How Long Does Juvederm Smile Last in the Lips?

In the United States two forms of the dermal filler Juvederm are available.  They are Juvederm Ultra for more superficial lines, and Juvederm Ultra Plus for deeper folds.  Both types also come in a "XC" variety where the local anesthestic lidocaine has been added to them.  I typically prefer to use Juvederm Ultra Plus XC in the lips, and it usually lasts around six months.  There are some studies that reported a longer duration of effect for Juvederm, but usually these papers are referring to patients who were treated in the nasolabial fold region, not the lips.  Dermal fillers just don't tend to last as long in the lips because of the frequent movements.

The length of time that Jeuvederm lasts depends on a number of factors such as location it is placed, the technique, type of Jeuvederm (e.g. Jeuvederm vs Jeuvederm Plus) and other factors such as underlying medical conditions. When placed for lip augmentation it usually lasts 6-8 months depending on your body's metabolism and how much product was used. 

Juvederm lasts 6-9 months when used for lip enhancement, although it can be metabolized faster by some patients. It can also last longer!
