Renuva should not be injected into the lips. It is intended to be injected only where fat naturally exists in the body. Renuva is perfect for volumizing areas of the face and body, like the cheeks, hands, breasts and buttocks. I recommend a hyaluronic acid for filling the lips instead.
Thank you for your question. Renuva is a allograft adipose matrix that allows for your own fat to settle in the area of injections (lips). Renuva is not permanent, but your fat that eventually settles in the matrix WILL be. So with Renuva you must be more patient that traditional lipo fillers currently on the market. It may take about 3 months for your to see the final result. Good luck!

Renuva does a beautiful job replenishing facial volume and to achieve the shape you desire in targeted body areas. For lips, it's best to use a hyaluronic acid filler.

In terms of your breast rippling, Renuva is very effective in smoothing the rippling you describe. For you, it’s even better – because you don't have enough body fat to do fat grafting, plus the treatment requires no anesthesia and is done right in the office.
Thank you for your question. Renuva would be a great alternative to fat if you do not want liposuction or simply do not have enough fat to transfer. Currently Renuva is packaged in 1.5cc, 3cc and 5 cc syringes. which is smaller than the volume required to change cup sizes. However, Renuva is...
