If you’re looking for a way to enhance your lips or smooth out fine lines around your mouth, Volbella by Juvederm might be the perfect solution. At Rivela Plastic Surgery in The Woodlands, TX, Dr. Rivela and his team specialize in this advanced dermal filler, offering patients a subtle, natural-looking improvement without surgery.
What is Volbella?
Volbella is a specialized dermal filler from Juvederm designed specifically to address fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss in delicate facial areas. Its unique formulation includes hyaluronic acid, a natural substance in the skin that helps retain moisture and softness. Volbella’s smooth consistency integrates seamlessly with your skin, offering subtle yet effective enhancements.
Where Can Volbella Be Used?
Volbella is particularly effective in treating fine lines around the mouth, also known as “smoker’s lines,” and adding volume to lips. However, it can also be used in other areas of the face where subtle volume is needed, including:
- The lips for gentle plumping and contouring
- Perioral lines (vertical lip lines)
- The corners of the mouth to soften downward folds
- Marionette lines extending from the corners of the mouth toward the chin
How Long Does Volbella Last?
Results from Volbella treatments can last up to 12 months or more, depending on the individual and the area treated. While every patient’s body absorbs hyaluronic acid at a different rate, the advanced technology used in Volbella ensures long-lasting results with minimal need for touch-ups.
What to Expect with Volbella
The Volbella procedure at Rivela Plastic Surgery is quick, minimally invasive, and requires little to no downtime. The injections are performed with a fine needle, and the formula contains a local anesthetic to minimize discomfort. The procedure can take 15-30 minutes depending on the treatment area.
Following your Volbella treatment, you might experience mild swelling or redness at the injection site, but this usually subsides within a few days. Most patients can return to their regular activities immediately after the procedure.
Can Volbella Be Used for Lips?
Volbella is an excellent choice for lip enhancement because it adds volume while maintaining a soft, natural look. Whether you’re looking to enhance the shape of your lips, add subtle volume, or smooth out fine lines around your mouth, Volbella is designed to achieve results without looking overdone.
Are there Side Effects of Volbella?
As with any cosmetic injectable, there can be some minor side effects, but Volbella is generally well-tolerated. The most common side effects include:
- Redness
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Tenderness at the injection site
These side effects are usually mild and temporary, resolving within a few days. Dr. Rivela will discuss potential side effects during your consultation to ensure you are comfortable and informed before proceeding with treatment.
