Does Volbella in tear troughs last 2-4 years?

This hyaluronic acid filler should last about 12 months in most areas.  It would be considered off label in the tear trough area.  Voluma has a 24 month duration and Bellafill has the longest FDA approved indication at 5 years.

Thank you for sharing your question.  Though all fillers vary in duration based on the location of placement, as well as the amount placed, Volbella is unlikely to last 2-4 years.  I would hazard 1-1.5 years.  If unhappy with your results, you can have it dissolved with hyaluronidase.  Hope thi helps.

Volbella may last for about a year. Consult with your doctor to know more about this. A board-certified and experienced doctor will be able to determine the reason for this reaction.

In general, Volbella results last about a year. Longer on some patients and longer in certain areas. Filler under the eyes tends to last awhile but 2-4 years seems like a stretch. However, it's such a new filler.... who knows.

Thank you for
your question skeptical. Volbella
is a hyaluronic acid filler designed to enhance the lips. It can also be used in other areas off-label. The pivotal studies demonstrated that most patients enjoy their results for approximately one week when injected in the lips. Such studies have not been performed in the tear trough area but I would estimate that patients would enjoy their results for 6-12 months. Please
consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

I would only use hyaluronic acid based fillers for the tear trough (they are reversible if need be), and my preference is for restylane or restylane fine lines as I think there is a bit less swelling and movement of the filler. Volbella is a good filler too, but not my preference. The tear trough fillers last the longest of any location on the face, and I promise most people at least 1 year, although many get longer (e.g. 2 years).

I prefer to use Teosyl Redensity II for the tear troughs as it is the only filler in Canada that is actually approved for this specific area. The product seems to last from 6-9 months on average. Volbella can last for up to 12 months.

I don't use volbella.   The duration of HA fillers depends on the location,   plain restylane in the lower lids last for a minimum of 2 years, which is what I tell patients,  and I have seen it go up to 4.  This is a consistent finding. The advantage of HA fillers is that they can be dissolved with an enzyme called Hyaluronidase.  I would be cautious about using the latest generation of HA fillers from Allergan, they are formulated to not dissolve easily with that treating enzyme and you might be stuck with an irreguoarity that you can't get rid of.

I always quote 12-18 months at most. Voluma, usually 18 -24 months but Volbella definitely not 2-4 years. All the bestDr Davin Lim Laser and aesthetic dermatologistBRISBANE, Australia.
