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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...
