Juvederm and Lip Augmentation

Juverderm, like Restylane, is a hyaluronic acid. This is a naturally occuring sugar in our bodies, so it is easily accepted by the body and not likely to create a reaction like you can get with man-made synthetic agents like silicone and Artefill. Juvederm and Restylane work very well for lip enhancement, and while not FDA-approved for this use, I feel they are very safe and effective and I use them daily in my practice. Your lips are sensitive and, when injected, can be painful. Many... more

Lisa Rinna lips - not... expectations for Juvederm lip augmentation

Augmentation of the lips should be subtle. A small increase goes a long way and gives a natural, sexy fullness to the lips. Your lips should not arrive in a room before you. You should discuss what you'd like your lips to look like. Do you want more body in your lips, more definition of the edges of the lips, or both? Your upper lip should be smaller than your lower lip (70% the size of the lower lip). The lower lip should not be filled all the way to the corner (oral commissure) to... more

Juvederm in the lips can augment them and make them plumper

Juvderm in the lips works great if you want a really large pouty lip. You should be careful if you have thin lips because Juvederm is a thick hyaluronic acid injection. But, if you want larger lips, then Juvederm will be very effective for you. Just remember to numb with a topical anesthetic one hour before.

Juvederm® for lip augmentation

The Background Juvederm® is an excellent material for lip augmentation. It is made out of hyaluronic acid, a substance that is found naturally in the intra- and extracellular matrices of our bodies. Juvederm® is derived through a synthetic process by Allergan, the maker of Botox®. Juvederm® provides and even volumetric enhancement (plumping) of the lips because it is hydrophilic (attracts water), which helps prevent lumpiness. The Procedure Juvederm® is administered... more

Juvaderm in the Lips

Juvaderm is probably the best product for lip plumping (i.e. when people want bigger and fuller lips).  It can, however, be used elsewhere in the face, especially in the lower part around the mouth.  I have some pictures of Juvaderm in the lips on my before and after gallery, please access it.  As long as you are conservative, the overall look is full and very natural.  You can get really big lips if you want, but subtle enhancement is usually what people  are... more

Juvederm is one of the fillers used for lip augmentation...

Juvederm is one of the fillers used for lip augmentation. This is an off-label use of Juvederm, which is FDA approved for use in the deep lines around the mouth. Restylane is also used for lip augmentation. While lip augmentation is an off-label use of these products, they are very safe products and give beautiful, natural-looking results. During the procedure, the doctor will use local anesthesia to make you comfortable. I inject my patients while they are sitting up, so that I can see... more

Expect great lips with Juvederm!

You can expect to get some great lips from your Juvederm! Your doctor may inject local freezing to numb your lips prior to injecting the Juvederm or may use ice packs to decrease the sensation of the needle in your lips. Likely you will be asked to lie down on an exam table and usually the top lip injections are done first. There are several different methods for actually injecting the Juvederm but each involves multiple small needle pokes - so be patient and try not to flinch with the... more

Juvederm - lips

Juvederm is great for the lips!  In my practice in Beverly Hills I do a lot of "lip plumping".  One thing you should talk to your surgeon about before "plumping" is the look you want.  I prefer a more natural look where the lips look full but not fake.  As a woman - I understand your desire to have full lips!  If you go to an experienced injector who communicates well with you and understands your aesthetic goals - you will enjoy the results... more

Juvederm and other hyaluronic acid fillers are great for lip augmentation

Juvederm, Juvederm Ultra Plus, and Restylane are excellent treatments for lip augmentation when done properly and conservatively. Subtle injections maintaining the normal anatomy of the lips can result in very natural appearing, plumper lips. It is also a great treatment for patients with a "gummy" smile. That is people whose lips don't cover their gums when smiling. However, there are some key points to understand when undergoing lip augmentation with fillers. Lips have a natural... more

Lip Augmentation with Juvederm

Juvederm is a naturally-occurring injectable agent ideal for lip enhancement. It can also be used to soften facial lines and creases. We have found Juvederm Ultra, and Juvederm Ultra Plus to be very well tolerated, and have yet to encounter an allergic or inflammatory response to any of these products. Juvederm does NOT contain any material that does not naturally occur in soft tissues, such as hydroxyapetite or methylmethacrylate, which can result in granuloma (cyst) formation and... more

