Juvederm Ultra Smile vs Juvederm Volbella for lips?

Each of us has different lips and different lip concerns. As such, each patient needs to be assessed induvidually and see what would be best for them. Make sure that you have a thorough cosultation and assessment prior to proceeding wth any treatments.

I would recommend Juvederm Ultra Plus over Volbella. Results are longer lasting and patients are more happier with the outcome.

Thank you for your question about Volbella for lips.  Volbella is a wonderful product to use in the lips.  It is a soft and natural looking filler.  It lasts a bit longer than Juvederm Ultra (12 months vs 6-8 months).  It has a different cross linkage for the hyaluronic acid than Juvederm Ultra, which can make for a much more natural look, and without the swelling immediately after.  It is NOT the same as Juvederm Ultra, but is made by the same parent company (Allergan).


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 relatively new to the market so practitioners have not had enough time to evaluate its longevity... Allergan claims that it can last up to one year. I have found Volbella to be a wonderful filler that can really enhance the anatomy of Cupids bow, the philtral columns, and lip border. It was a smooth flowing consistency. In cases where the lip anatomy is good, but volume is deficient, I prefer to use Juvederm ultra. It also last about a year and has a nice consistency and feel when placed in the lips. Sometimes the two products used together to add both volume and enhance the youthful anatomy and border work best! 

Volbella is a new filler from Allergan which is ideal for lip lines/smokers lines around the lip.  It comes in 0.6cc syringe volume which is about half the 1.0cc Juvederm volume.  For volume enhancement in the lips, you will get more result with the Juvederm.
