34 Y/o Volbella for Natural Lip Enhancement

WORTH IT$450
I have been self-conscious since an orthodontist described my 12-year old lips as "thin and slightly portrusive." Thus as an adult, I have been considering a lip filler for some time. I wanted something that looked and felt natural and now that Juvaderm Volbella is available in the States, decided to give it a shot (no pun intended...) I had one syringe injected last Thursday and immediately liked the results. The next morning, my lips were a tad sore and swollen but nothing overly noticeable. By Sunday, all the swelling was gone and I absolutely love the results! I never wore dark lipstick before because it made my lips disappear and my mouth look hard and angry but now I can wear darker colors and they actually look normal! I totally recommend Volbella for lips!

Are you still loving the results? I'm probably going with Volbella after my 11 week FL/NL/BL/Fat graft/Laser checkup next week. The fat graft in my lips didn't help as I had hoped. :-

I do still love the results! They are really natural-looking, which is exactly what I wanted! Good luck with yours!

Thanks so much for the response. Due to snow my 10 week follow up appointment was cancelled yesterday so I have one more week to give the fat graft a chance. I don't think so! I'll make a Volbella appointment when I'm there.

Thanks for sharing your experience with volbella for lips. The result is lovely. Do you know how long the volbella will last before you will need another injection? A number of reviewers on RealSelf have mentioned that lip fillers don't last very long given the high cost. . . but I'm not sure if they are referring to Volbella or a different filler.

Hi there! It's my understanding that Volbella can last up to a year but since this is my first go-round, I can't speak to the actual time until I need a refresh. I've heard that fillers can break down at variable times due to factors like metabolism as well. I know my Botox seems to wear off in about 2.5 months typically.

I also had the procedur done in early Feb and I love it! my top lip is a lot thinner than the bottom one so I wanted to even it out. I had also tried Juvederm a couple of years ago, but it wore off about 6 months later. Volbella is supposed to last 12 months. We shall see.
