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 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."

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."

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."
