Hyaluronic Acid Injection (Lips, Jawline: Juvederm VOLBELLA, Restylane Lyft)

Treatment details: Hyaluronic Acid Injection (Lips, Jawline: Juvederm VOLBELLA, Restylane Lyft)

A man asking for lip volume needs a different endpoint from a woman asking for the same thing, so VOLBELLA was used in a small quantity and kept low in the body of the lip rather than pushed forward at the border. The jawline was the more useful target here. Restylane Lyft along the mandibular line gives the lower face a defined edge, and once that edge exists the lips no longer look like the only thing that changed. Both were placed in one sitting. The photograph is immediate, so what you see includes swelling from the needle work. I review at two weeks, when the true volume is readable and small adjustments can be made.

Injection points on the lip and along the jaw bleed slightly and bruise, and lips in particular swell for two or three days in a way that can look excessive at first. Small lumps or an uneven edge may be felt while the product settles and can usually be smoothed by massage or dissolved if needed. Cold sores can be triggered in patients who carry the virus. Placement near the jaw carries a low risk of pressing on or entering a vessel, which is why aspiration and slow delivery are used. Prolonged firmness, asymmetry and infection are uncommon. The material breaks down over nine to twelve months.
