I've done fillers in my lips before without problems but a new doctor injected Juverderm in the vermilion border of my lips. ( I didn't know the doctor would do that). I hate the weird effect around my lips. I was hoping that after a few months the product would go away but it's being 18 months since then and I still have the lumpy area surrounding my lips. I am wondering if I got something else injected other than Juverderm considering that it is supposed to last less than one year.

Answer: How Long Does Juvederm Last?
Extensive trials and reports have shown that Juvederm typically dissolves within 6 months to one year after injection. However, anecdotally, many patients have reported feeling the substance up to 3 years later. If you are concerned about the appearance of your lips, I recommend returning to your physician and requesting that they use hyaluronidase to dissolve whatever product may still remain.

Answer: Juvederm lasts one year or less
While you may have the feeling that the filler material is still there, it is highly unlikely that it really is. Juvederm simply doesn't last that long, nor does any known approved hyaluronic acid-based injectable filler. For the sake of discussion, let us assume it is still there. You have now waited 18 months. Rather than having any hyaluronidase injected into the lips, just give it more time. You have waited this long. Just give it a few more months as it is a self-solving concern.
