QUICK LINKS
The lips are a central part of the lower face that add balance to the other features. Thick, plump lips are often seen as a sign of youth and fullness. Whether it’s the aging process or genetics, thin lips can make it difficult to feel confident showing off your favorite lip colors or enjoying a balanced profile. Lip injectables are one excellent way to achieve great results without the downtime or permanency of a lip lift procedure. With the popularity of lip injection treatments among celebrities and influencers, Prysi Cosmetic Surgery offers the best in injectable options with the Juvéderm® family of fillers.
What is Juvéderm Ultra XC?
Juvéderm Ultra XC is an injectable treatment designed to use for lips to smooth and volumize. This Juvéderm injectable and others are made with synthetic, cross-linked hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin that is responsible for helping the skin retain moisture and suppleness. When injected under the surface of the skin, it replaces volume lost by decreased collagen production over time.
Who is a Good Candidate for Juvéderm Ultra XC?
Patients who are looking to smooth out their lips, eliminate lip lines, or address moderate volume loss are perfect candidates for Juvéderm Ultra XC. Injectable treatments can also be a great way to explore your cosmetic goals before considering a surgical procedure. It’s important to discuss any allergies (including to lidocaine) or history of reactions during your consultation so our expert injectors can determine whether this injectable is the best option for you. You should always receive injectable dermal fillers from an experienced and trained injector under the supervision of a board-certified plastic surgeon. This ensures you get your desired results while staying safe and risk-free. During a consultation, our specialists can also discuss your options for surgical lip enhancement.
How is Juvéderm Ultra XC Treatment Performed?
Injectable treatments can be performed right in our Naples office during a quick and easy session. Juvéderm Ultra XC contains lidocaine for additional comfort during injection, which is a common topical anesthetic used by dentists and ophthalmologists in addition to plastic surgeons.
Once you’re comfortable and relaxed, a very fine needle is used to place the product beneath the dermis using several precise injections so that your results are artfully and naturally crafted by our expert injectors. After your injections are completed, you’ll be given a small list of aftercare instructions and you can return to your day. Overall, this process can take as little as 30 minutes.
Results and Recovery
After treatment with injections, most patients experience some minor swelling and discomfort. We generally recommend you treat this with an ice pack as needed — you can generally expect any side effects to fade within a day or so. You can also return to your regular activities the next day.
Although it’s different for each patient, you can expect your Juvéderm Ultra XC results to last for up to one year, after which you can opt for retreatment or touch-up. During a consultation, our expert injectors can recommend your best options to boost your results and confidence with other injectable options or skincare treatments.
