Five years later; still happy

WORTH IT$700
Five years after my first experience with Juvederm, I'm still really happy with it. At first, I was doing it almost exactly 12 months apart (a birthday gift to myself). It never took a full syringe which, is sort of a waste, but I didn't feel the need to do anything more (e.g. put it in my lips). Bruising was always minimal and easily covered with makeup.
At this point, I haven't done had the filler put in for almost two years and it still looks pretty decent. I'm only just starting to notice a little creasing. My doctor told me that, over time, it tends to last longer. I guess she was right! So, big thumbs up to Juvederm in the nasolabial folds. That said, I'm thinking the next time I get anything done I will try Voluma in my cheeks (to deal with volume loss) instead of XC in the nasolabial folds. If I do, I'll report back to you all about my experience.
p.s. sorry there are no pictures, but I value my privacy too much.

6 months and still going strong.

It's still there although it's diminished a little (I think). My favorite part is that I can smile away all night long those parenthesis lines that used to kind of set in aren’t there or are faint and disappear quickly. I will definitely get a "refill" when the time comes.

Just over 2 weeks

So, I did bruise on one side--it gradually appeared over four hours--but was able to cover it with makeup (my boyfriend didn't even notice). Now, two weeks in and I really couldn't be happier. Honestly, I kind of wish I'd done it earlier. It's a really subtle change in terms of the folds because they weren't that bad. The most surprising thing to me was that the actual lines around my mouth (which appeared after I smiled a lot) diminished! I mean, they are basically gone and I didn't think filler would do anything for them.
I can feel the product a little when I make a certain face, but only I can tell it's there. I'm super pleased with the results and feel good that the product has positive side effects like increasing collagen production. I feel like I'm not just throwing away such a large amount of money on vanity, but investing in the future of my skin. I will post pics soon!

What you wrote above would make a great start to a review. I was all over the place when I started retin-a too, most of my reviews I leave as "undecided" until I know for sure, then I just journal about how my progress is going, the changes I've made, etc. I think its helpful for people to hear the entire process, so if you ever decide you are up for it, feel free to start one. You can always change your Worth It Rating, so you aren't making a huge commitment to telling everyone it was or was not worth it. :)
