Is Juvederm Good for Lines Above Lip?
Also can juvederm deal with some small scaring that I have on my cheeks from an accident. The cost worries me and how long it will last

Upper lip wrinkles
Deep lines in the upper lip are caused in some patients by the strucure of their bone and teeth, excessive pursing during speech (some people use these muscles more in a pursed fashion when pronouncing certain letters), pursing during smoking, chronic sun exposure and other causes. Fillers last for about six months in this area, sometimes longer, but not as long as compared to the smile folds because of the large amount of movement of the lip muscles. The most aggressive resurfacing...

Scar depressions
Juvederm works best on facial depressions and not on specific lines of the face. If the scar is depressed it can help to lift it.. Superficial lines may be better treated with lasers and retinoic acids.

Juvederm is very good for lines above the lip
Juvederm is very good for lines above the lip. Usually the lines themselves are not injected but instead the injections are placed at the border of the lip and across the lines to minimize lumpiness.

Juvederm good for lines above lip
Yes, I use it frequently Costs from $500 to 600. Lasts from 4 to 6 months at best. I use numbing cream to allow a less painful injection experience.

Correcting Deep Lip Lines
From the attached photograph you appear to have advanced sun damaged skin and facial and lip deflation resulting in deepening lines. Although Restylane or Juvederm would improve such lines, they cannot completely smooth them out. In my opinion, your best solution would lie with a deep facial laser resurfacing followed by placement of fillers.
Look up the Sciton JOULE Microlaser peel combined with ProFractional treatment. The combined treatment will precisely sand off damaged skin AND...

Juvederm for lines above the lip
Juvederm and Restylane are both great fillers for the lines above the lip, and they can lift up depressed scars too. There will be improvement, but don't expect perfection. Make sure to see an expert injector such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon for optimal results and safety. Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre.

Juvederm can help with lip lines, but other treatments may be necessary
Juvederm is a great product for volumization and enhanced definition of lips, as well as for the nasolabial lines around your lips. They can help correct the "perioral" lines around and above your lips, but from your photograph, I believe you'll need a different type of treatment to get significant benefit.
I would suggest laser treatment or dermabrasion of the perioral area. Fractionated laser treatment is the safest as it has the least chance of turning the skin in the treated...

Juvederm duration of effect
Juvederm typically lasts 6-8 months and in non dynamic areas has been shown to last up to 12 months. If the areas are dynamic, it tends to be less lasting. It will soften deep lines and scars. It will not totally correct or remove wrinkles or scars. It can be very expensive.

Fraxel repair for Deep Upper Lip Lines and Facial Scars
Hi Carib,
Your upper lip lines (rhytids) will respond well to fractionated CO2 laser treatment (Fraxek repair). You will likely require two treatments. Consider treating your entire face and neck for overall rejuvenation. Good luck and be well.

Juvederm For Lip Lines
Juvederm will "help" the lip lines present in your upper lip, with most of the benefit being achieved along the vermillion border (junction of red and white lip); over aggressive filling of these lines can lead to a ridging effect. Given the depth of your lip lines, the sun damage present, etc., you may want to consider a skin resurfacing procedure (fractionated CO2 laser) for a more substantive result. A better result equates with more downtime. Evaluate your concerns, the type...
