Smoothing lines around the lips with Juvederm

Greetings~ Unfortunately, it is impossible to say without seeing someone how much Juvederm is needed to best address their concerns. That being said, regardless of how much Juvederm is used and how deep the lines are, it is impossible to smooth any lines out completely. For the best results in that area, some patients may require a small amount of Botox along with Juvederm and perhaps even a laser procedure or TCA peel to address the etched in lines. Even when the lines... more

Number of juvederm injections to smooth the skin around the mouth

As pointed out by the other experts, it is impossible to say in advance how many SYRINGES (not NEEDLES) you will need to improve the appearance of the lines around your mouth. Furthermore, you have to understand that the results will be temporary, 6-8 months at best, possibly longer, possibly shorter. Having said that, depending on your age, the size of your face and the depth of the lines, you may need one to 3 or even possibly 4 syringes. The results can be very satisfying to the point... more

Number of Juvederm Injections to Smooth Line Around the Mouth

Juvederm can be injected to fill the nasolabial grooves, the marionette lines, and the mental crease. It is also used to augment the lips and decrease the fine lines of the lips. We describe the volume used (typically 1-3 syringes), not the number of injections which will depend on the technique of the injector. Our goal is to always improve the patients appearance, but rarely do we "completely smooth the deep lines around the mouth".

Amount of Juvederm Necessary around the Mouth

There is no set amount of Juvederm for any one patient. Juvederm adds volume and in doing so, smoothes the lines and softens the contours around the mouth. Depending on your age, the severity of volume loss, and your expectations, the quantity of Juvederm can vary greatly. If you are on a limited budget, please discuss this with your injector before proceeding.

How much Juvederm is needed for correction?

The areas around the mouth that can be treated with Juvederm include the nasolabial folds, the lips, the marionette lines, the labial mental sulcus, and potentially other small lines and wrinkles. Giving a number for the "average" number of syringes necessary is therefore not possible. I typically use anywhere from one to four syringes depending on the number of areas to be treated and the severity of the lines. One important factor with all fillers is to avoid... more
