Juvederm (dermal filler) for Facial Wrinkles "I had Juvelin facial fillers under my eyes, on my cheek and partly on the lines near the mouth. I am 52 years old and look fairly young. I paid and enourmous amount - much more than most of the doctors that do this procedure, thinking that my doctor would be fantastic. Result: I am completely unsatisfied and very unhappy. I had the procedure in April 2016 and now in September, I still have black color under my eye. For several months my eye was purple. The lines near the mouth, ineffective and on my cheeks, slight change but does not justify the price I paid. The doctor used Juvaders fillers indicated to me that it is the only FDA approved product. Yet, I really regret having had the procedure :-((("

Bellafill (dermal filler) for Facial Wrinkles "I received bellafill injections In October of 2019, around February of 2020 I noticed a lump in front of my right ear. Then a lump in front of my left ear and a few smaller lumps in my lower jaw area and along my cheekbones. I went back to the doctor who did the injections and she used kenalog to hopefully remove them or dissolve them. Well, the two lumps that I started out with are gone and I'm left with atrophy of my own tissue in front of both ears and the other lumps are still growing and spreading. I'm not happy at all and I'm not sure what to do about it. It's been a nightmare."

Bellafill (dermal filler) for Facial Wrinkles "You really need an expert to do these injections. I was fortunate to have a person who knew what to do. I am 70 years old and had the injections a year ago. I am thrilled with the results! It keeps getting better. I still have fine lines but not the deep wrinkles I had before."

Bellafill (dermal filler) for Facial Wrinkles "I did Bellafill injections on my cheeks . Dr was absolutely great, with great reputation. He told me, it can happened that filler turn to lumps or something similar, and only way to remove is surgically. I still decided to do. But, result was, zero. I called and go to see him. He injected another one ( for free)and said he can not explain what happened. Again nothing. I lost my money, but... my only explanation is my age.. I'm 60 years old.."

Juvederm (dermal filler) for Facial Wrinkles "I had Juvederm injections (2 syringes) on the facial wrinkles opposite my mouth just today, so I am only giving it 6 stars because I was told that the swelling and the redness from the needle would subside. My skin is VERY sensitive and when I touch the injected spot GENTLY, it feels very hard and lumpy, which I was also told would go away. I'm a bit freaked out as my face looks swollen and when I smile I can see where the gel is under my skin. I really hope this goes away. ALSO I paid a lot of money and now after telling me I needed only 2 injections, I was told I need 4. Not happy."

Bellafill (dermal filler) for Facial Wrinkles "WOW....I have had a great experience with Bellafill. I am super happy with my results and I believe the biggest issue is finding an experienced professional to do it. Its been 4 years now and my results are still really good. I had it put in two areas, nasal labial folds and under my eyes....I highly recommend Bellafill to anyone, but find someone you know and trust, ask a LOT of questions and for gods sake....do not use discount "coupon" type provider. generally looking for one time clients to get experience on. (IMO) good luck!"

Juvederm (dermal filler) for Facial Wrinkles "Juvederm did not produce what my doctor claimed it would. I have normal bags under my eyes and had injections under my eyes, above cheeks. One side looks worse, meaning the bags appear larger because of the placement of the product. The other eye has two large lumps like I am a part time MMA fighter. It’s been 3 weeks and no improvement. On top of that, I had bruising and swelling for nearly 2 weeks. I wasted so much money on this terrible product. Do not waste yours."

Juvederm (dermal filler) for Facial Wrinkles "I have had Juvederm injected twice over the course of 2 years for fullness in my lips. I love it. I have my lips just plumped up but not overly filled it looks really natural, people don't know I have had it done. I get tons of compliments about how young I look for my age. I am 41 and always get guessed at being 34, so if you just want to smooth your lips out and plump them up just a little this is a great product...just make sure you have it done by a professional that knows what they are doing. I have seen some botched lip injections done by some unqualified people."

Bellafill (dermal filler) for Facial Wrinkles "Although marketed as a 5 year filler, please be informed that this product is 100% permanent. In my case, it caused an inflammatory response of the tissues causing swelling, redness and lumpiness. It can also lead to nodules and granulomas. These adverse events are impossible to resolve and require surgical excision. Finding a specialist to perform the procedure is near impossible as no physician wants to deal with these unfortunate outcomes. I am yet to find a solution for my issues. Please stay away."

