What are the age restrictions for lip fillers/injections like Juvederm? (Photo)

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi @soomsam29! This was a great question. You must be 18 years or older to receive fillers. I recommend seeking treatments from expert injectors who have the skill and experience to precisely inject fillers into treatment areas and avoid risks and complications.

I appreciate your question and photos. Yes, you can have lip filler when you are 18. Make sure you work with a very experienced, qualified injector who understands that less can be more when injecting this area. It takes a great deal of precision and expert technique to produce the most natural look in the lips. An experienced injector should be able to achieve a very nice result for you.

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes, you an get lip filler at 18. Please be sure to go to an injector with a lot of experience at a reputable clinic, and definitely talk to them about the look that you are trying to achieve. Keep in mind that lip fillers can last anywhere from 6-12 months so you really want a result that you'll be happy with. That said, hyaluronic acid based fillers are dissolvable in case you're not satisfied with your final result. It takes anywhere from 1-2 weeks for the filler to settle and for any bruising or swelling to subside so you won't necessarily see your final result immediately following your treatment.

The age studied by the makers of Juvederm (Allergan) is 21 and up. With this being said, many providers will still treat a patient 18 years and older with verbal and written consent.
