Many people are bothered by the lines that can appear around the lips, known as perioral rhytids. Additionally, when seeking lip augmentation, patients want a result that is not drastic. Volbella smooths the lips and softens the appearance of the lines around the mouth.
Volbella with Lidocaine is a new dermal filler treatment for the lips and lines around the mouth. Designed not only for gentle restoration of natural-looking lip volume, but it can also be used for defining lip contours, treating oral commissures, smoothing fine ‘barcode’ lines around the lips, and supporting the ‘marionette’ lines down the chin.
Volbella Lip Injections can:
Diminish vertical lip lines (a.k.a. smoker’s lines)
Accentuate the border of the lips
Smooth the lips
Enhance the cupid’s bow (the “M” part of the mid-upper)
It is recommended you make your Filler Appointment as least two weeks in advance of any special events to ensure the best possible and full result.
You’ll be asked to avoid alcohol, blood thinners, Ibuprofen, and certain supplements at least 48 hours prior to treatment to avoid increased bruising or bleeding.
You’ll be asked to confirm it has been at least a week since you last used retinol or had any prolonged sun exposure.
Treatments usually last around 1 hour.
Facial Filler is injected with a fine needle, in areas that need additional volume. All of our facial fillers contain a small amount of lidocaine (a local anesthesia), which numb the area to minimize discomfort.
Depending on the number of treatment areas, you can expect to use 1-4 syringes of filler.
It takes around 2 weeks for full treatment effects to appear. With results lasting 9-12 months.
You may experience tenderness, swelling, pain, or bruising at the injection site but this should subside after a few days. You can take acetaminophen to help with any discomfort, as well as arnica tablets or gel for possible swelling and bruising.
After treatment it is recommended to avoid alcohol, laying down, any strenuous exercise, and manipulation of the area post treatment.
