Juvederm: Q&A
Ask a Question
Juvederm at Nineteen?
I was wondering the side effects and future possible complications of getting Juvederm at 19 years of age. I want my lips plumped up a little more and I have small smile lines setting in. Will Juvederm work to prevent more wrinkles and fuller lips? Or will it leave my face dependent on it for the rest of my life? Thank you.

Juvederm at Nineteen?
Juvederm is hyaluronic acid (as is Restylane) which blends with your body's own natural hyaluronic acid. Using it to increase fullness of your lips does not result in a dependance on it. It is unusual at age 19 to have enough wrinkles to warrant using injectable fillers. Fillers do not "prevent" wrinkles from developing, though botulinum toxin (Dysport, Botox) can discourage them since it de-activates the muscles that cause them.

Juvaderm safe for 19 year-old if it is needed
Juvaderm is FDA approved for people 18 years and older. It is safe to use in the lips, but is not a preventative way to prevent further wrinkling (like botox can) and usually lasts about 9-12 months. I would recommend scheduling a consultation with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon to see what the best option for you is. If you are just looking for slightly fuller lips, than Juvaderm is a great product, you just don't want to over do it and have unnatural or uneven lips. Hope this helps!

An injectable filler does not prevent future wrinkles from forming. It will just work to fill in the wrinkles that are present. Botox, however, can be preventative. For example, if an individual frequently frowns, the Botox can decrease the frowning, thus decreasing the lines that will appear in the future.

Juvederm in Young Patients
Juvederm won't "prevent" wrinkles per say, but can enhance volume if one has volume loss in a given area. Juvederm in the lips will provide a more fuller lip, and I would recommend treatment with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon for treatment.

Juvederm at Young Age
Hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane temporarily give fullness to the lips. They do not prevent wrinkles from forming. Use of these fillers is safe, and should not cause any long-term dependency. Once the fillers wear off in six to nine months, your lips should simply return to their natural appearance.

Juvederm at a young age (19)
Juvederm is a filler made of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in everyone's dermis/skin. There would be no more safety concern whether you were 19 or 30 or 50 or 80, the filler would be very safe when injected by a highly trained and experienced injector such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. You will not become addicted or dependent to fillers or botox. Dr. Benjamin Barankin, Toronto Dermatology Centre.

Juvederm for lips at nineteen/ fine lines
Having injections to increase the fullness of your lips is not a problem. You will not experience any long term complications or side effects if it is injected properly and the injector does not go overboard with the fullness. Complications tend to arise when products are injected into the lips that create permanant nodules. You can avoid that issue by only using a hyaluronic based product, Restylane or Juvederm.
Now lets talk about the fine lines that...

Fillers at 19
At 19 you may be a bit young to have fillers. Filling the lip is possible with juvederm, restylane, or perlane.

Juvederm at Nineteen?
Juvederm can be used at your age to provide shape and volume to your lips. You will not become "dependent" on it. You can expect that if you decide to stop using dermal filler that your lips will return to their previous shape and volume. The key with lip injections is to find an experienced injector and to review photos of their lip injections. It is very easy to overdo lips or to distort the natural lip shape. I hope this information is helpful.

Juvederm at 19 ? Yes and NO
You will find practitioners who will inject Juvederm or other fillers in your face at age 19 or 18 or 17 BUT there are few patients your age that seek such treatments. It is safe and it may give you the cosmetic look that you are seeking. If this is the look you are seeking, you should talk to 1 or 2 experienced practitioners for their opinions before you get it done - expect to pay a consultation fee for their time and expertise.
