How Long Does Juvederm Ultra Plus Last in Lips?

In my practice we’ve gotten away from using Juvederm Ultra Plus in the lips. It tends to have a higher incidence of clumping and other irregularities when used in the lips compared to a product such as Restylane. Restylane is now the only hyaluronic acid filler available which is FDA approved for use in the lips. 

 

Juvederm ultra plus is a hyaluronic acid filler that I frequently use in areas needing additional lift or projection than what Juvederm ultra can provide. I have used this in the lips for patients looking for a fuller, more voluptuous lip if they have the appropriate natural lip contour and surrounding facial and peri-oral structures to balance out a full-bodied lip.  Because it is a little "thicker" than classic Juvederm ultra it tends to last longer. Due to the frequent movement and activity of lips, filler in this area tends not to have the same longevity as other places such as the cheek or tear trough. I usually tell people they can expect ultra plus to last about 8-12 months. I have seen it last a little longer in some people and shorter in others, but 8-12 months is a good ballpark estimate.  

Hi and thank you for your question! While individual results may vary, Juvederm Ultra Plus usually last for up to a year in lips. For longer lasting results, you can try Voluma which typically lasts for up to 2 years. I hope it helps and good luck!
