I have had Juvederm for Lip augmentation. The thing I hate about it is the bruising that comes along with it. I am very fair (Irish blue/white fair) and it takes up to two weeks for the bruises to go away. I just don't have that much time to stay hidden until the marks go away.I am looking for something to just eliminate the wrinkles on the top of my lips. I am, and always have been, quite fond of the natural shape of my lips. Just hate the wrinkles.
Answer: Filler for lip wrinkles Fillers do help the lines, but all can cause bruising. Unfortunately, there is more bruising with hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Juvederm and Restylane, than the former collagen fillers. A new filler which is thinner than Evolence, a collagen from pigs, may soon be approved by the FDA and this may give you good results with less bruising than the hyaluronic acids. Taking Arnica montana, an herb, which can help minimize bruising, is recommended by some physicians and their patients who bruise easily can start it a day before the procedure and take it for the day of and a day after as well. Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, advil, alleve, vitamin E, fish oil, garlic, ginseng, ginko biloba as these medicines and products contribute to more bruising. Aspirin should be avoided for up to two weeks prior to the procedure if possible, and a few days for the non-steroidal antiinflammatory agents such as advil, Avoid the herbs for one to two weeks prior to the procedure. Ice immediately after the procedure might lessen some bruising. Don’t exercise that day or the day after if you are prone to bruising. Some people don’t mind the bruising and don’t need to stop their aspirin or exercise regimen. You, however, might find it helpful to do this. Laser resurfacing and a small dose of Botox could help the lip lines, but there is a risk of scarring with the former and drooping with the latter. Lines often come back despite the laser resurfacing although they might be better than they were before the procedure.

Answer: Lip Injetions Radiesse is biocompatible dermal filler FDA approved to treat volume loss in the face and hands. If done by an unskilled injector it can leave patients with unpleasant lumps. Currently there is no antidote for Radiesse so we prefer using Hyaluronic-Acid based fillers, such as Juvederm XC.

Answer: Radiesse is for deeper injestion Radiesse is a thicker filler and is not to be used in the lips or near the lip line. If it is injected in this area there is a risk that there can be hard lumps or visible white bumps. Radiesse is a very nice filler for providing volume to other areas of the face.

Answer: Wrinkles of the upper lip I would consider a resurfacing procedure (laser or chemical)to address the fine lines around the mouth. There is, however, some down-time associated with such a procedure (approximately 7 days). The procedure would be even more effective if you were to have a few units of Botox injected to the lip 2-4 weeks prior to your resurfacing procedure. Good luck.
