Juvederm or Other Filler for Parenthesis Around Mouth?

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.

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!

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... more

Hi First Time Filler, Juvederm is an excellent filler for the areas of your concern.  More important than the filler is the physician you choose to place the filler.  Choose your injector carefully. Good luck and be well. Dr. P

These rhytids respond well to any of the hyaluronic fillers such as Restylane, Perlane or Juvederm or the collagen filler Evolence.  Other fillers such as Radiesse or Sculptra are more meant for deeper tissues. So go ahead and enjoy.

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... more

 Juvederm or any of the hyaluronic acids are great fillers for the peri-oral lines.  They should be done by an experienced injector to get a great result.

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.

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... more

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.... more

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... more
