How Can I Get Fuller Lips Without Surgery?
From subtle to sultry, the desire for a plumper pout is shared by many individuals who would like fuller, well-defined lips. Although this can be achieved via surgical lip augmentation, there are several minimally invasive treatment options that can achieve similar results without the need for anesthesia or extensive downtime. Dr. Max Lehfeldt and our team at Radiance Medical Spa can help improve the shape and volume of the lips with high-quality dermal fillers such as Restylane® and JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA®.
Ranked as the second most sought-after minimally invasive procedure, dermal fillers (also known as soft tissue fillers) offer an array of applications for rejuvenating facial areas experiencing volume loss and fine lines.* When small amounts of a dermal filler solution are injected into strategic points of the lips, the effects can be seen almost immediately and help produce:
- Softer, fuller lips with a more youthful appearance
- Reduced signs of fine lines on the lips and mouth area
- Greater definition of lip contour and shape
- Improved lip symmetry
- Increased volume for thinning or naturally thin lips
One of the main advantages of dermal filler enhancement versus surgical lip augmentation is the ability to start conservatively with small amounts of product until you reach your desired outcome. This incremental delivery helps avoid overfilling, especially if the goal is a more natural-looking result. Two of the most common dermal fillers with proven success are Restylane® and JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA®:
- Restylane® – A clear gel formulated with hyaluronic acid to correct moderate to severe wrinkles and enhance volume in specific facial features such as the lips.
- JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® – A long-lasting, soft, smooth gel that adds volume, particularly for the lips.
It is important to note that most dermal fillers will eventually metabolize and naturally become absorbed by your body, so results are only temporary. Depending on the product and how quickly your body works through the solution, follow-up injections may be needed every 6 to 18 months to maintain the improved aesthetic effects. To increase the chances of a best-in-class experience and outcome, it is strongly recommended to receive treatment from an authorized provider with the proper certifications, training, and experience to understand the nuances of dermal filler injections. This helps to ensure they have the skills required to coordinate an individual’s unique anatomy with the best-matched injectable and treatment plan.
