I've had Restylane, Perlane, and Juvederm 2,3 and 4 in my lips. None has lastest for more than 6 months, and I'm getting tired of having to redo it so often. I saw that Voluma is for large-area volumizing like the cheeks. But it is the same product as what's in the other Juvederms, only a thicker formulation, and it's supposed to last 18 months...so, why not in the lips? I have not been able to find any documentation about it's use in the lips. thank you.
Answer: Voluma for lip augmentation I have also used Restylane, Perlane and Juvéderm for lip augmentation. If you were looking for something longer-lasting, then you should consider fat grafting or lip implants. Voluma is indicated for cheek augmentation, but it may also turn out to be a good volumizer for the lip. It was released towards the end of 2013, so we can expect a lot more information to follow in this area. I would expect Voluma to be a reasonable option as it is something that can also be reversed with an enzyme if one has an undesirable result.

Answer: Voluma is best for the face Each hyaluronic product is designed to benefit specific areas of the face. Voluma is longer lasting but should not normally be placed within the lip. Restylane products are ideal for lip augmentation and usually last up to 1 year.

Answer: Filler Comparison Regardless of the filler used, product used in the lips tends to break down faster than other areas as the lip is a mobile, dynamic part of the face. Use of Voluma in the lips is off label but may be performed in the appropriate patient with advanced technique by the provider. It is always best to see your Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon for assessment and determination of the product and technique best suited to help you achieve your goal.

Answer: Voluma for the Lips: Last Longer than other Fillers? Thank you for your question. Voluma is a very good filler for your cheeks and midface. It is a bit of a larger molecule, so it is usually placed deeper in the skin, (subdermal). The sales people will tell you it lasts about 2 years. In our experience it last about a year and a half. It is not FDA approved for the lips. As far as Juvederm Ultra Plus, (which we like for the nasolabial folds), and Juvederm Ultra, (which we like for the lips), the sales people will tell you it lasts about a year, in reality about 9 months. Every person is different so it can last a longer or shorter time period, depending on the patient. It has been our experience that some folks that are hypermetabolic, (in the gym twice a day, etc.), tend to break down Botox and Fillers faster. Each individual is different though. Please see a well trained, experienced injector. Discuss your goals, and you should be able to come up with a plan.Jeffrey J.

Answer: Voluma for the Lips: Last Longer than other Fillers? Although Voluma supposedly lasts longer than other fillers, it is not approved for augmenting the lips.

Answer: Best lip filler In my experience, Juvederm Volbella lip filler gets the best results with minimal swelling. Voluma can be used but gives a much bigger and harder look -- more voluminous. They both have a special technology called Vycross allows the filler to be injected in single strands which holds less swelling and is much smoother than most fillers. It lasts for up to a year with only one treatment. We can also gage how much plump you'd like because of the specific formula.
