One of the doctor's assistants consulted with me. I told her that I wanted Juvederm to improve the dark circles under my eyes, decrease laugh lines, and decrease marionette lines. She said it would be 1 syringe worth,(1 cc). Then the doctor came in and I reiterated what I wanted. He told me that I would only need a little bit around my eyes and laugh lines, none around my mouth to reduce marionette lines. I know I didn't have a whole syringe worth yet I was still charged the full 1 cc price. I didn't think about it until afterwards because I thought I had paid in advance for up to the full 1 cc amount. I went in again the next week for a follow-up and needed a little more Juvederm and the doctor was going to charge me for 1/2 a syringe more. I told him that he didn't even use a full syringe and I was being charged the full amount so I should be charged twice. He agreed and didn't charge me again, but he didn't put much in my face anyway, stating that I didn't need much. It still wasn't a full syringe. It wasn't even 1/2 a syringe but I let it go and decided to eat the costs. I had to go to have some of the Juvederm disolved the next week because he had put a little too much under my eyes and he charged me $100 for that. He had told me there wouldn't be a charge but his assistant told me that was wrong and charged me. I didn't want to make a big deal so I just paid it. I did over-pay but I like the work he did. If you don't mind feeling like you've been over-charged, go there. I will admit that I will probably not go there again for Juvederm because I don't like feeling like I'm being over-charged and feeling uncomfortable having to negotiate the over-charge with the doctor.
