How Much Juvederm Can I Have Injected in One Session?

Question

what is the maximum amount of juvederm ultra that can be injected into the face at any one time? what is the minimum amount of time you have to wait before any more is injected into the same area?

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Facial fillers provide natural restoration of facial contour and volume. They should be performed in a conservative fashion to avoid complications and an unnatural appearance. I typically focus on one or two specific anatomic regions that can be significantly improved by one or two syringes of Juvederm. This allows a quantitative and exacting approach to facial volume and its restoration with facial fillers.
Timing should coincide with the type of injection. Since Juvederm is a non-stimulatory filler, Juvederm injections can be spaced apart by as little as a few days. Preferably, I choose to separate Juvederm injections by several weeks.

Thank you for your question about Juvederm.  The amount of product that can be injected at one time depends on the area/areas that are being treated.  Typically we do not inject more than one syringe in the lips at one time.  Our office recommends waiting 1-2 weeks before being treated again.  This allows the area to heal and any swelling to subside.

To be sure you receive the best treatment, see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.
 
 I hope this helps.

How much Juvederm is needed is highly patient dependent. How much can be injected at one time is highly dependent on the injector. I can tell you that we usually inject no more than a syringe  (o.8 ml) in each cheek and less in other anatomical areas. The number of anatomical areas needed to treat and the depth of the injection (deeper injections allow for more product to be used safely) will determine the maximum that can be injected. We then have patients return in 4-6 weeks to determine if additional injections are required.

Depending on the area that needs to be treated and the sensitivity of the patient's skin, it will help determine the minimum or maximum of Juvederm dosages. After the first session, the doctor will be able to better assess how much you can use.

The question is best answered by knowing what area(s) are being treated.  Although volumizing (ex: cheek hollows) requires several syringes, sometimes the best approach is a conservative approach.  We usually design a treatment plan of two facial areas that we focus on with full correction.  Full correction refers to using the correct amount of product to obtain the best outcome and duration. 

	We then have the patient return in 2 weeks for a check up.  At that time, we discuss additional treatment goals.  By the two week mark, we have a better idea of the end result.  We have used as  many as 3 syringes in one treatment but those are usually far and few in between.  A conservative approach leads to a natural outcome, is better tolerated, is easier on the pocketbook,  and will provide a clearer approach to full correction.
