the juvederm tv ad shows it used for around the mouth, so what would it be like to get juvederm in lips to give me plumper lips?
Answer: 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 avoid a "sausage" appearance. For lip augmentation, I offer my patients dental nerve blocks to numb the lips, which makes the treatment much more pleasant for both of us. In patients who decline a nerve block, numbing gel is applied, and then prior to each injection an ice pack is held on the lip. Lips should not be overcorrected with Juvederm, as the product attracts more water from under the skin after it is injected. Initially your lips should look more swollen than you would like, just from the trauma of the injections. Patients do comment that their lips feel smoother after Juvederm than with other fillers. Within 12-24 hours they should look how you'd like them to look. If after one week there is asymmetry, then return to your doctor. If they are too big, then Widase can be injected to help dissolve some of the product. If they are uneven, a little more may be added. Lastly, I just read Dr. Arnold Klein's (Dr. Klein is THE expert in injectables) comments here on RealSelf.com, which are very informative. Good luck. Dr. P

Answer: Juvederm in Lips and Around the Mouth Thank you for your question. Yes. We use Juvederm products in the lips and around the mouth, (in the Nasolabial Folds, and Marionette lines), frequently. We like Juvederm Ultra Plus XC for the Nasolabial Folds, and Marionette lines. We like the Juvederm Ultra for the lips, as we believe it is a bit softer and more "kissable." Please discuss your goals with your well trained, experienced injector. Jeffrey J. Roth, M.D., F.A.C.S. Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Las Vegas Plastic Surgery

Answer: Juvederm Lips The good news is that not only does Juvederm Ultra now have an FDA approval for lip augmentation, but also, there are TWO new forms of Juvederm,: Volbella, and Vollure that have been FDA approved and may be used for lips AND they are longer lasting! Since our mouths tend to be in constant motion; eating, drinking, talking; traditional fillers haven't lasted more than a few months to a year when used for lip augmentation. Juvederm Volbella and just released Vollure uses what is called Vycross technology which results in a very smooth, longer-lasting product. Like the other Juvederm products, it contains lidocaine which helps to anesthetize the lip for a more comfortable injection experience. In our office, we apply a specially compounded numbing cream to the lips prior to injection - greatly improving patient comfort during the procedure. Additionally, injecting very slowly using both antegrade and retrograde injections helps not only enhance comfort, but also to reduce side effects such as bruising and swelling. Lip injections must be approached with an artistic eye; not only for lip size and proportion to other facial features, but also, taking into consideration the area around the lips: corners of the mouth, any vertical lip lines, vertical philtral columns (from cupids bow to base of nostrils), lip/chin crease and the chin itself. Creating beautiful lips is an art form and, when well done, results in a very aesthetically pleasing balance to the entire face that is both not palpated (felt) or seen (no ridges or abnormal outcomes)..