Juvederm (dermal filler) for Facial Wrinkles "Juvederm is an awful product. I used it around my laugh lines. I was told it would last at least a year and it has been less than two months. I still have lumps at the injection sites. I had horrible bruising and pain for about four weeks and now the area around my mouth looks even worse. It is an expensive product that does not deliver as promised."

Bellafill (dermal filler) for Facial Wrinkles "I had Bellafill injected in my smile lines late 2014 and then in my marionette lines in June 2015. I had an unfortunate experience, because I have so many bumps. After almost six years, I still have bumps. I had 5FU and Kenalog injections for three years. The bumps migrate, and occasionally a new bump appears. This is all happening in the marionette lines and near my lips. Only recently, I felt bumps in my smile lines. One bump in my left marionette line is so huge that I feel it needs to be surgically removed, but plastic surgeons I have visited don’t want to touch it. The left side oozed pus about every three months for about 1 1/2 years, creating a hole. I went to a plastic surgeon to stitch together the hole, but it did not work. During surgery, she said the skin was like cottage cheese and very difficult to work with. Now I have a scar in addition to all the bumps."

Restylane (dermal filler) for Facial Wrinkles "I had restalyn injected in my cheeks and smile lines. I was severely bruised with deep black and blue bruises . My cheekbone area was swollen and painful . The swelling pushed on my under eye area causing more wrinkles around my eyes. It was painful to lay on my sides for months. Which is how I sleep. My makeup could not cover the bruising and it lasted for about 2 weeks. My skin also peeled around the bruises. A month later I developed two pimples on my right cheek. When popped, an opaque ( not pus), cream colored gel came out and now my right cheek looks deflated but the left one still feels tight and looks full. I became severely anemic a month after the injections. I have chest pain when I breath and I often feel faint."

Bellafill (dermal filler) for Facial Wrinkles "I am amazed at these negative reviews. I have had Bellafill injections on the upper cheeks and nasolabial folds twice over 7 years by a board-certified plastic surgeon. The results were no less than perfect, although I did have injection bruising around the right eye that was slow to heal. I probably moved during the injection as it is painful and caused the bruise. It took 10 days to clear up. Other than that, results were no less than spectacular in removing embedded lines and plumping up my aging cheeks. (I am 71 - had first injection at 64.) I think it's important to see a board-certified plastic surgeon, not an aesthetician, who has lots of experience with Bellafill. My doc flies around the world training other physicians in Bellafill, and I will continue to return every 5 years."

Restylane (dermal filler) for Facial Wrinkles "First I had numbing cream on my face which did not work, then a stronger one was put on my face until it was totally numb. The injection put in my face broke and several more were put in mainly on one side not the other of my face. I looked lop sided for days after and swollen like someone punched me in the side of my face. 3 months later I still have a lump under my top lip. Made not the slightest difference to the lines on my lips, no noticeable change was evident, just pain and bruising. Very unsure of having more done, this one visit cost me £200 and was told I need to spend £600 and two more sessions to see any difference. The pain was not worth it and the look was terrible. Suddenly I like my wrinkles. Horrible experience."

Bellafill (dermal filler) for Facial Wrinkles "I received 2 injections of Bellafill on my cheeks for acne scars. I loved how it looked from the start. The doctor originally recommended 3-4 injections. After a year, I decided to return and have another injection. Again, loved my results. Another year passed and once again went in for one more injection. It’s been 3 years since my 1st 2 injections and I couldn’t be happier! Friends & family comment on how great my skin looks now "

Bellafill (dermal filler) for Facial Wrinkles "I got Bellafill after I received a bad nose job from a surgeon who basically thought it would be a good idea to cut off the cartilage of my nose. Even then I'd say Bellafill was the biggest mistake I've ever made in my life. The doctor who did my injection put 1 syringe on the tip of my nose in a single shot. I literally cried after seeing the results, my nose looked the same except much wider and flatter. To put this into perspective, I'm 21 and got Bellafill in May of 2021, but it looks a little better than when I first got it done. However, I noticed that the width of my nose gets smaller when I start to workout, particularly when I sweat. Maybe like 30% smaller. 'Im not sure if it has anything to do with it migrating to different parts of the face. I kinda wish it would. I also thought about injecting 5U syringe but after reading the comments I'm afraid that I'll have bumps start to show. For now, Im thinking of buying those nose clips that claims to help shrink your nose."

