Juvederm Ultra Breaks Down from Day One?

Thank you for your question. Initially, you an undergo some swelling which may last up to 2 wks. Juvederm can last 6 months up to a year in some people and in certain locations.  Hyaluronidase helps break down unwanted fillers. If you're not having problems or pain on your cheeks, I would leave the Juvederm and let it get metabolized naturally to prevent further issues or concerns.   I hope this helps.

Most of the time it is best to allow fillers such as Juvederm to slowly break down rather than use hyaluronidase enzyme to dissolve it. Technically the product does begin to break down from day 1, but the effect is gradual. So when we say that it lasts 6 to 9 months, it doesn't all go way suddenly at that time. In the meantime you will go through a phase where it is just the right amount, but if you dissolve it with hyaluronidase it will all go away quickly.

In general, Juvederm lasts for 6-7 months on average, and sometimes longer. The amount of time it lasts can vary depending on the amount of filler used and the location. Waiting is an option. However, if you are in the hands of a professional, dissolving the filler with hyaluronidase can yield a great result. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.
