Juvederm injections require just a few minutes to perform. Most injections of Juvederm Ultra or Juvederm Ultra Plus, Restylane or Perlane can be performed with little or no pain by administration of local anesthesia just prior to the injection. Injection of the lips is usually completely painless, using intra-oral anesthesia that produces total numbness of the lips. For injection of lines and creases on the face, a local anesthetic solution is used that causes vasoconstriction, decreasing the likelihood of bruising following the injection. Our aim is to provide an immediate and beautiful aesthetic enhancement, with little or no discomfort and downtime.
Prevelle Silk is a new hyaluronic acid based filler that can be used to augment the lips. Prevelle Silk is an attractive option for some first time users. Prevelle Silk contains lidocaine (a numbing agent ) and requires no down time. Prevelle is less expensive than Juvederm, but Juvederm provides a longer lasting result.
For best results, look for a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist with years of experience with a variety of dermal fillers. Be sure to view many before and after photographs. In most offices, many staff members have received dermal fillers in their lips or other areas of the face and would be pleased to share their experience with you.
