Poor aesthetic outcomes are frequent and not always easily reversed.  http://www.realself.com/question/horribly-lumpy-lips-juvederm-hyaluronidase-injection-worse-permanently-ruined

Patients be warned:– choose carefully when seeking out filler injectors. The Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery trains doctors to an advanced level with a view to Diploma and Fellowship attainment.    http://www.accs.org.au/
