Non-invasive facial rejuvenation treatments are an essential tool in a plastic surgeon’s arsenal against aging. However, one lip enhancing injection, Juvederm Volbella, may be revolutionizing the way patients see lip rejuvenation.
As individuals age, their lips may naturally lose volume and develop wrinkles. This can be advanced through excess exposure to the sun and repeated muscle movement. Filler injections are traditionally used by highly qualified plastic surgeons to provide volume, and patients can immediately see a transformation in the way the mouth appears.
However, this new San Diego Volbella injection series does differ from other fillers on the market because it was specifically created for the lip area. Medical professionals are noting how this new product is adding subtle fullness while diminishing vertical lip lines. The end result leaves patients with lip volume that appears both youthful and natural in appearance.
Patients note that the injection series is well tolerated with a topical numbing agent. Overall, they are happy with the appearance of their lips and results are immediate lasting up to year. Slight swelling may take place for a couple of days but resolves quickly if patients ice the area following treatment.
The creator of Juvederm is Allergan. This company has been known for its other cosmetic injection, Botox. In San Diego, Botox can minimize the appearance of wrinkles on the upper portion of the facial canvas for a few months or more.
In addition to hyaluronic acid, Volbella also has a numbing agent which is meant to provide comfort for patients during the injection process. Again, this numbing agent is in tandem to the topical numbing cream applied before the series.
Medical professionals such as a board-certified San Diego plastic surgeon that specializes in facial rejuvenation should be seen for these types of treatments. As an expert in this area of medicine, the surgeon will know which areas to treat as they are well-versed in the facial anatomy. In addition, the plastic surgeon or their trained nurse specialist will take time to deliver the injection series with precision and meticulous care. They are also competent in other procedures like San Diego breast augmentation, tummy tuck, etc.
The injection series is done by mapping out areas on the lower and upper lip lines. This will allow for patients to achieve a subtle transformation in the lips by way of this minimally invasive procedure. The session which is carefully administered, should take less than 30 minutes to administer and is well tolerated. It is traditionally recommended that patients ice the area after injections to lessen swelling and bruising that may occur. These compresses can continue into the evening or as directed by the plastic surgeon.
Overall, patients are very happy with the treatment outcome and also knowing that their results can last up to a year.
Along with facial rejuvenation, patients could also enhance their figures by involving other procedures like tummy tuck and breast lift San Diego.
