Juvederm Dissolved Within 7 Days?

I have had almost 2ml Juvederm Ultra 4 injected in my marionette and nasolabial lines to miraculous effect. The day after (once the swelling had subsided) I was completely thrilled with the results. With every passing day, however, the results declined - and where originally I could feel the "pockets" of filler like a thickening under my skin - this was completely dissolving. Seven days now, and not a trace left. Pictures before and after filler are identical. What happened?

Juvederm Results Not Seen After One Week

Thanks for your question. Sorry to hear that you haven't had a more positive experience. Juvederm is a hylauronic acid filler that softens non-dynamic (think wrinkles not caused by muscles) wrinkles. Typically patients experience some swelling post-treatment that can last anywhere from a day or two to a week. Usually after this swelling subsides patients have a stable improvement in their wrinkles for anywhere from 6 months to a year. It is a little unusual that you don't seem to have lasting results. Sometimes variations in metabolism or depth that the product was injected can make the length of improvement vary. Certainly a week is too quick. Talk to your injector and review the photos. I hope this helps.
