14 months ago I received a Juvederm injection for my nasolabial folds. Now I’d like to take the Bellafill plunge, but to my surprise the Juvederm still hasn’t worn off completely. I’d estimate the Juvederm has dissipated by at least 60%, and have no idea when it would be completely gone at this point. Can/should I go ahead and book a Bellafill appointment, or would the small traces of Juvederm left negatively affect the outcome (example: being underfilled or having the final result be uneven)?
