD I waited to see my Juvederm injection swelling come down.
I had my upper lip lines and upper lip filled with Juvederm 4 days ago. I was MORTIFIED at what I thought was overfill, but now, 4 days later, it looks almost perfect. My upper lip was 3 times the size of my lower lip and bruised. My advice is to wait at least a week before panicking about any Juvederm injection. I had scheduled the antidote to be injected tomorrow to get rid of it all.....but I'm actually loving it! Be patient!

Good advice, thank you for sharing! Love to see before/after lip pics too!
How much Juvederm did you get?

I had 1 syringe of Juvederm (which is a bit much). In the future, I would do half on top, half below--but I'm satisfied with my result and it doesn't look strange now. Will post a pic in a few more days when the swelling is completely gone.
Do you have before/after pics you can share? Love to see the results!
Did your previous injector tell you why they thought your smile lines couldn't be helped?
Great, thank you!!! I see exactly what you're talking about now.
