Juvederm breakdown by body

Benjamin Barankin, MD answers: Juvederm absorbed by the body

I had Juvederm Ultra injected in my lips and my body absorbed it and it didn't make my lips larger. My doctor says if I do it again it will work. How do I know this is true?

Our bodies break down fillers such as Juvederm at different rates. The lip area, which constantly moves, breaks down fillers particularly fast. I agree that a deeper filler or larger molecule such as Perlane or Juvederm Ultra Plus might be worth trying, ideally in the hands of an experienced dermatologist injector.
