How Long Does Juvederm Last?

K
KCasNov 11, 2008

I've been researching how long Juvederm lasts, but what people say in Juvederm reviews and what the FDA says don't really match up.  Can someone tell me, how long does Juvederm last? Does where you have the Juvederm injections in your face make a difference in how long it lasts?

Hi Cat.  It's interesting how many patients on the realself site do not go back to their injectors immediately with issues like this.  We definitely recommend that you follow up with your injector and compare your before pictures to get a better gauge of what's happening...

It is not necessarily the Juvederm that caused numbness. The needle used to inject the product may have touched a sensory nerve when either filling the lip or numbing the lip. But over time, it should go away so you do not need to worry.

Swelling is common after treatment and can last one or two weeks. It would be best if you book a follow up appointment with your injector in 1-2 weeks, and he/she can massage any residual lumps or bumps at that time. At that time, you can also discuss your results with your injector if you...

Generally, you won't have to pay for your next injection if the leftover syringe is used. However, it may be different where you are. Before you have another treatment, it would be prudent to ask about their policy first.

Hello, Thank you for your question. Juvederm can be used in the cheeks, however it is not the best option. You would want to use a stronger product that is specifically used to add volume v.s a filler. Your money will go a lot further and your results will be more appealing, as well as last...
