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
Juvederm® is administered...

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...

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...

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...

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.

Plumper Lips with Juvederm
Juvederm in the lips is an "off label" area to treat, but one that is routinely done in doctor's offices. I recommend using a hyaluronic acid gel based product for the lips. Either Juvderm or Restylane for the best results.

Juvederm for Non-Surgical Lip Augmentation
Juvederm, or other hyaluronic acid fillers (HAs) like Restylane or Belotero, can be used for non-surgical lip enlargement. This can add volume and improve the shape or symmetry of the lips. The way that HAs work is by attracting and binding water molecules, thus "plumping" the tissues. The injection process can be significantly improved by local nerve blocks with an anesthetic and the use of the newer filler formulations that have a numbing medicine mixed in with the filler. This is a...

Juvederm in Lips
Juvederm is a great product to use along the lip line to give a natural result that does not come across as fake or “implant” like. Juvederm and Restylane both have products combined with lidocaine to ease the sensitivity of injections in the lip area. The key to treating the lips is to create a natural 3-dimensional appearance.

Juvederm and Restylane are my top choices for lips
The advantage of Juvederm is that it probably will last a little longer than Restylane. A disadvantage is that can occasionally be unpredictable. Because it tends to absorb water, it can swell after placement.
For this reason I prefer Restylane, but have Juvederm available on request. One current advancement has been the introduction of the microcannula, a blunt tipped alternative to needles. Making a small poke on the side of the lips, this blunt...

Juvederm vs lip implants
A better option for you could be lip implants. The perma lip implants are soft and safe. This is usually done in an office setting under local anesthesia. This will give you excellent results.

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 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 tends to be one of the smoothest dermal fillers, making it ideal for augmenting or defining the lips in my opinion.

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.

Make sure in plumping that you discuss your requested aesthetic appearance and that you and your physician on are the...

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...

Juvederm lips
Yes, you can use Juvederm to get fuller lips. The reason you see advertisements only for Juvederm's use in the nasolabial folds (the "parentheses" around the mouth, or "smile lines") is that's what Juverderm is approved for by the FDA. But we can choose to use it off-label for any other reasonable purpose, so it's commonly used for lip augmentation. It's a nice option in the lips, because it's soft, and because it's reversible if...

Juvederm lips
I do only two things to make lips fuller.1) I do dermalfat graft transplants from the suprapubic area to the lips. I invented this proceedure 15 years ago and it gets great results that are permanent and natural looking using your own tissue. 2) if someone wants an easier and cheaper approach I inject Juvederm into the lips themselves for fullness and get a great result for 4-6 momths.

Juvederm enhances the lips beautifully
I like the consistency of Juvederm Ultra for lip augmentation. It is a smooth gel, that deposits into the lip tissue easily, allowing one to outline the lips and add substance in the areas of the pillows and philtrum to give a fuller, more pleasing appearance.

Juvederm is a great choice for lip enlargement
Juvederm Ultra is relatively soft and diffuses away from the site of injection to a greater extent than Restylane, Perlane, or Juvederm Ultra Plus. This makes it a very effective material for lip enlargement.
For deep vertical lip lines, I prefer Restylane, as it stays more localized to the exact size of injection.

Is Juvederm good for lips?
If you are a good candidate, yes. If you are not a good candidate you could end up with overly pouty lips.
The way to tell is is to hold your mouth slightly open, slack jaw. If you cannot see the upper front teeth you will get trout mouth or duck lips if you get lip augmentation. You may be a better candidate for lip lift.

Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid filler which has been around for a few years and is both safe, effective, soft, and natural looking in the lips when injected by an expert specialist injector. It lasts typically between 3-6 months. Restylane is a bit firmer, but is also a great lip filler.
