How long does it take for Juvederm to go away

It is unusual for Juvederm to last longer than 9-10 months. It is even more unusual for it to cause difficulty in eating or talking. It is possible that your symptoms, as described may not have anything to do with the Juvederm injections. (or was there something other than Juvederm injected along with or instead of it) I suggest that you see a Board Certified Dermatologist or/and Ear Nose and Throat specialist to try to come to a proper diagnosis. A small skin biopsy (2.5mm... more

Juvederm in lips

Most juvederm products will dissolve in about one year.  If it is still present injection of hyaluronidase may help to faciitate the resorption.

Full lips

Juvederm and Restylane do go away usually by one year. I do have some patients who retain some, not all of the filler, for more than a year, but these are not permanent fillers.  If you had one of these fillers, and not Artefill or some other filler that might be considered a longer term filler from overseas which is not approved here in the U. S., then hyaluronidase injections should help dissolve the Restylane or Juvederm.

Juvederm for lips

I was part of the Juvederm trial for the nasolabial folds (the creases that run from the corner of the nose to the corner of the mouth) before Juvederm was released.  It was not unusual to see the effect of the Juvederm last over 9 months in that area.  However, due to the increased movement of the lip area, I have never seen it last in the lips as long as in the nasolabial fold.  For your lips to be full 1.5 years after Juvederm treatment is unusual.  This could... more

Juvederm

Juvederm in the lips should not last long. Max 3 months. However I have seen fillers sta long. sEE A BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON( AMERICAN BOARD OF PLASTIC SURGERY) For proper diagnosis and treatment. It could be juvederm and thus can be disolved with an injection or two.

Long Lasting Juvederm in Lips, or Is It Even Juvederm?

Hi Egomaniac, In some patients Juvederm may last for much longer than the usual amount of time.  Many patients are happy when this occurs as they have the correction that they desire without having to incur the pain and expense of having further Juvederm injections.  In your case since you are dissatisfied, I would advise you to find an expert injector physician and have injections to dissolve the Juvederm.  If it does not dissolve, then you must consider the... more

Juvederm in the lips lasts about 6 months

After 1.5 years there will be no Juvederm left in your lips. The swelling may be due to an allergic reaction. I advise you to consult with a dermatologist.

Juvederm on the lips usually last 4-6 months

I am surprised your Juvederm lasted more than one year-- it makes me question whether it was indeed Juvederm that was injected or if something else is going on.   Juvederm is FDA approved for smile lines (nasolabial folds), though many of us use it off label on the lips, under eyes, etc.  In the FDA trial, Juvederm on average lasted about 9 months along the nasolabial folds.  Our experience is that Juvederm only lasts about 4-6 months in the lip area.  This is... more
