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.?

Answer: When do fillers wear off? Typically, dermal fillers our gradually broken down over time. The longevity of the product depends on the individual rate in which your own body breaks down the product and the location of the product. If a product is anticipated to last 9 months or so it will begin wearing off during this time.

Answer: When do fillers wear off? Good question. This really depends of the type of filler. If it is a non collagen stimulating filler, such as HA filler, the body immediately causes swelling of the filler with moving water into the filler. There is some minimal inflammatory response too, which creates a small amount of collagen, even in these products. Gradually the body breaks the HA down. Everyone has a different rate of break down. The estimated durations are based on how long the effect is noticeable, so breakdown starts much earlier. For collagen stimulating fillers, the body's first response is to cause increased volume by creating collagen around the filler. Eventually the body will breakdown the filler (Sculptra, Radiesse) and the effect of the volume is reduced. In the case of Bellafill, the body is unable to break down the PMMA, and the effects are permanent. The more movement in an area, the shorter the duration and the faster the breakdown of the product.Please see blog for more details.
