Any Thoughts on Botox or Juvederm?

I will be 35 in a couple of weeks and lately have really noticed I've aged. I know it's normal but I would like to look closer to 30 rather than 40! The lines around my mouth really bother me and also my crow's feet and horrible dark circles. I was reading the other day that sometimes they use Juvederm ( or similiar injection) under the eyes which really helps the circles. So what is your experience? Do you think it's worth the money? How long did it last? Thanks!

What can I do next?

Every line -- wrinkle -- crease -- and discoloration on our faces is a memory. The crinkles around our eyes are from laughing and smiling with our kids or hubby, the dark circles remind us of the sleepless nights snuggling a tiny body as we get them back to sleep, the lines around our mouths are from smiles of pride when our kids first rode a 2 wheeler or graduated high school and every proud moment in between. My face is a memory of raising kids and loving them.

I saw them injecting the Juvederm into someone last week on a show--the Doctors, maybe? You know, for the parenthesis? :)

The woman said "no botox" because she wanted her kids to be able to know she was angry when she was! LOL

I live in the Dallas area and some people have had it with success.. However, I have seen so many botched job, I would never let anyone touch my face with that stuff.

Just look online at some of the actresses who have ended up with botched job... Lisa Rinna, Bruce Jenner, kenny Rogers, etc

I got botox, really to help migraines (didn't work). I did love not having the wrinkles, it worked very well that way. But you have to have it done every three months. And it is weird to feel like you are scowling or having an expression and then look in the mirror and nothing!! It does what it says though....

Never tried juvederm, and don't plan to. Seen too many botched jobs.

I have used both. HATE Juvederm. I was way puffy under my eyes for years afterwards. Love Botox but effects last only about a year.
