Juvederm cleft chin injections. How long will it last?

Question

I had a pretty deep cleft chin, there wasn't a dimple but more of a dent. I had injections of juvederm to get it less noticible and it's been about 3 days and it's already started to go down and my cleft chin has already started to become noticible again. My question is, because it attracts water, will it become softer/ go down. I paid around 700$ and I actually liked it better when it was more swollen. How will the juvederm develop over time? and when does it usually wear away?

It sounds like you need more Juvederm. What has happened is that the swelling from the actual injections has begun to subside, making it seem as though your Juvederm is going away. This can easily be treated with a touch up injection of Juvederm. When full volume for correction is achieved the results can last you anywhere from  9 months to 1 year.

It sounds like you will need to have more filler injected to get optimal results.  Swelling occurs after injections and usually subsides within 3-4 days.   A full treatment of that area should last you 6-12 months.

Richard Parfitt, MD · Answer

Swelling from hyaluronic acids generally recedes after 3 days and the final result around two weeks.  From there it will continue to break down over the next 8 to 12 months depending on the individual.  It is possible that not enough filler, or not the right combination of fillers were used to give you optimum results.  Using Radiesse and a hyaluronic acid like Juvderem Ultra Plus  together can give the volume needed to smooth out the cleft.  Because the cleft is caused by incomplete fusion of the lower jaw bone, the indentation lies deep and needs considerable volume to fill the cleft. Cleft chins are inherited, considered normal and in some cases, attractive.

Some patients get less than an optimal duration of benefit from some fillers, while others get better than expected.  i have found very good results with injections of the horizontal cleft in the chin using Juvederm horizontally and high up in the dermis. Belotero also works very well for very superficial lines.

Karen Stolman, MD · Answer

I have used Juvederm quite a lot for filling the chin, and it tends to need a repeat or touch-up in less than a year, especially if you talk or chew alot.  It is possible that after having 2-3 treatments, the cumulative collagen stimulation will result in even longer lasting results too.
