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 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."

"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!"
