How long does Juvederm Ultra 3 last?

Question

I got my Lips injected with juvederm ultra 3 last year on December and it still does look like on day 1 After one year. I Really Want the Lip Filler to disolve By itself without a dissolver. How Long could it take to dissolve by itself?

Monika Soni, MD · Answer

Juvederm Ultra 3 is not sold in the US. Allergan who makes it did not get FDA approval for it. There is 2,3,4 approved in Canada and Europe for fine, medium and deep wrinkles. Allergan did not get FDA approval for this and did for their Vycross line of product: Vollure, Vollbella and Voluma. That being said, almost all injectors will inject off label but the question here is where did they learn these techniques as the company can only teach on label uses. Those with detailed surgical training likely learned from someone respectable whereas others: who knows. Finally there are doctors who get follers that aren't available in the US from overseas, you will never know if this is legitamite or not and if there are issues with the product itself you might be in trouble.

For most patients the filler typically lasts 6-9 months for lip injections.  Some may metabolize the product more slolwy.  If you wish to have it dissolved see your injector.

While the majority of people will see that the Juvederm is gone after 8-12 months, the duration of presence is extremely variable.  I have seen it last only 1 month in some individuals, and as long as 3-1/2 years in another! 
If you do not like its appearance and it is still present in December, you should seriously consider having it dissolved with hyaluroidase.
Note: people who work out often and a lot, or who have insufficiently treated hyperthyroidism and higher rates of metabolism, generally burn through hyaluronic acid fillers and neurotoxins faster than average.

Hi there,
So short answer is 6-12 months. Generally it lasts longer in the face over the lips and longer in younger than older people. Those are not steadfast rules. There can be a range and ofcourse it doesn't all of a sudden disappear overnight.

As far as resorption of fillers is concerned it depends strictly on the individual who has had the treatment performed in them. I have had patients whose Juvederm has lasted them 6 months and I have patients where Juvederm has lasted many years. If you want the Juvederm to be gone sooner you may resort to using hyaluronidase administered by plastic surgeon. Good luck from New York City
