When do fillers begin to wear off? Gradually over the course of estimated duration, or gradually AFTER the estimated duration?

Asked By:Shortcake83 in Anytown, USA

I understand that particular fillers have different estimates of longevity, & that this can also be dependent on the area of the face injected, so that is not my question. What I'm specifically asking is -- just as an example: if Juvederm Ultra Plus is supposed to last 9-12 mos., does that mean 9-12 of sustained volume that will just begin to wear off after 9-12 mos. --OR-- that it gradually wears off during the course of the 9-12 mos. rendering you back to baseline at the end of 9-12 mos.?
