Will Juvederm Volux for my lips (off label) give me lots of volume?

Hello, my name is Lauren, and I’m the aesthetic injector at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center. Juvederm Volux is a great option for enhancing and defining the jawline. For the lips, there are several excellent fillers available that can help you achieve your desired look without using volux.

Hello, and thank you for your question. Choosing the right filler for achieving "big juicy lips" is important, and understanding the properties of different products can help in making an informed decision.

Juvederm Volux is typically designed for use in areas requiring more structural support, such as the jawline, due to its higher G prime (elasticity and firmness), which you correctly noted is higher than that of Juvederm Voluma. While a higher G prime means the product is firmer and offers more lift, it might not always translate to the "juicy" softness often desired in lip augmentation.

Will Juvederm Volux Provide the Volume and Juiciness You Want?

Juvederm Volux can indeed provide significant volume due to its robust structure, but it may not deliver the softness and natural movement typically desired for lips. Voluma, while having a lower G prime, is often preferred for lips because it offers a balance of volume and flexibility, creating a more natural, soft appearance.

Ultimately, whether Volux will deliver the look you desire depends on your specific aesthetic goals and how your body responds to the filler. It is essential to have a detailed discussion with your plastic surgeon about your desired outcome and perhaps consider starting with a more traditional lip filler before moving to off-label options like Volux.

I hope this helps, and I recommend consulting further with your surgeon for personalized advice.

Volux is typically used to give structure to the jawline. If used in the lips it will give you more volume than less dense fillers but keep in mind that the feel will be different too. Volux would give a stiffer feel to the lips. Discuss the pros and cons with your injector.
