Onesyringe of Juvederm is 1 ml of the product. The amount of “territory” that cancover depends on the depth of the wrinkles you want to treat and the amount ofenhancement you desire of the lips. Typically upper and lower lips alonerequire 1 syringe depending if you just need the corners of the mouth, or ifthe nasal labial folds (the parenthesis) need filling in too.If you try to stretch 1 syringe out to toomany areas, you will not get enough effect anywhere and most likely bedissatisfied by the results. The best answer is to be evaluated by a boardcertified plastic surgeon who can assess your specific situation and come upwith a plan that can adequately address your concerns in the most costeffective way possible.
Typically a 1 cc syringe of Juvederm Ultra Plus XC can be enough for most patients for treatment of the lips or the nasolabial folds. Some patients may benefit from 2 syringes. Make sure that the person injecting the Juvederm is a board certified plastic surgeon. Nurse injectors just do not have enough skill, training, education, or expertise to inject fillers.
Thank you for your question. The quantity of Juvederm required to achieve your desired effect depends on how you present at baseline. It is unlikely that 1 syringe would cover all of these areas. Each Juvederm syringe carries 1ml of product. That's 1/5 of a teaspoon. Typically the nasolabial folds alone would require a full syringe, and lips at least half of a syringe for modest augmentation. Without a face to face assessment it isn't possible to determine, however I would expect at least 2 syringes would be necessary. Best of luck.
Thank your for your question. It is common for patients to wonder how much correction/ enhancement 1 syringe of filler (Juvederm, Restylane, etc) can achieve. Most syringes are 1ml in size (this means they contain 1/5 of 1 teaspoon - it takes 5 syringes to fill 1 teaspoon). Trying to treat too many areas with one syringe will not give you the result you desire. Additionally, results will depend on: depth of wrinkles, amount of volume loss and which filler is chosen to use for treatment. Your best option is to consult an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon who will fully assess your face and take into consideration what you want to achieve. In our office, we create an individualized plan for each patient which details your concerns and gives you options as well as a guide for accomplishing a beautiful, natural result.
How much can be treated with a vial will depend on several factors: Age, Depth of wrinkle, facial size, smoking, sun damage, previous treatment, and weight loss. In a young patient with minimal wrinkles who just wants a little filling I may be able to treat the lips and corners of the mouth and a little in the nasolabial folds with one vial. However, another patient with more sun damage who is a little older or who has lost significant amounts of weight may take 2-3 vials or more to get the desired correction in just the nasolabial folds. If you try to do too little to an area you will frequently be disappointed by the result. Sometimes I will tell patients that we can make a nice start with 2 vials but it may take 3-4 vials to get more complete correction. How much you use will depend on how significant the deformity is and how great of a correction you desire. When you go to a board certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience they should be able to give you a pretty good recommendation based on a thorough exam as to what areas can be treated and what kind of result you should be able to expect and how much it will take to treat the desired areas. Best of luck on your journey
The answer of how much a syringe covers is really dependent on the depth of the area being treated. In some patients, a 1/4 of a syringe will offer adequate treatment of a smile line. In other patients, 2 full syringes may not be enough. Discuss with your injector what product and estimate how many syringes are needed to achieve your aesthetic goals.
One syringe can go quite a long way, but it depends primarily on the amount of correction you want for each area. The depth of the creases, amount of volume in your lips and/or number of areas targeted can all determine how far a single syringe will go. Generally speaking, though, one syringe is sufficient for a moderate improvement of the lips, or a dramatic improvement of both smile lines.
The management of facial contour irregularities varies frompatient to patient and depends on the magnitude of the problem. In some cases, relatively small amounts ofJuvederm can be used to address multiple anatomic areas. In more severe cases, larger amounts ofJuvederm are necessary to adequately correct these problems.It’stherefore important to carefully evaluate each patient and formulate anindividualized treatment plan that addresses their anatomic findings andaesthetic goals.In somecases, it may be possible to treat upper and lower lips, smile lines, and chinlines with a single syringe of Juvederm when the deformity is relatively mild. In other cases, multiple syringes may benecessary when deformities are more severe.It’simportant to discuss these issues with your plastic surgeon. Your surgeon should be able to estimate howmany syringes will be necessary to address your concerns.
Hard to give an opinion without photos. Often volume will help the soft tissue structures of the face. You may wish to globally volumize the face, or address a certain wrinkle. Each patient is different. Choice of substance and placement may vary. Best to see an experienced injector. Tell him/her your issues and lifestyle. Together you will come up with an appropriate decision.
It all depends on the severity of your lines and wrinkles. If they are quite deep, then you'll need more product to fill them in. As a result, a syringe may be able to treat all of these areas, but only if your concern isn't severe.
