2.5 years later - Juvederm Plus won't go away, how long until it dissolves on its own?

March 2, 2017
Asked By:alm28 in Alameda, CA

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. I'm scared to use the treatment to dissolve it, but it won't go away! Some days it's puffier than others.
