Will my skin sag or stretch after Juvederm dissolves? 1 cc placed in nasolabial folds and marionette lines.

Question

I’m a 30 yr old female. I got 1 cc of Juvederm filler injected into my nasolabial folds/marionette lines. I’m normal weight. This was my first time getting filler. I’m concerned that when the filler dissolves, my skin will sag and be stretched out. I don’t plan on getting filler again so I’m worried it will look stretched out when it dissolves. I read online that this can occur, but only with excessive amounts of filler. I still wanted to be sure my skin won’t sag or be stretched.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi @vanillabeanFrench. Thank you for your questions.  Filler will not "stretch" out or sag your skin once the filler dissolves.

Best of luck,

Dr. Nima

Hello, After the filler has dissolved, your natural aging process will continue. Filler will not "stretch" out or sag your skin. Hope this helps. Good luck with your beauty journey. Always make sure you are seeing a reputable nurse or doctor injector and are fully informed of all risks and benefits before you get injections.

As your body metabolizes the Juvederm your look will gradually return to how it looked prior to treatment.  There will not be additional sagging related to the treatment.  Typically when patients begin to see the effects of the product fade they return to the office for a touch up to maintain the results.

Hello there! That’s a good question. For a first time patient injecting a small amount of filler, who is otherwise healthy and young, I think the risks of causing any skin sagging or deformity after the filler dissolves is very low. I have not experienced this phenomenon in any of my patients. With overall good health and skin care, I think you have very little to worry about. Hopefully this helps!
