How Many Areas Can a Full Juvederm Syringe Cover?

How much can be treated with a vial will depend on several factors: Age, Depth of wrinkle, facial size, smoking, sun damage, previous treatment, and weight loss.  In a young patient with minimal wrinkles who just wants a little filling I may be able to treat the lips and corners of the mouth and a little in the nasolabial folds with one vial.  However, another patient with more sun damage who is a little older or who has lost significant amounts of weight may take 2-3 vials or more to get the desired correction in just the nasolabial folds.  If you try to do too little to an area you will frequently be disappointed by the result.  Sometimes I will tell patients that we can make a nice start with 2 vials but it may take 3-4 vials to get more complete correction.  How much you use will depend on how significant the deformity is and how great of a correction you desire.  When you go to a board certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience they should be able to give you a pretty good recommendation based on a thorough exam as to what areas can be treated and what kind of result you should be able to expect and how much it will take to treat the desired areas.  Best of luck on your journey

The answer of how much a syringe covers is really dependent on the depth of the area being treated.  In some patients, a 1/4 of a syringe will offer adequate treatment of a smile line.  In other patients, 2 full syringes may not be enough.  Discuss with your injector what product and estimate how many syringes are needed to achieve your aesthetic goals.

One syringe can go quite a long way, but it depends primarily on the amount of correction you want for each area. The depth of the creases, amount of volume in your lips and/or number of areas targeted can all determine how far a single syringe will go. Generally speaking, though, one syringe is sufficient for a moderate improvement of the lips, or a dramatic improvement of both smile lines.
