Some patients do absorb hyaluronic acid faster

Nissan Pilest, 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?

In some of our patients, we have occasionally seen quicker absorption of Hyaluronic acid Juvederm or Restylane.

It is hard to tell if it would work the second time.

I would use Juvederm Ultra Plus or Perlane the second time, which may work better for you.
