Get Better Lips with Volbella

Have you started noticing fine lines and wrinkles around your mouth? Or perhaps your lips have grown thinner or you can no longer see much of a border around them.

It could be that your lips are asymmetrical, turned down at the corners, or simply not the shape and size you desire.

Whatever the case, Volbella can improve the appearance of your lips without leaving them too large or puffy. And all with one simple treatment.

What Is Volbella?

Volbella is a lip augmentation filler that addresses wrinkles and the delicate skin around your mouth. It’s also used to contour the lips; changing their shape and overall appearance to create a soft and natural lip enhancement.

This FDA-approved filler is made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring sugar produced by the body to help maintain volume and elasticity in the skin. Volbella is one of the newer fillers added to the Juvéderm collection, which utilizes different weights of hyaluronic acid.

Volbella also contains a small amount of the numbing agent lidocaine to make the procedure nearly painless. At most, patients may feel a small prick during the injection.

Are You a Good Candidate For Volbella?

Patients seek lip augmentation for a variety of reasons. Many want to restore lip volume and smooth lipstick lines. Others wish to fix an asymmetry, refine smile lines, or correct downturned corners. It could be a combination of any of those.

So if you’re over 18 and you’re frustrated with stubborn wrinkles around your mouth and want natural-looking volume to your lips that doesn’t appear overdone, then you could be a good candidate for Volbella.

On the other hand, if you are allergic to lidocaine or gram-positive bacterial proteins, or you suffer from severe allergies, including a history of anaphylaxis, then Volbella is not right for you. This would be something discussed during your consultation.

What Does the Vobella Treatment Entail?

The procedure is pretty straightforward. After numbing the area to be addressed, the syringe is inserted and Volbella is injected. Depending on the specifics of your situation, your appointment will take anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes. For most patients, one syringe of product is sufficient.

You’ll be asked to forgo certain blood-thinners or supplements for a few days before the procedure. And if you have a cold sore or fever blister, you’ll need to wait for two weeks before the procedure can be performed.

Once your treatment is complete, you can go back to your normal life. You will need to avoid direct sunlight for the first 24 hours though. And you should steer clear of strenuous exercise during that same time block. If there are additional post-treatment instructions, you’ll be given them.

Are There Side Effects?

Side effects for Volbella are minimal. There may be some swelling, tenderness, discomfort, or itching after the procedure. Any side effects are temporary and generally only last a day or two.

Your skincare specialist will go over your aftercare plan with you. When attended to properly after the initial procedure, Volbella fillers last nine months to a year.

Is Volbella Right for You?

Are you seeking fuller and more defined lips? Do you want results that are subtle and in harmony with the rest of your face?
