Can Juvederm 3 or 4 Be Used in Lips?

Question

I've heard using 3 or 4 is better than 2 because their longevity is greater than 2. I this safe and acceptable practice?

Sam Naficy, MD, FACS · Answer

In the US we do not have Juvederm 2,3,or 4 We have Juvederm Ultra and Ultra Plus. 4 May be like the newest one,Voluma. All of these can be used in lips, so it depends on how much volume you desire. 3 or Juvederm Ultra Plus is probably the most common. Consult your provider for a personalized evaluation.

Kimberly Lee, MD · Answer

If you are concerned about longevity of the lip augmentation, you may want to consider using lip implants.Implants are a more permanent solution, and can be reversed at a later time if you so desire.

	 

	Fillers are a more temporary solution and need to be performed every 6-9 months or so.  Both options are popular in my practice and give a very natural appearing result.

	Please consult with a board certified specialist who can better assist you in achieving the results you seek.

There are in fact different types of Juvederm. I believe you are referring to Juvederm Ultra (3) or Ulta Plus (4) In fact I almost never use anything other than Juvederm Ultra Plus (from Allergan) or Perlane (from Medicis) in the lips. If I want plumping I use Juvederm UP and if I want more definition I use Perlane

I am unsure what your question is.... in the U.S. there is Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus. The difference doesn't have to do with the longevity of the product, but the bond of the particle size. I would NEVER put 3 or 4 syringes of either of these into someone's lips. Not ever.
