Does Juvederm have long-term side effects? Is it easy to dissolve if you're not happy with results?

Juvederm, a hyaluronic acid filler, is a very safe product that is compatible with skin.  It works well, looks good and is safest however when injected by a specialist, such as a cosmetic dermatologist or a plastic surgeon or facial/ocular plastic surgeon who does a lot of injections (not just surgeries.)  If necessary, Juvederm can be dissolved with hyaluronidase.

Juvederm and other filler injections have been performed for over 20 years without any long term sequelae related to the product itself.  In the short term, there can be bruising, swelling, tenderness, lumps and bumps.  In rare cases, fillers can create a granuloma or hard nodule that persists.  Other complications such as compression of a vein or artery are potential complications of anything injected into the face.  Seek out an expert and don't be afraid to ask questions.  Best of luck.

Juvederm will last up to a year to help give fullness. An enzyme is available to remove most of the filler if you choose not to keep it. Long term side effects are minimal, except for the expected filling.