Juvederm is an ideal facial filler for lip augmentation

Juvederm and Restylane are ideal fillers for the lips and soft tissues of the face. They both pose little harm as they are readily absorbable over relatively short periods of time and have a smaller risk of developing permanent granulomas. Lip augmentation is a highly gratifying procedure performed in the office. The ultimate outcome of the lip injection depends on technique and type of filler. Unlike other fillers such as radiesse, artefill, and silicone, the hyaluronic acid fillers have... more

Juvederm great filler for the lips

Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm are often used to create fuller lips. Please note that this is an 'off label' use in the United States but is safely done. It is best to start small and go larger. The last thing you want is to get a set of duck bill lips from Juvederm injections. It is easier to get one vial or less injected in the upper and lower lips combined and come back in a week for additional injection if you desire than to get too much injected and have an abnormal look for... more

Juvederm is awesome in the lips!

At Skin Speaks Spa M.D., Juvederm Ultra is now our #1 choice for providing fuller, softer, and beautiful lip enhancements. Juvederm is often used alone and is capable of shaping and correcting the borders, the columns, and the cupids bow, and is ideal for adding the volume! Our patients have been much more satisfied with the Juvederm experience, both in the enhancement and the life of the treatment. On rare occasions, we may combine the use of collagen, and in some cases, Juvederm Ultra... more

Juvederm for fuller lips

Juvederm and Restylane can both be used to achieve fuller, luscious lips. In fact, Restylane is now FDA approved for lip injections. Both products are safe, based on experience. The results tend to last around 6 months and most patients come back for more (because they love how they feel after).

Juvederm for lips

Juvederm works very well for lip augmentation. If done carefully, it is easy to inject; it flows easier than Restylane. It has to be injected in the body of tjhe lip as well as in the vermillion border. The ratio of the lower lip to the upper lip should be 3/2 Without nerve block or dental block, the injections can be extremely painful. We use nerve blocks in our offices. Allways make sure that you are being treated by an experienced, Board... more

Juvederm for Lips is an Excellent Choice

Juvederm tends to be one of the smoothest dermal fillers, making it ideal for augmenting or defining the lips in my opinion. Lips are sensitive, so it can be painful, however, I use the Juvederm XC formulations at my practice, which contain lidocaine to greatly enhances the comfort levels and require no waiting, which is nice for patients in a hurry. I used to use nerve blocks, however since the XC formulations became available, I have not done a single nerve block. I use a... more

Juvederm and Restylan are the most popular dermal fillers today

Juvederm and Restylane are now the most popular dermal fillers around today. The reason you don't see it advertised for fuller lips is because it is only one of the uses for it, and it is not commercialized for lips. Contact your dermatologist or plastic surgeon to determine if this is an option for you

Newport Beach Juvederm

Juvederm is an excellent filler to "plump" the lips especially in the hands of a skilled injector. With all fillers it is important to have the proper placement and the right amount of filler added to enhance your lips and not change them entirely. I personally prefer a natural approach to fillers and am not a fan of the "duck bill" appearance we see to often on television. Make sure in plumping that you discuss your requested aesthetic appearance and that you and your physician on are the... more

Juvederm and Lip Augmentation

Juvederm is great for increasing the fullness of the lips. The reason they don't show it on the commercial and/or on the website is because injecting Juvederm intro the lips is considered "off-label use" by the FDA. Juvederm is used all the time by Doctors who choose to inject the Juvederm into the lips for increasing volume/fullness. It injects smoothly and results are always very nice and natural.

Juvederm for lip enhancement should be conservative.

Any of the HA fillers work nicely for temporary (6-9 months) lip enlargement, but the injector (physician or nurse) should be experienced, careful, and conservative. There may be some minor (occasionally more severe) bruising associated with the actual needle sticks, but this reabsorbs just like any bruise does. (This is also why it is a good idea to NOT take aspirin or ibuprofen 2 weeks before multiple injections in a very vasculare area such as the face or lips!) Ice, elevation, and... more
