Lip Augmentation

Juvederm and Restylane are hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers used for lip augmentation. They help enhance lip volume, define the lip contours, and smooth out fine lines around the mouth, providing natural-looking, fuller lips.

The results of Juvederm and Restylane lip augmentation typically last between 6 to 12 months. The duration can vary based on individual metabolism, lifestyle factors, and the specific product used. Regular maintenance treatments can help sustain the desired results.

Both Juvederm and Restylane products contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Additionally, Dr. Holloway may use a topical numbing cream to ensure the treatment is as comfortable as possible.

During the treatment session, Dr. Holloway will discuss your aesthetic goals and determine the best product and approach for your needs. The filler is then injected into the lips using fine needles, with the entire procedure typically taking about 30 minutes. You may experience slight swelling or bruising, which usually resolves within a few days.

Common side effects include temporary swelling, redness, bruising, and tenderness at the injection site. These side effects are usually mild and subside within a few days. Dr. Holloway will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you manage any discomfort and ensure optimal results.

To prepare for your treatment, avoid blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, for at least a week prior to the procedure to reduce the risk of bruising. It's also advisable to avoid alcohol and smoking before the treatment. Dr. Holloway will provide comprehensive pre-treatment guidelines during your consultation.

Good candidates for Juvederm or Restylane lip augmentation are individuals looking to enhance their lip volume, improve lip symmetry, or smooth out fine lines around the mouth. Candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results.
