I've had juvederm and restylane lip fillers in various cities (NYC, SF, even when visiting Savannah), always by a top reviewed MD, yet the fillers never last even 3 months. I'm going to have fillers again, and am considering trying voluma, but can't find much info regarding using voluma in lips that isn't years old (parents are MDs, against any sort of fillers, so also can't advise me). Is voluma more commonly used in lips these days? Is it more likely to last longer than a mere couple months?

Answer: Voluma is not used in my NYC practice for lips, we now use Volbella or Juvederm typically Although other doctors might write about using Voluma in the lips, I would be reluctant to use this product for this off-label use as it might produce too much volume as it's meant to be used as a deep filler above the bone under muscle or in deep fat planes. Juvederm works well for most of my NYC patients lasting 6-12 months but the new product, made by the same company, Volbella, may last longer than Juvederm.

Answer: Voluma Thank you for your question. Voluma is the first facial filler to be approved by the FDA for the non-surgical treatment of the cheeks. The injectable filler can deliver results for up to two years that correct volume loss in the cheeks. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to learn more about your options for lips and about Voluma. You can determine your candidacy for certain procedures during the consultation as well.

Answer: Does Voluma Last Longer Than Juvederm in Lips? Be Careful With Voluma in the Lips Juvderm Voluma is a much thicker product than the Juvederm that is used to augment the lips. Voluma is primarily a facial sculptor that does a beautiful job of creating lift and volume in the cheekbones and mid-face. I also use it to help create stronger jawbones or chins. Voluma would never be my first choice as a lip augmenter. It is thick and when injected in the lip can be seen and is not very natural appearing with animation when injected in this area.Consulting with someone who is an expert lip injector is imperative, as is being patient. Going for too much volume too soon would not result in a flattering or satisfying outcome.
