Lips that lack volume can affect your self-image, whether they have always been thin or have lost volume over time. Injectable fillers can help to plump up the lips without surgery or extended downtime. Fillers are most often composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance created by your body that helps retain moisture in the skin and other tissues.
Benefits
- No surgery or extended downtime
- Natural-looking results

Procedure
First, a numbing cream will be applied for your comfort. Once the anesthetic has taken effect, injections will be made at strategic points along the lips to provide subtle volume and improve symmetry.
JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC
JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC is a hyaluronic acid filler that can be used to add volume and improve symmetry in the lips.
JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC
JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC is a thinner formula than JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC. Although it is also used to add volume to the lips, the results will be more subtle.
