WORTH IT$700
I am 33 years old and I had 1 syringe of juvaderm in my Nasolabial folds and 30 units of botox in my forehead yesterday at 6pm for the first time. I recently lost 25 pounds that seemed to suck the volume right out of my cheeks and increased the depth of my smile lines. The procedure went okay, I fainted immediately after it was over, the nurses gave me a snack and protein drink and took me to a room that was much cooler and put a fan on me, it took ten minutes for me to feel better.
I had redness and irritation on both sides of my mouth immediately then and bruising within minutes after leaving the dr office. I applied frozen peas to my cheeks for 20 minutes, I rotated the bag from left cheek to right cheek every couple of minutes for about 15 minutes and repeated that every couple of hours. I can feel the filler under my skin in the folds. The only way to describe the feeling under the skin is to say it feels like a rope or a piece of my cell phone power cord is in there.
I applied green concealer to the bruising today when I went to work, either nobody noticed it or they just didnt mention it. I gently washed the make up off when I got home from work. It has been 28 hours and I have posted pictures of my cheeks 1 hour post-op, 24 hours post op with make up and 28 hours post op after removing the make up.
I know the end results take time and I guess I was surprised the filler was not massaged into place, I expected it to be smoother when I walked out of there. But I know from experience with other cosmetic procedures that the end results take time. So I will update when I can.

It's been 3 days and the bruising is almost gone. I have been applying arnica cream to areas twice a day and I think it helped a lot. I can still feel the juvaderm under my skin and I called my dr's office and they say it will take time for it to go down. My skin is peeling around the injection area which made it difficult to hide the bruising with makeup. I am using arnica cream twice a day and I think it helped a lot with the bruising.

Wow! You look fabulous. I had restylane injection in the nasolabial. The worst part is when they numb the area. It hurts so much. But I think it makes a BIG difference in my appearance. It also lasts about a year. So in the end it's worth it. Thanks for sharing.
