Can I get Juvéderm Ultra in Panama?

Yes. Most major clinics in Panama City stock the full Juvéderm line, including Ultra XC and Volbella. Same product, same manufacturer (Allergan), just cheaper.

What if I don't like my results?

Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase. Any decent clinic will have this on hand. Takes about 24 hours to work.
