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. 

 

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!

Juvederm Ultra Plus is a thick filler that normally is not used in the lips due to the likelihood of lumps. Restylane and Juvederm are better choices for placing filler in the lips. Restylane and Juvederm usually last anywhere from 6-9 months in the lips.

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

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 vs Jeuvederm Ultra) and other factors such as underlying medical conditions. For example when placed in muscle for lip augmentation (an off label FDA usage) it does not last as long perhaps 6-8 months. In the cheeks it usually lasts for 6-12 months