Juvederm (dermal filler) for Facial Wrinkles "I had Juvederm injections in my lips and the corners of my mouth in July. It is now January and I have a continual problem with redness, inflammation and cracks in the corners of my mouth. I went to my regular dermatologist in a different state and she prescribed Ketoconazole 2%. It did not work. Nothing has worked including various OTC lip balm and Neosporin."

Bellafill (dermal filler) for Facial Wrinkles "Surpised to see so many negative ratings this is a GREAT product. Nothing like it. I gave it 8 stars instead of 10 because the amount of permanent correction per syringe is small. At the original price of $1000/syringe I do NOT think the product would be worth it because of this. At $500/syringe it's definitely worth it. Be careful about your injector, I used one of the most experienced injectors in the country. So far 10 syringes in cheeks and nasolabial folds and there's more to go, for the reasons I mentioned. My face has a softer glow and the smile lines are improved, but more to go."

Bellafill (dermal filler) for Facial Wrinkles "This is permanent and likely irreversible. If you don't like the results, or if the results are imperfect (or bad), you will be unable to undo this procedure. Please choose reversible fillers. I speak from experience. I used to feel very attractive. Now, I feel like my eyes are squished beneath bulbous cheeks. I have unnatural looking cheekbones now due to Bellafill being used to "build them up" in an attempt to fix deep smile lines. Please take my advice and avoid this product. Its permanent nature is a potentially ugly consequence, even if your injector is experienced."

Bellafill (dermal filler) for Facial Wrinkles "My left side of my mouth went down due to Nerve damage on left side of mouth. The doctor recommended this product Bellafill. I never had a filler before. I walk around with confidence now that I do not look sad or have a crooked mouth. Bella filler changed my life. Thank you. It’s been 2 years and the results are amazing still!"

Bellafill (dermal filler) for Facial Wrinkles "I think I am one of the 3 percent here that had a good experience with Artefill/Bellafill. It is only suppose to be used in the lips. I would never put it under my eyes. In 2008 I had Artefill Injected into my lips and then in 2010 Bellafill. My lips are still plump they used to be flat! It is now almost 2020, 10 years later my lips are still plump. It has gone down a tiny bit but it feels like the scar tissue around the micro beads nicely grew around them to naturally form pouty lips. I want to do it a 3rd time this time with 2 syringes so I can have the look I would like n leave them forever never have to think about fillers in my lips again. IO swear by Bellafill . DO NOT put a permanent micro beaded product under your eyes. I will be using Juvéderm under my eyes since I turned 30 I just have some mild hollowness. I get 22-23 I guess a bit of makeup and good skin care hides the fact my skins changing at 30."

Bellafill (dermal filler) for Facial Wrinkles "Like the other reviews - DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT. I was "dating" a Dr. that owned a medical spa and he wanted to inject under my eyes to make them smooth. He ended up using Bellafill and well unfortunately for me it's been 5 years and now I have visible lumps under my eyes that are permanent!! I wish I would have look at the reviews prior to him giving me a "free" treatment. I will make an appointment with a plastic surgeon that can hopefully help me. I guess it's not "free" after all if I need to pay to remove it!!!!"

Restylane (dermal filler) for Facial Wrinkles "Due to waiting for delayed oral surgery, I developed lines around lips and saggy jowls. My dermatologist recommended this product. It was injected in those areas over three courses to correct for lumps and leakage. I’m not happy with deep crow lines that are worse now than what they looked like before. Not happy with my Dr "

Bellafill (dermal filler) for Facial Wrinkles "I’m having terrible lumps on my lips 5 years later. They are constantly inflamed. Which I read that bellafill isn’t even approved for lips. Bad granullomas have formed. Run from this product. We should all have a law suit for pain and suffering."

Juvederm Voluma XC (dermal filler) for Facial Wrinkles "I had Juvederm Voluma 2 syringes on my cheeks and a month later it’s gone. 1500.00 dollars down the drain. Not right! My cheeks weren’t that sunken just wanted more of a lift. Honestly I hear these complaints a lot. I think there should be a law class action suit against the maker for lying on the duration. These spas and dr’s are making a killing and us innocent people are getting scammed"
