Juvederm Lips: Are Lips Going to Return to Their Original Shape After 4-6 Months or Will They Ever Be the Same?

Question

Sanusi Umar, MD · Answer

It really depends on the volume of Juvederm that you received, but in general, yes, your lips
	should go back to normal after about six months. Keep in mind, though, that during that time
	your body&rsquo;s natural aging process will go on as usual and so you may notice that you look more
	aged as the results wear off. Your lips will return to their original shape, so if you are interested
	in maintaining their fullness you will need to schedule another Juvederm application with your
	doctor. Some people have reported not needing another treatment for up to a year after their
	initial injection, so it really depends on your body and individual needs.

Ron Shelton, MD · Answer

In some patients the hyaluronic acids, Restylane and Juvederm, can last up to one year or more, even in the lips. It doesn't last with the same volume as was initially injected as most of it does dissolve. If someone is unhappy with their lip filling, the persistent filler can be extracted with a tiny needle by the physician (don't try this yourself!) or by injecting hyaluronidase.

Frances Jang, MD · Answer

Juvederm is an injectable dermal filler applied to enhance areas of depleted volume. The lips are a very common treatment area, with results ranging from subtle to dramatic, depending on your natural size and desired outcome. In my experience, Juvederm, like all dermal fillers, varies in its duration of results depending on which area of the face is injected. Dynamic areas like the lips, which are in constant motion (due to talking, chewing, etc.), tend to last an average of nine months to a year before requiring a touchup. I have also seen studies where a longer term result may be experienced as the repeated needle stimulation during the treatment stimulates your body&rsquo;s natural collagen remodeling. In my practice, this has been observed in patients who have had repeated treatments. Consult with a Cosmetic Dermatologist in your area that has ample experience in the use of dermal fillers, as this is a very artistic process, and results will vary based on the experience and technique of the injector, as well as the product used.

Juvederm enhancent of lips is only temporary. Like a haircut, the lips will return to where they were over time.

	Hyaluronidase can be used to dissolve the filler if you are unhappy.

Steven Hacker, MD · Answer

The effects, wanted or unwanted, from Juvederm last typically 6-12 months. In my experience, dynamic areas such as the lips are areas will Juvederm tends to last the shortest and may even be less than 6 months.
