When it comes to enhancing your lips, you have more options than ever to get the perfect pout. Different types of lip filler offer unique benefits, allowing you to achieve your desired results.
At Rockmore Plastic Surgery, our lip augmentation options include various fillers from the JUVÉDERM® family—we even offer a BOTOX® lip flip depending on your preferences and needs. Discover more about your ideal lip enhancement procedure (and how they stack up against each other) below.
What Is JUVÉDERM Used for?
JUVÉDERM is a line of hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler products that add volume to various areas of the face. Depending on the specific product formulation, these FDA-approved treatments smooth fine lines and wrinkles, fill in depressed areas, and enhance facial contours.
JUVÉDERM fillers are known for their smooth gel consistency and long-lasting, natural-looking results. We are proud to offer JUVÉDERM ULTRA, ULTRA PLUS, and VOLBELLA® for lip enhancement.
What Is Better for Lips: JUVÉDERM or Restylane?
Both JUVÉDERM and Restylane can give you beautiful, plump lips. We prefer to use JUVÉDERM products for their soft, flexible texture, longevity, and ability to build volume for more subtle or dramatic results as needed. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Rockmore and our talented registered nurse injectors can help you determine which JUVÉDERM filler fits your needs best.
Comparing Lip Augmentation Options
JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA vs ULTRA
VOLBELLA and ULTRA are both part of the JUVÉDERM family of fillers, with VOLBELLA specifically formulated for subtle lip augmentation and smoothing vertical lip lines. ULTRA (and its much firmer formulation, ULTRA PLUS) can be used for more significant lip enhancement and to fill in deeper wrinkles around the mouth. The choice between VOLBELLA and ULTRA depends on your desired outcome and the extent of your concerns.
Lip Flip vs Filler
A lip flip is a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure that involves injecting small amounts of BOTOX into the muscles around the upper lip. This treatment relaxes the muscles, causing the upper lip to “flip” slightly upward, creating the appearance of a fuller lip without adding volume.
While lip fillers such as JUVÉDERM add volume to the lips, a lip flip enhances the natural shape and contour of the lip using BOTOX. These treatments can be performed separately or in conjunction with each other, providing patients with enhanced lip aesthetics and symmetry.
