Juvederm or Other Filler for Parenthesis Around Mouth?
I am going to get Juvederm injected in the "parenthesis" around my mouth. My dermatologist recommended it specifically, but after reading the above questions and answers I am worried that I might be choosing the wrong filler.
Do you have any thoughts? It is my first injection, so I don't know how I will do with it. I just want to get the most bang for my buck, Thanks!

Juvederm for Nasolabial folds, (the Parenthesis)
There are many good choices for this area. Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, Autologous Fat, all have their place. For a first time injection, Juvederm is a good choice. Be sure and research your injector. What is their experience? How long have they been doing this? How many have they done? What happens if there is the (rare) problem. Best to see a few injectors and then decide.

There's a first time for everything
Dear First Time,
For your first time Juvederm is a good choice for your parentheses. The results will last from 6-9 months. At this time in your young rejuvenation journey a short duration for the product is probably preferable just in case you don't like the results. You can graduate to other products or procedures as you and your physician progress. Good luck!

Choose the doctor well, don't focus on the filler
Juvaderm is an excellent choice for nasolabial groove treatment (parentheses). Other Hyaluronic Acid fillers are also good alternatives. But, your most important decision is not the choice of material.
Your most important choice is an experienced physician to discuss your goals, carefully assess your face, suggest treatment alternatives (that might include something other than filler), and perform the filler treatment well.
You aren't simply buying a syringe of HA filler. You are buying...

Juvederm is my top choice for nasolabial folds
Juvederm is my preferred option for the "parentheses" around the mouth. Your doctor is correct! It is a hyaluronic acid, which is already in your body and not considered a "foreign substance." It has better flow characteristics than Restylane or Perlane (other hyaluronic acids). Juvederm tends to last 6-9 months on average.
Radiesse is another option. It is made out of calcium hydroxyapatite, a substance found in your bones. It can last longer than Juvederm: 10-14 months...

Plenty of good options including Juvederm
Juvederm is an excellent choice for this area. It should last at least 6-9 months, and if you have it "topped off" before it is all gone then you get a very long lasting correction. Another good choice is Evolence, a collagen product that lasts up to a year, and has very little swelling after injection. Restylane and Radiesse also work well there.

Juvederm is my first choice in this area
My short answer is that I think you're making a great choice with Juvederm in this area. The options include Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus, Restylane, Perlane, Collagen, Radiesse, and your own fat, among others. The reasons why I don't like the others as my first choice in this area are:
Fat: obviously safe (it's your own fat), and what is left after about 6 months is permanent (around 50% of the injected fat is absorbed by 6 months). But you usually need some type of...

Juvederm would be my first choice in this area
You have to be careful what you read on the internet. As I have often said: "It is not the filler, it is the Filler", meaning the product is not the problem, it is the injector.
Always do your homework on the doctor, as well as the product. Stick to a board certified specialist: dermatologist or plastic surgeon, for example. Watch for imposters who call themselves dermatologsits, but are not. Also, look for a specialist who also has a good reputation in your area for fillers....

Juvederm filler for "parentheses"
For this area of the face, several fillers work very well including Perlane, Juvederm Ultra Plus and Radiesse. You need to know that there are two forms of Juvederm - Ultra and Ultra Plus. Ultra Plus is thicker and I think a better choice for the parentheses. You can expect to have a few days of swelling/redness and/or bruising so I recommend a cover-up makeup as needed. You should be reassurred that lumpiness can be massaged out and if you hate the results (after the injected areas...
