How Can I Get Fuller Lips? 12 Reasons to Consider Volbella

If you’ve been dreaming of having full, attractive lips, the time is now. Plumping your lips and improving your appearance is easier than ever before. At James B DeStephens in Gainesville, Florida, we can enhance your lips in a minimally invasive manner with Juvederm Volbella. Read on to learn more about this fantastic injectable treatment.

How Can I Get Fuller Lips? 12 Reasons to Consider Volbella

1. It Can Give You Fuller Lips

Juvederm Volbella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that can give you full, plump lips. During your appointment, we will inject this dermal filler into your target area. The filler will enhance the size of your lips quickly, and you’ll be thrilled by how beautiful you look once you achieve the full benefits of this treatment.

2. It Can Smooth Your Wrinkles

In addition to increasing the size of your lips, this product can be used to minimize the appearance of fine lines around your mouth. This injectable treatment can smooth these “lipstick lines” and make you look younger and fresher.

3. It Addresses a Frustrating Issue

Dealing with thin lips and wrinkles can be very challenging. Although losing volume in your lips and developing fine lines is very common, you might not like how these changes make your face look.

The Aging Process

As you age, you become increasingly likely to develop thin lips. When you are young, your skin usually has abundant amounts of collagen and hyaluronic acid. Collagen is a protein that helps your skin look firm and youthful. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that keeps your skin moist and strong. As you age, your body’s production of these important substances decreases.

Although this process is natural, it isn’t good for your skin. As you lose collagen and hyaluronic acid, the appearance of your face will change. In particular, your lips can become smaller and thinner. This process can begin in your twenties and early thirties. At this point, you may also develop wrinkles and fine lines on your face.

Genes

Your genes also play a large role in the size and shape of your lips and mouth. This means that if many people in your family have small lips, you may also have this facial feature. Further, your genes can influence how quickly your lips change as you age. As a result, your lips might age faster or slower than other people’s lips will.

Lifestyle Choices

Your lifestyle can also influence the appearance of your lips and skin. In particular, being dehydrated and eating an unbalanced diet may harm the appearance of your lips. Similarly, spending too much time in the sun can make your lips age more quickly.

Enhancing Your Lips

Preventing your lips from thinning can be difficult or impossible. Although you can stay out of the sun and eat a healthy diet, you cannot control your age or your genes. As a result, you might have thin lips and wrinkles even if you try to take good care of your body.

Fortunately, you don’t have to accept your thin lips and wrinkles. This injectable treatment can plump your lips and smooth your wrinkles in an easy, minimally invasive manner.

4. It Has a Safe Formula

This dermal filler uses hyaluronic acid to enhance your lips and smooth your wrinkles. Since your body naturally contains this substance, you are likely to have a good reaction to this ingredient.

Further, people have been using this substance to enhance their features for a long time. As a result, you can feel confident when you use this dermal filler to plump your lips.

5. It’s Quick and Easy

Receiving this injectable treatment is generally a very straightforward, simple process. You should be able to easily fit your appointment into your busy schedule.

Receiving Your Injections

During your appointment, we will inject the dermal filler into your target area. You should feel comfortable during this portion of your treatment. If you’ve never received an injectable treatment before, you are likely to be thrilled by how quick this process is.

6. It Has a Short Recovery Period

Some cosmetic treatments and procedures require you to spend days or weeks recovering from your appointment. This Juvederm product is different. This dermal filler has minimal to no downtime. You should be able to return to your job and other activities very quickly. There are just a few, easy rules to follow after your appointment to ensure the best results.

Try to avoid engaging in rigorous exercise or drinking alcohol for twenty-four hours after you receive your injections. Further, you should not expose your skin to extensive heat or sunlight during this time.

7. You’ll See Results Quickly

This dermal filler is an excellent way to improve your lips in a quick, efficient manner. Although your individual results will vary, you are likely to see an increase in the size of your lips immediately after you receive your injections. You should see the final results of your treatment after just two weeks.

