All about Volbella explained by Dr. Amanda Lloyd

What is Volbella?

The lips are part of our face that often gets a lot of hype. Unfortunately, as we age, because of the damage from the sun, our environment, and due to the boney changes in our face, both our upper and lower lips, thin and roll under.

Volbella is an excellent product, smooth and flexible, to make the lips have a little more of a natural pout.

How can Volbella improve my lips?

It has the strength to withstand degradation from the constant movement of lips, and at the same time, it makes the lips soft and smooth.

It enhances lips, bringing them back to their former state, giving a more healthy and youthful look. The eye associates thin rolled lips with old age and lack of health.

Treatment with Volbella is virtually painless and is done through the inside of the mouth so that if there’s any bruising, it remains hidden.

There can be swelling after the treatment, which is typically mild; at times it could be significant. The swelling goes away after about one to three days.

Is Volbella a member of the Juvéderm family of products?

Yes, it is. It’s a soft fluid hyaluronic acid filler made specifically for the lips and is FDA-approved for the treatment of volume loss in the lips.

Can Volbella be used to treat the under-eye area or the cheeks?

It can be put elsewhere, however, you must talk with your physician about your cosmetic goals. Volbella is great in the lips.

However, if there is another location that you want to be filled with Volbella, for example, your tear troughs under the eyes or your cheeks, there may be other products that are superior to Volbella for those specific areas.

You must do your research and choose an expert board-certified dermatologist that frequently does cosmetic injections because it's their responsibility and not yours as the patient, to know all of the fine points and details of all the different fillers on the market.
