Juvaderm | Juvederm Lip Injections
Juvaderm (also known as Juvederm or Juviderm) is a favorite injectable filler material for use in lip injections. It is the trend these days to have bigger lips, particulary lips that look like those of famous celebrities such as Angelina Jolie, whose extremely sexier, bigger lips have the ability to cause even old men in their seventies to feel young again! However having bigger lips is a matter of personal choice, as sometimes the bigger lips may not fit the facial structure of the subject, and one may end up looking like a duck, if not well advised.
Lip injections are technically more difficult and demand a much higher degree of skill in the administration of Juvaderm that for other filler procedures such as for the nasolabial fold. It is thus imperative that you choose your esthetic practitioner carefully and ask him to show you examples of his past work before you decide on who to use as your esthetic doctor.
Lip injections for bigger lips with Juvaderm are performed under local anesthesia, this time achieved by the injection of lignocaine into the nerves supplying the sensation of both the upper and lower lips. Anesthesia obtained by application of local anesthetic gel such as Emla is not so suitable as the degree of numbness obtained is not satisfactory.
There are two areas of consideration in lip injections for bigger lips. One is the increased definition of the vermilion border. The other is the actual increase in volume of the lip needed. A third, no less important consideration is whether the upper, or lower lip, or both, need to have the volume increased. All these have to be discussed and decided upon by both the patient and doctor well before the procedure before anything is done, to avoid legal implications.
Injection of Juvaderm usually starts near the corner of the lips and works its way toward the center. However technics vary depending on the practitioner. The injected area is manipulated and molded during and after the injection of Juvaderm to ensure ideal shaped bigger lips. Immediately after lip injections the lips tend to be more swollen than the ideal results because of manipulation. It is thus advised that the patient returns after at least one week for reassessment and reinjection of Juvaderm for bigger lips, if necessary.
