Dr Hobgood is the most Amazing Dr!! I could not believe how comfortable I felt with him. It was as if my concerns were the most important thing. His explanations not to mention the time he took. It was as if he had all day!. I do wish he had been my injectable Dr. I am certain I would be in a much better place. He did explain how hyalruonidase works and that it is difficult to know another injectors technique , could still do it but he thought I should give it a bit more time and wait it out. I was so relieved after my visit with him. I will certainly choose him for all my future cosmetic needs. Just wish I had all this knowledge before I made the decision I did. What an amazing guy!!

UPDATED FROM mad4

Juvederm side effects 1 year and 4 months later

mad4
So, I have had quite an unusual experience over this past year plus. I originally posted about my side effects after Juvederm and how my original injecting Dr was of no help whatsoever. It could of been alot easier for me if he had been more professional. Actu ally taken an interest and cared. I sought out the good advice of Dr Hobgood. He came highly recommended from this site and he will always be a shining star. He helped me make a decision and let me know he was there for me whatever I decided to do. Listen up Docs, that is HUGE. Yes , he is real. Dr Hobgood , Scottsdale ,Az. I decided to ride it out, symptoms and all. Just knowing he was there reduced my symptoms in half. Amazing thing caring about people and what can happen. My symptoms did subside and at one point dissappeared entirely. Lite laser brought them on as did retina A and other skin care. I noticed anxiety also plays a role. I am currently having a repeat of symptoms and 1 year and 4 months later Juvederm is still there. Has not diminished much. I don't mind the blue Tindall lines and white streAK because that can be covered with makeup. Would I prefer to not have those? Yes, of course, but symptoms are far more bothersome. This is what I have learned:
The mind plays a critical role. Dr Hobgood is a good Dr because he knows this. He knew exactly what I needed from him to help me cope. I did cope much better with his support. I also had the support of my family physician. She realized my anxiety and I was prescribed xanax. I also looked at inflamation and why some persons have this response and others dont. I changed my diet, I learned how to breathe properly, I meditated, kept myself busy and took my focus off how I felt and put it on others and my responsibilities. Will this work for everyone? Probably not but if someone can benefit from this in anyway then that is wonderful feeling. As I write this my face aches and my liplines tingle and buzz, 2 months ago they did not. Will they continue, maybe, maybe not. I don't know. I do know this, having a good qualified Dr for support by the name of Dr Hobgood and his right arm Annie ,and staff. If you live in Scottsdale Az, choose him. He is everything a Dr should be. I hope I can say in 6months, a year , I am over it all. I know there are people far worse than I that will never recover wether it is from injector error or inflamation, I do think for the money Juvederm makes they should have some support for those harmed. Also they should provide small samp l es so that one can have a test injection first. Really seems absurd the disregard for those affected.

Mad4...I’m not sure you will read this, but I just read your symptoms- how you are feeling etc., it sounds like you have panic disorder - which can happen for No apparent reason or by some major life event. It can do crazy things sometimes to how you feel mentally. Xanax will help but maybe talk to your doctor about meds for panic/anxiety, ex. Cynbalta, Zoloft etc. I had it in 1999, and was not easy - mine was triggered by driving. I have been fine, for the most part - as long as you say on the meds, I’m ok.

HI George 92065, Yes, I am pretty much recovered. I still have product, it did not break down completely and is kinda lumpy. Coming up on 2 years here in Sept. My symptoms are resolved as of last spring for the most part. I am on lowdose xanax at bedtime. Have been for maybe 20 yrs. I am not sure if I will end up removing anything as it is symptom less at this point. It has been a crazy experience. Thanks for sharing this info!
