Would 1cc of Juvederm be enough for my nasolabial folds? (Photo)

Question

I would like to determine if 1 syringe is enough? Also, I am losing weight, halfway to goal and wonder if I should hold off altogether for the fillers, until I am at goal weight?

Jacob Sedgh, MD · Answer

juvederm 1 cc decided between the 2 nasolabial folds is probably the minimum necessary to see a noticeable effect, you can always add more if the improvement is not enough.

Thanks for your question. 1 syringe of Juvederm is the absolute minimum amount of product you would need. You can feel free to start with this dosage to see if you like the results, but more product may be necessary.

Dear Bronzedream2013, 
  
It is hard to tell from just a picture to determine how much Juvederm would be appropriate for you. However, I usually tell my patients that it is best to be conservative the first time, as you can always add more if deemed necessary. As far as the weight aspect goes, it would have to depend on how much weight you were losing and in what kind of time frame. Once again, you can always add more Juvederm. It is best to consult with a licensed injector and he or she can help you make the best decision for you. I typically use 1-2 syringes for the nasolabial area. I hope this was helpful and good luck!

Yes, this will provide subtle improvement to your nasolabial folds. It will take 1-2 weeks for final results with fillers. Hope this helps.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

A combination approach will give the most improvement. I recommend fillers for the folds themselves but also lifting around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, rf treatments, J Plasma and peels to get the most conservative natural look. Please see a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

I think its quite reasonable to start with 1cc/syringe of Juvederm or other filler for the nasolabial folds ; after 2 weeks, if you'd like more, you can always add more. Make sure only a highly trained expert physician injector such as a dermatologist injects you for optimal results and safety.

Anita Saluja, MD · Answer

It is totally fine to start with 1 cc (one syringe) of Juvederm Ultra Plus in your nasolabial fold and see if you like that amount of correction. It is common to increase to two syringes if a patient desires more result and that can be done a few weeks after or a few months after. If a patient would benefit from cheek bone filler to lift the nasolabial fold, I will recommend this as a consideration for the second syringe. Best to you.

Michele S. Green, MD · Answer

You will definitely have a good result with a single syringe of Juvederm Ultra Plus.  As you lose more weight you may need more filler but it may be in a different area of the face.  I would begin with just the nasolabial folds and then wait to see what happens as you lose more weight. Please consult an expert in Juvederm and cosmetic injections for the best results.  Best, Dr. Green

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

How much is enough depends upon your goals. I prefer to be more conservative and start out with one or so on the NL folds depending upon what the patient desires. You can always add more if you prefer.

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

Will one cc of a filler do the job for your nasolabial folds? It is a good question as the answer depends strictly on the technique that a doctor is using to fill out the folds. With my technique that I have developed over 20 years ago, I can create a result with one syringe where most physicians will need three to four syringes in order to achieve the same result. I would start with the treatment now because when you lose more weight it will require much more fillers to accommodate for the deflation process. Good luck from New York City
