Number of Juvederm Treatments in a Lifetime?

I had Juvederm injections in my top lip almost a week ago and love the result. However, I am concerned about how long I can carry on having this done for. Is there a maximum number of treatments that I could have over my lifetime?

Premature Question

It is difficult to answer this. Juvederm has not been around long enough. Sometimes, medications may be used for a fairly long period of time before serious complications are noted.

However, a lifetime, hopefully in your case, is a long period of time.
