I've had Restylane, Perlane, and Juvederm 2,3 and 4 in my lips. None has lastest for more than 6 months, and I'm getting tired of having to redo it so often. I saw that Voluma is for large-area volumizing like the cheeks. But it is the same product as what's in the other Juvederms, only a thicker formulation, and it's supposed to last 18 months...so, why not in the lips? I have not been able to find any documentation about it's use in the lips. thank you.

Answer: Voluma for the Lips: Last Longer than other Fillers? Thank you for your question. Voluma is a very good filler for your cheeks and midface. It is a bit of a larger molecule, so it is usually placed deeper in the skin, (subdermal). The sales people will tell you it lasts about 2 years. In our experience it last about a year and a half. It is not FDA approved for the lips. As far as Juvederm Ultra Plus, (which we like for the nasolabial folds), and Juvederm Ultra, (which we like for the lips), the sales people will tell you it lasts about a year, in reality about 9 months. Every person is different so it can last a longer or shorter time period, depending on the patient. It has been our experience that some folks that are hypermetabolic, (in the gym twice a day, etc.), tend to break down Botox and Fillers faster. Each individual is different though. Please see a well trained, experienced injector. Discuss your goals, and you should be able to come up with a plan.Jeffrey J.

Answer: Voluma for the Lips: Last Longer than other Fillers? Although Voluma supposedly lasts longer than other fillers, it is not approved for augmenting the lips.

Answer: Best lip filler In my experience, Juvederm Volbella lip filler gets the best results with minimal swelling. Voluma can be used but gives a much bigger and harder look -- more voluminous. They both have a special technology called Vycross allows the filler to be injected in single strands which holds less swelling and is much smoother than most fillers. It lasts for up to a year with only one treatment. We can also gage how much plump you'd like because of the specific formula.
