"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."

"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 :-((("

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I love the Juvederm Ultra Plus. A doctor recommended the Ultra Plus for my smile lines because of its thicker consistency. It has been seven months, and I can still visibly notice the results."

"No visible results seen. Very disappointed, though my dermatologist provided the service. My daughter had the same experience in Denver and was disappointed also."

"It did help with the sad lines under my mouth and looks great as a cheek filler. Had some bruising, but I would say the oddest reaction is I have had no appetite for three days."
