Sorry for your unhappiness. Let me try to put a perspective on this. HA fillers, like Juvederm or Restylane, in lower concentrations are short lasting. Lees than 3 to 4 months in over 85% of those injected. The "parent companies" charge a fee to the doctors. lets say for each syringe of Juvederm the cost is $300. Your doc charged you $450 per syringe. A gross profit of $150. So after injecting 2 syringes at a fee of $900 (gross profit = $300) you most likely needed more than JUST 2 syringes. I guess you needed 4 syringes, 2 per side. Thus you, because of cost or what you wanted to spend, and the injecting doctor, because he was short sighted into amounts needed to achieve the result, were both at fault. Why not call and offer to pay his costs for more??? Or you can always complain but that usually never solves the issue. Remember there are costs to do any treatment. Short changing causes unhappiness in both the patient and doctor and staff. Best of luck from MIAMI (less)

In some patients Juvederm can actually disappear in just a few weeks for some reason. So don't blame the doc. Restylane may be a better choice for some.

It is difficult to judge exactly why juvederm did not work for you. Some reasons are: some basic anatomic asymmetries may not allow exact correction, dynamic movements of the face will often force the injectable out of the place of injection, technical factors, i.e., placement of the injection may also explain some problems. You should talk to the doctor and explain your concerns. (less)
