Hello Doctors! I had my lips filled with 1 syringe in February of '17 and then in May of '17 to slowly get where I wanted to be. It is now August and there is nothing. Even my practitioner noticed and cannot explain it. She suggests using the Juvederm Ultra? These are Very expensive fillers and I do not want to waste money if maybe there is something better or I need to switch practitioners? Any advice is greatly appreciated! :)

Answer: Juvedermin lips If Juvederm XC was metabolized within very few months it would be difficult to expect a different outcome using Ultra or Ultra Plus. There are other options using fillers that should last much longer: Juvederm Voluma, Restylane Lyft or Allofill. The latter one is a different filler than Juvederm and Restylane lines. It is derived from a human fat and may last, at least in theory, much longer than other fillers. Another possibility is your own fat transfer but this must be done using a particular transfer technique; the "standard" fat transfer is quite unpredictable and very difficult to correct. Good luck!

Answer: Lip augmentation with Juvederm In my patients who have had juvederm injected into their lips and I see a quick dissolution of the product, I routinely recommend using Restylane to do the same and it frequently last quite a bit longer than juvederm. Good luck from New York City
