For Facial Wrinkles "This product is great for filling up lips and face. However, I am really complaining about how long it lasts and how the manufacturer continues to say it lasts 9-12 months. It doesn't last anywhere near that long. Try maybe 4 months. It continues to bother me that they can make this claim and get away with it. You will end up paying a fortune for the procedure. My nurse said Volbella lasts up to a year or more, and in 4 months, I was back in."

For Facial Wrinkles "I had Juvederm 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 an enormous 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 Juvederm fillers and indicated to me that it is the only FDA-approved product. Yet, I really regret having had the procedure :-((("

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."

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."

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 the 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."

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."

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."

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 drs are making a killing, and us innocent people are getting scammed."

For Lip Augmentation "I had Juvederm Volbella lip injections one and a half years ago. Immediately after, my lips were swollen and there were around four hard, tender lumps, which I was assured would disappear - they didn’t. I was pleased with the result for six months, apart from the tender lumps, which I now know were granulomas as a result of the injection technique. After six months, I started getting soft lumps on and around my lips, which were unsightly. I went back to the doctor who performed the injections, and he injected a solvent, which didn’t really work. The filler has disappeared now, and the granulomas have almost disappeared. I would not recommend it."

"I had 3 syringes injected in my cheeks (1.5 syringes in each cheek). I am 41, have minimal wrinkles, and don't look 'sunken.' I merely wanted cheeks and have a bit of the 'high cheekbone' look. Voluma did NOTHING. I regret all the money I spent. It looked good for a week and disappeared. It's been 2 months, and it's as if I never had a filler. So disappointed and angry about the wasted money. My doctor is wonderful and reputable... it was the product that didn't work for me."

For Lip Augmentation "I am a 58-year-old Caucasian female. Had my lips injected 9 months ago for lip lines. 2 months ago, I started getting lumps in my bottom lip. Then, as time went by, the other injection sites started swelling and getting tender. I'm looking for answers on why I would have issues 9 months later."

For Lip Augmentation "I was excited to try this because I have seen the positive effects on other people's lips and thought, why not? First mistake. Not only do the injections hurt extremely badly, even with the lidocaine, I had a blood vessel hit, and my face was extremely swollen and instantly very bruised. The bruise spread towards my nose and all over my upper lip, and I had to go back in and have the reversal injections done. Let me tell you, after being so swollen and bruised, those injections were excruciatingly painful. I will have to get more injections now to fix my lip since the reversal ones diminish your own natural lips. Needless to say, I will never try this again. My face looks like someone beat me, and I don't even want to leave the house."

For Facial Wrinkles "I paid $600 upfront after a consult, and the appointment was set for 2.5 months later, which was 8 days ago. Clearly, my concern about marionette lines was given. One unit was recommended for successful treatment. When I arrived for my appointment, I was told that I should have gone with the cheek filler (Voluma), and the next time I went there, I should get that because it will work better. The girl proceeded with the treatment and indicated she had to use the unit I prepaid. She took before and after photos, and there was little to no change. It has been 8 days now and the marionette lines are laughing at me. The girl called me 2 days after my procedure and said if money is no option, it's amazing what could be done. I am so disappointed with the Juvederm results, or lack of. Why did they sell me a product that would not show results? I could have easily switched to the cheek filler if that would have actually shown results. Now, I lost $600 and have kept my marionette lines."

For Lip Augmentation "I received Juvederm Volbella XC for above-the-lip scars. The lady that administered it said she only used 1/2 syringe. Two days later, I started getting chills. I called them, and they said it was no way the product. I explained I really never get sick, so I knew it was related to the filler. I ended up with flu-like symptoms, burning lips and mouth, and asthma. Really scary stuff. I called the FDA and reported this. They had to remove the product with hyaluronidase. To this day, I have no idea if it was an allergic reaction or infection. Think twice before you do this. They make it sound pretty, but they are injecting a drug, not a cosmetic. You can end up with a lifelong infection or a lethal reaction. This stuff is dangerous. Before you try, just Google flu-like symptoms from Juvederm. There are so many sick people from it."

For Facial Wrinkles "Terrible product, the doctor that was not really a doctor (found out later) said no swelling will happen, totally different filler, nope, she injected lips, mouth corners, and underside of my face. I look 10 years older, she created wrinkles and bumps with this filler. This is the most awful experience I ever had with fillers and this injector, never ask for this product, it should not be permitted to use! It does nothing to hydrate the skin either."

For Lip Augmentation "I had the very same experience with Volbella. I am a 59-year-old white female with no known allergies of any kind. I had a lot of swelling and nodules six months after injections! Minor and normal swelling right after injection. The doctor prescribed a couple of rounds of steroids that eventually worked. Horrible experience! But the six months prior to the swelling and nodules, I loved the results."

"Walked in for a consultation only and felt very confident with the doctor prescribing and felt she was honest for what I wanted and really listened to me. Very nervous because it was my first time ever doing any procedure other than getting a facial. I’m 51 and hate my labial folds! I made the decision right then and there to have the procedure. I’m so shocked at the results. I cannot believe how perfect it went and looks! No bruising or pain. The key is to make sure you feel confident with your practitioner or doctor that’s doing it. I highly recommend them!"

For Lip Augmentation "I got my top and bottom lip injected. My lips look more plump. And they are full now compared to what they looked like before. The injections didn't even hurt. I enjoyed the process of getting my lips done and my doctor was very kind and considerate of what my lip goals were and what my desired outlook for my lips were."
