Can Juvederm Vollure XC be used in other parts of the face besides the lips?

Question

I have got lip fillers before with juvederm, but this time my doctor is recommending Juvederm vollure bcuz it lasts longer. I plan on getting 1 syringe, but I was wondering if it can be used on other parts other than my lips? Last time I had fillers I got the lip look I wanted to achieve in half a syringe so the rest of my money & product was thrown away. This time can I use the rest of the syringe in areas like, for example..my chin, cheeks, under eyes, or non surgical nosejob?

Excellent question.  Thank you.
Vollure is the latest addition to the Juvederm family of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers using Vycross technology.  In this way it is similar to Voluma and Volbella.  It is a uniquely balaned gel that is extremely soft and versatile.  It is FDA approved to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds for up to 18 months.  My patients are extremely satisfied with the long lasting, smooth results.
As always, an in-person consultation with a board certified dermatologist with cosmetic training is the best way to assess your needs and provide medical advice.

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Vollure can be used in other parts of the face including the smile lines and lower eyes.  It is not as good for either the cheeks or nose as thicker fillers like Voluma tend to work better.  Hope this helps.

Juvederm dermal fillers instantaneously lift cheeks, fill hollow areas under eyes and around temples, eliminate deep lines and folds around your mouth, plump your lips and restore jawline definition. The injections, which take 15-30 minutes to administer are virtually painless with no downtime and attractively natural results. Consult your doctor to know more.

Vollure can be used in other areas of the face, such as the nasolabial folds.  It is best to consult with your injector regarding your specific needs prior to receiving your treatment so you both are on the same page.  Always seek treatment from a qualified physician.

Often a particular filler receives FDA-approval for 1 particular area, but is used in real life "off label" for other areas.  In the case of Vollure, its approval is for naso-labial folds, not specifically for the lips- but neither is Juvederm.  And yet, both Vollure and Juvederm may work equally well for lip filling.  Reportedly, Vollure lasts longer so you may want to try it.  On the other hand, if you were very satisfied with Juvederm, I would not change course.  To answer your other question: any unused filler can be injected in other parts of the face, such as the cheeks and nasolabial folds, if needed.  (I do not recommend using it under the eyes for dark circles.)  As you can see, there's a lot of "gray" area here and therefore it's so very important that you speak with your injector to get a full understanding of why he/she has chosen Vollure, and what other facial regions he/she can use it for.  Enjoy!  Be well!

Any filler approved in the USA by the FDA for one area (the 'on label' indication) can be used in other areas at the discretion of your physician ('off label' use).  Whether a particular filler is appropriate for an area on your face depends on the characteristics of the filler and of that area.  Vollure can be used similarly to Juvederm Ultra in other areas of the face.  But because of the vycross technology it generally swells less and lasts longer.  So you can certainly have your physician use it in other areas.  However, be aware that if you need more lift, you might be better off with Voluma or if you want more subtle lips with Volbella.  If your lips are your primary concern, volbella comes in a half size syringe specifically for use in the lips.  It will however be more subtle than juvederm was.  As a NY cosmetic dermatologist and woman, I prefer the more subtle 'looks like you just applied lip gloss' aesthetic for lips than a big pout so I use quite a bit of volbella in my own practice and have it in my lips.I hope this answer was helpful.  Best wishes.

Yes, Juvederm Vollure XC can be used for other areas of the face like smile lines; basically the same uses as Juvederm Ultra.  The difference is that Vollure is softer, smoother and can last up to 18 months, longer than Ultra.  Hope that helps.
