I get juvederm in my lips and juvederm ultra in my cheeks. My lips havent gone down in the year its been since i last had them done. But the fillers in my cheeks have completely dissolved after 2 months only ! I went back after and got more in my cheeks and again they dissolved in 2 months. Could my teeth grinding be the reason while my cheeks filler won't last ? Also would Juvederm Voluma last longer for me? I would be happy if it could last a year...if not I will have to consider cheek implants.

Answer: Juvederm Ultra. Could my teeth grinding be the reason why my cheek fillers won't last? Thank you for your excellent question. Fillers will vary in duration by person, placement location, and filler material. Typically you can anticipate 3-4 months for the Juvederm whether placed in the lips or cheeks, but this is highly variable. If you liked the results that Juvederm gave you in your cheeks initially, Voluma may be an excellent option as reports have shown continued effects for 2 years or more. Voluma is specifically indicated for the cheek/mid-face region. See a board certified plastic surgeon in consultation to assess your possible results.

Answer: Juvederm not appearing to last Injectable filler longevity varies greatly from person to person and location of injection. In general, fillers tend to not last as long in areas with a high degree of movement. Areas such as the tear trough and cheeks usually last longer than around the mouth. Placement of the filler can also effect the ; deeper injections appear to produce less of a tissue response and results can be less noticeable. The filler may still be present but is not creating the same amount of response. In the cheeks, it is safe to use other fillers such as sculptra or radiesse which may provide a better response.
