How many syringes of juvederm would I need to fill in my nasolabial folds. (photos)

Thank you for your
question.It is common for patients to get one or two syringes of Juvederm to soften the nasolabial folds. To be sure what is best for you, see two
or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to
make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have
treatment.

I hope this helps.

Usually about 2 syringes are used for the parentheses lines as a general rule, but this is patient dependent. See a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon for best results with your injections.

Most people use between 1-2 syringes and that is usually enough. You may want to speak to your doctor to see what they recommend for you. Your lines do not look that deep so may be able to get away with only 1 syringe, but see what your doctor feels. 

Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid filler which mimics the natural occuring substance of our intracellular matrix.  Juvederm is soft, pliable and is commonly placed in the nasolabial folds and marionette lines around the mouth.  Juvederm can last up to a year.Getting the right amount of Juvederm is critical for optimal results.  Too little product results in undercorrection and too much product can be unnatural.  In my opinion, the average patient will require one syringe (1.0cc) for each nasolabial fold and marionette line corrected.  Deeper lines may require three or more depending on the desired level of correction.Juvederm makes a wonderful App for smart phones and tablets which can be downloaded.  This App will allow you to take a photo and select one, two, or three syringes of Juvederm to analyze.  I have found it very helpful for my patients.Also, make sure you elect to participate in the Brilliant Distinctions program from Allergan who makes Botox and Juvederm.  Everytime you get Botox or Juvederm you will accumulate points which apply to discounts on future injections.  There is a Brilliant Distinctions App for your phone where you can keep track of your points and when you are due for more product.  

I suggest you go to a facial contouring specialist who isn't going to just recommend a number of tubes but rather proper placement and best technique for a natural look.  With that said, I am rarely injected in the nasolabial folds anymore.  Typically these form because of fat atrophy above and decent of surrounding fat pads.  I suggest you find someone who knows how to contour and shape your face rather than just inject a wrinkle.  Cannula injections can give improvement with little complications.  Best, Dr. Emer.

In your pictures you appear to have mild nasolabial folds. You would likely get a fair amount of correction with one vial. You can download the Juvederm app and it will morph your picture to give you a rough estimate of the correction you would get with one or more vials. 

Thank you for your question about #juvederm #fillers and Naso-Labial folds aka laugh lines or parentheses lines... and thank you for the pictures.First of all, you are considering one of the best products - Juvederm - on the market for all soft tissue volume enhancement.I would normally recommend 1 ml per side (each vial comes in 1ml syringe) for a complete treatment of your naso-labial folds.  I would use juvederm Voluma for the deeper part and Juvederm Volift for the more superficial component.  (I use Volbella for the lips, the nose and for the lid-cheek groove area).  The Vycross Juvederm products last longer than the older products and my #Toronto patients tend to favour the longer-lasting products even if they cost a few extra dollars.If you are looking for something more subtle, or if it is your first time and you want to start slowly, you could consider using one vial and adding 0,5cc per side as a start.Ultimately, you could continue with the #juvederm products for many years or consider #FatGrafting.Hope this helps!Best regards,Dr. Marc DuPere, royal-college certified plastic surgeon

Juvederm is a common filler used to fill in these lines. I use it daily in my practice and patients love the results. It typically will last between 6-9 months. Adding volume to the cheeks will provide a lift, which will ultimately help soften the nasolabial folds. You may need a second syringe for the optimal results. It's best to find a physician who performs Juvederm injections frequently and provide natural looking results.

For you, I'd probably start with 1ml (1 syringe) of Juvederm per side, so 2ml/syringes in total. That said, you could even try 1ml total and see how you like it and can always add another syringe later if not enough.

Thanks for your
question and including your photos as well. As you now see from the answers
that have been given, you can have 1-2 syringes of Juvederm into the nasolabial
folds that will soften them nicely and keep things looking natural which is the
key when we do filler injections. Some will also recommend some volume
correction in the cheeks – if you do this, in many instances, you will see
softening of the nasolabial folds with those injections.
