I have had my lips injected 4 times Sense August 2017 with Juvaderm Ultra Plus , I really like how they are while swelled which I understand in order to get that as a end result u need to over fill so your left with what u want Post swelling. After the swelling goes down I seem to loose all filler within 2 weeks my body metabliszes it and my lips go back to normal. Any suggestions, Comments Welcome!

It sounds like you need to switch to a different filler. You may also be noticing the swelling that typically goes away at two weeks. See an expert for long lasting results. Good luck. Dr. Aldo

If juvederm didnt last try voluma or fat injections as they last much longer than traditional fillers. Best, Dr. Emer.

This is difficult to answer without before and after pictures. It may be that additional filler is needed to get the results you want. Most Doctors will start with one syringe to avoid over-filling. I recommend following up with your injector about your desired results. I hope this helps.

Thank you for sharing your question.  Unfortunately you did not mention how many syringes of product that you had injected over four times to know why your results are not lasting the typical duration of 4-8 months in the lips.  If you had 2+ syringes I would advocate seeing an additional injector or perhaps changing the product to see if you have longer lasting results. h

Thank you for your question. It difficult to give you advice without seeing photos or examining you in person. However, it seems like additional filler may be needed to get the results you want or may want to try a longer lasting filling next time. I recommend addressing your concerns with your injector. Best of Luck!

I think if it happened, your doctor should bring up some questions as to why they're using the same product if it seems to disappear so quickly. It is possible that Juvederm can be broken down rather quickly in some patients but the next step would be to use a product such as Restylane which will probably last quite a bit longer. Good luck from New York City

Thank you for your question.  This sounds like an unusual scenario but you may metabolize Juvederm extremely quickly.  It may behoove you to try another filler that is manufactured differently.  I would suggest Restylane, which is manufactured differently and may be metabolized differently.  I would also suggest using one syringe at a time and building your lips gradually.  All the best, Alexis Parker MD
