How long does Juvederm last?

I've been researching how long Juvederm lasts, but what people say in Juvederm reviews and what the FDA says don't really match up.  Can someone tell me, how long does Juvederm last? Does where you have the Juvederm injections in your face make a difference in how long it lasts?

A: How long does Juvederm last? 12 to 18 months

Daniel Reichner, MD

I have recently seen patients that I injected with Juvederm into their cheeks and tear trough depression over 12 months ago still with good correction.  I agree some patients seem to "burn" up the Juvederm faster than others and Juvederm last longer in the cheeks and non-moving areas compared... more

A: We don't know exactly how long Juvederm lasts

Kenneth R. Francis, MD

Juvederm products have only been approved by the FDA for filling of facial wrinkles for the last two years with an indication for up to one year duration.  So, the experience compared to Restylane in this country is relatively short.  In my practice, I have noticed slightly longer duration with... more

A: How long Juvederm will last depends on treated area, injector skill, patient factors

Sirish Maddali, MD

It is very hard to come up with a generic answer for how long Juvederm lasts because many factors affect the duration of response. A skillful injector will inject Juvederm in the correct layer and use the correct amount to give you the result you desire. If all those criteria have been met, then Juvederm can... more

A: Juvederm will last about 9 months in the cheeks and 6 months around the mouth

George J. Beraka, MD

I think Juvederm really is quite long lasting,  but I like patients to have only pleasant surprises.  So these are the estimates that I give.  The manufacturer (with FDA backing) claims longer.  I think this is a good duration.  Remember, your face changes over time, and you don't want... more

A: Juvederm longevity dictated by where it is placed.

Michael J. Brown, MD

Good question, but the answer can be very technical. The value or longevity of a Hyaluronic Acid filler (HA) is determined by the amount of cross-linking of the gel molecules. The body is very effective at removing things that do not belong. The beauty of HA is that it is also produced in the body so that it... more

A: Juvederm lasts longer than Restylane in most areas

Robert M. Freund, MD

I have had many years of experience with all of the different fillers. When comparing Juvederm and Restylane - Juvederm lasts much longer in most parts of the face. In the lips, neither lasts very long. Keep in mind that results vary from patient to patient, but usually I see: Juvederm - 6-10 months Restylane... more

A: Juviderm Longevity

Michael A. Persky, MD

Hi KC, Juviderm longevity depends on the area.  The more movement, the less lasting.  Juviderm lasts from 4 to 9 months in lips, while it may last longer that one year in the lower eye lid hollows.  In general I see it lasting between 6 to 9 months depending upon the patient.  Good luck and... more

A: Juvederm will last about 6 months on average

Kari L. Colen, MD

Juvederm is a filler made of hyaluronic acid which is found in our bodies normally. It provides excellent correction of nasolabial folds (the fold that separates the mouth area from the cheek area) as well as finer lines and wrinkles. Juvederm is also used to plump the lips and give more definition to the... more

In the lips it typically lasts about 4 to six months depending upon the patient and how much your lips are used. Other areas of the face typically... more

A: How long Juvederm lasts

William  Bruno, MD

The FDA states Juvederm can last up to one year. Typically, Juvederm last anywhere from 6-9 months, depending on the location of the injection.  In the nasolabial folds it seems to last longer compared to lip/perioral injections.  It also seems to last longer than Restylane, which is a similar... more
