I had 1 cc of Juvederm at the beginning of July and I was happy with the results. 3 days later it looked like nothing was there. Then 2 weeks later, I had another cc injected into upper & lower lips again. The first 2 days after injection were perfect! Then two days later they deflated significantly. 3 months have gone by I am going back for more. My question is, should I get one or two more syringes in the upper and lower lips? I want the look of when they are swollen to be the final result.
Answer: Filler Thank you for your question.Fillers injected to the lips never last as long as other areas of the face. Juvederm Ultra Plus can last a little longer than Juvederm Plus, so be sure which product that is being injected. Also, you may just need a larger amount injected to acheive your desired results. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.I hope this helps.

Answer: Juvederm for the Lips It seems like you need more product. Juvederm is the ideal filler for the lips. Likely, the reason you like the way it looks directly after the procedure is because the lips are swollen in addition to being filled. Once the swelling goes away, you're probably noticing that it is not enough. I would start with 1-2 syringes at first and then see you back in 2 weeks to see if we need to do more. By working together, you will be able to achieve the look you want. Good luck!

Answer: Filling the Lips Can Be a Challenge There is no magic answer to that question. JUVÉDERM Ultra Plus might be a better choice for you instead of the JUVÉDERM Ultra. Ultra Plus is thicker and will give you a fuller and longer-lasting result. It is not unusual to have to add more filler after the swelling subsides. Fillers also last longer in different areas of the face. The lips have strong muscles that move more than other muscles in your face. The more aggressive motion will cause the filler to dissipate more than if it were placed in areas with less muscle motion. That could also explain why the filler doesn't last long in your lips. Talk to your provider about your goals. Best of luck.

Answer: Proceed with Caution Hi... even though you want the "swollen" result to be your actual long term result I would encourage and counsel you to go slowly and progressively to obtain the long term look you want. There is no magic number of syringes it may take but placing them one at a time to build up to the look you want is likely to be the best and most appropriate way to get you you to where you would like to be. Hope this helps.J. Wethe, M.D.

Answer: Juvederm for lips If you were injected with Juvederm Ultra last time, perhaps you need Juvederm Ultra Plus this time. Juverderm Ultra plus is thicker and typically lasts longer than Juvederm Ultra. Depending on the size of your natural lip and the desired size you could need anywhere from 1 syringe to 3 syringes, however I would not inject more than 2 syringes at a time. Lip augmentation is an art and the results are dependent as much on the injectors technique as they are on the amount injected.
