    Default Anyone used JUVEDERM? I made an appointment, scared of swelling.

    Has anyone tried JUVEDERM?

    I made an appointment to have Juvederm in nasiolabial lines + around mouth. Holy fuck, I'm nervous about swelling.

    I have friends in Vegas that have injected silicone into those areas and they look BEAUTIFUL. I'm paying way more to go the legit route, but I'm still concerned about the swelling in the areas or unevenness. Reading a Yelp review from the place didn't help. A woman said she looked like The Joker afterwards. Oh boy, any experiences out there???

    I haven't had my smile lines done but I did get Juvy in my lips and philtrum(sp?)--the lines that form a crest from your lip to your nostrils. I looked ridiculous for 3 days but it was totally worth it. I'm sure it'll turn out lovely in the end--I only see freak things happen when people use permanent substances or inject where the skin is really thin.

    I do it myself now. It's pretty easy but I do fudge up occasionally. The good thing is that I can usually fix my mistakes.

    I never advocate diy unless you go through hours of training, research and have legit product. I only use branded products from Canada and spent hours watching training videos. I also have a lot of experience with injection and anatomy due to my job.

    Impressive! I'm thrilled u like Juvederm. Reassurance is a good thing right now. How much swelling or bruising is typical?

    I got juvederm along my smile lines and to give me apple cheeks. One syringe was $500 and it does last over a year. Start early if you can afford. Preventative is easier than repair. There are so many wonderful products out there but see a dermatologist to do it. There is a definite art to injections and will minimize bruising. I had small bruises that makeup easily covered. I had no swelling. Read reviews locally so you can find someone good to do it.

    I'm 36 and nobody ever believes me. They think I'm 24! I love it!!!

    I just got radiannse to help fill up my cheeks and lessen my smile lines and I love it, but the first day I was super swollen, so I wouldn't plan on working the same day you get it done.
