Can Juvederm be used in lips to make them more plump?

Thank you for your question. Juvederm is a great option for the lips. It will enhance your lips with beautiful volume. Most of my patients love this product over Restylane. I would advise you to consult with an expert injector.

Juvederm is FDA approved for use in the lips as a volume replacement.  Juvederm lasts up to 12 months.

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)..
