TOPIC: Any updates regarding Ellanse longevity?

I had Ellanse 4 years and 3 months ago, it was the 4-year version (I understand that only the 2 year version is now available). I have not to date seen any decrease (gain was 0.5"). I am wondering what updates you may have by now regarding how long your patients have gone past the manufacturer quoted longevity (e.g. 2 years for Ellanse-M) before seeing any decrease? I had mine done with Dr. Kearney, very satisfied. I'm asking here since I will likely go to Avanti Derma for a 2nd round. Also, if I gained exactly 0.5" from 12ml, would it be reasonable to expect 0.25" should I only do 6ml? I'm considering only 6 to 8ml, especially if I've not lost anything by the time I get to it. Thank you!

I have this same question.

I think I am pushing up on 5 years ( ish ) since my first round. - no loss what so ever.

Hello @think

Well, we've been using Ellansé for GE for about 3-4 years now and it is true that longevity lasts longer than what the manufacturer claims. In fact, I don't think we have treated a patient so far where Ellansé has been completely absorbed before a second round.

I had mine done with Dr. Kearney, very satisfied. I'm asking here since I will likely go to Avanti Derma for a 2nd round. Also, if I gained exactly 0.5" from 12ml, would it be reasonable to expect 0.25" should I only do 6ml? I'm considering only 6 to 8ml, especially if I've not lost anything by the time I get to it.

Gains are something we can't control, however, it sounds kinda obvious that if Dr. Morales distributes 6-8 cc's all over your shaft the increase can be lesser than with 12 cc's.
