What are the side effects for Juvederm Volbella in lips?

Thank you for your question about side effects of Volbella in lips.  Volbella is in the hyaluronic acid family of fillers. They have been FDA approved in the US and Europe for many years and are viewed as very safe.  HA fillers are also fully reversible.  There are always the risks of granulomas...but they are very rare.  I am not aware of hormones affecting fillers specifically, but hormones can certainly affect the skin pigmentation and in other ways.  Typically people find Volbella to last up to a year.  


To be sure, see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.

I hope this helps.

Volbella is a hyaluronic acid filler similar to the others available on the market. HA fillers have a very high safety profile and are used around the world. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is found naturally in the human body. It is rare to be allergic to it and I have not seen any granulomas with Volbella or similar products made with HA. You did not mention whether you were happy with the results. One of the biggest advantages to using HA fillers is that they naturally dissolve within a year and be be dissolved more quickly when hyaluronidase is injected. The only side effects of using Volbella or Juvederm that I have seen are temporary swelling and bruising. 

Are you experiencing any negative reaction to the Volbella? Most patients only experience a temporary swelling and bruising that's related to the injection process. These go away in about a week or two. More serious side effects include infection and granuloma, but their occurrence is rare. If you aren't experiencing any negative side effects then I recommend you not stress out about them. Results generally last for 9-12 months, at which point the product will disappear.
