I had Juverderm Plus injected into my upper and bottom lips in August/November 2014. I don't know the exact amount. Just know that I used 1 complete syringe, and then almost a compete 2nd syringe. The injector placed too much in my top lip. Over 2 years later, the filler has barely dissolved much. How much longer before it's gone? I thought it would've been completely dissolved by a year.