8. It Lasts for a Long Time

If you’ve used other injectable treatments in the past, you are likely to be pleasantly surprised when you realize how long this dermal filler lasts. Many injectable treatments wear off fairly quickly. Accordingly, you must have frequent follow-up injections to maintain your new look. This dermal filler is different.

A Lasting Improvement

Although your individual results will vary, the effect of your treatment may last for up to a year. As a result, this product has the potential to change your look in a lasting, significant manner.

Maintaining Your Results

Although the benefits of this treatment can last for a long time, this product does not permanently change your look. As your body processes the filler, your face will gradually return to its previous appearance.

You can preserve your fuller lips by having periodic follow-up treatments. During your initial consultation, we can provide you with more details about how you can maintain the benefits of your initial treatment.

9. It Works on Young Adults

You might have heard people saying that you should not use fillers until you are forty or older. The truth is that even if you are in your twenties or thirties, you might benefit from using Juvederm Volbella. There are a variety of reasons you should consider using this product before you enter your forties.

For instance, you might have simply been born with small, thin lips, and this product can plump this feature and give you a beautiful new look. Alternatively, you might be genetically predisposed to lose volume in your lips even when you are just in your twenties. This product can reverse this change and help you look younger and more attractive.

10. Your Results Will Look Natural

You’ve probably seen photographs of people whose lip fillers make them look cartoonish or artificial. As a result, you might be nervous that your new lips will look too dramatic or extreme. Fortunately, there’s no reason to be concerned about this issue when you receive this injectable treatment from us.

During your initial consultation, we will discuss your aesthetic goals and preferences. We will tailor your treatment to fit your unique goals and desires. We have extensive experience using this filler to enhance the lips in a natural, attractive manner. You will still look like yourself after you receive this treatment!

11. It Can Be Combined With Other Treatments

We can use a variety of dermal fillers and other injectable treatments to enhance your look. Since these products have different ingredients, they can enhance different facial features. They can also improve many different skin conditions and imperfections.

Botox

Botox is a neuromodulator that contains botulinum toxin. This injectable product can reduce the prominence of dynamic wrinkles that are formed by repeated facial expressions. Once we inject the product into your treatment area, it will relax the muscles that cause these wrinkles to form.

Relaxing these muscles can minimize your wrinkles and give you a more youthful appearance. The injection process usually lasts only ten to twenty minutes, and you are likely to have no downtime after your appointment is complete.

Other Juvederm Fillers

Juvederm Volbella isn’t the only dermal filler that can enhance your look. There are a variety of other Juvederm products that can rejuvenate your skin and improve your features.

In particular, Juvederm Voluma can restore lost volume in your cheeks. Juvederm Vollure can improve the appearance of moderate-to-severe wrinkles and lines on your face, and Juvederm Ultra XC can increase the size of your lips.

Analyzing Your Options

During your initial consultation, we will provide you with more details about our range of injectable products. We can help you select a treatment that’s right for you. Depending on your desired outcome, we may advise you to use a variety of injectable treatments to enhance your face.

12. It’s Suitable for Lots of People

If you’re an adult who wants to enhance your lips and smooth your wrinkles, you’re probably a good candidate for this injectable treatment. Receiving your injections is generally a very quick, comfortable process. You might be able to use this treatment even if you aren’t a candidate for an invasive cosmetic procedure. That said, there are a few health conditions that may prevent you from using this treatment.

You cannot use this treatment if you have an allergy to the bacterial proteins in the product or to lidocaine. Similarly, you are not a suitable candidate for this treatment if you have a history of severe allergic reactions or if you have a history of multiple severe allergies.  

You may not be able to use this treatment while you are pregnant or breastfeeding. You should talk to your healthcare provider about when you can use this treatment after pregnancy.

Making a Choice

During your initial consultation, we will discuss your overall health and analyze your lips and skin. At this point, you should tell us about any medical conditions that you have or anything you’re planning. For instance, be sure to inform us if you are planning to get a chemical peel or laser treatment in the near future.

You should also tell us if you are receiving immunosuppressive therapy or taking medications that can prolong bleeding. We will use this information to determine whether you can receive this treatment and help you find the perfect treatment for your needs and goals.
