Plump lips fashion appeared many millennia before the beginning of our era. Of course, it was impossible to radically change the volume at that time. Therefore, the ancient Egyptians, imitating the king Nefertiti, used red paint in order to outline the contour of the lips and make them visually fuller. In the 13th century, French women did the same. A modern woman is able to change the shape and volume at her discretion, and the Yuviderm fillers help her in this.
Injection Implants
The human body contains approximately 15 g of hyaluronic acid. It is part of the nervous, epithelial and connective tissue. It is also found in saliva and other biological fluids. In addition, it is an essential component for articular cartilage, responsible for its resistance to compression.
Hyaluronate is also part of the skin. It plays a huge role in hydrodynamics and tissue regeneration. With a lack of hyaluronic acid, the skin becomes wrinkled and less elastic. Its microrelief worsens.
Hyaluronic acid injection implants can restore skin elasticity and smooth wrinkles. And fillers like Juverderm for lips can change shape and volume. Moreover, such an improvement in appearance is completely safe for the health of the patient.
The history of injection implants begins in the late 19th century. Doctors of that time used petroleum jelly and paraffin. At the beginning of the 20th century, they already experimented with fillers based on vegetable and mineral oil. As well as beeswax. Then came the turn of liquid silicone. A few years later, collagen-based preparations became fashionable. And also gelatin.
In modern cosmetology, fillers based on hyaluronic acid are used. They are considered the safest and most effective. The first drug was called Hylaform. It was purified hyaluronate, which was removed from the cockscomb. Unfortunately, such drugs were often rejected by the human body and provoked the development of a strong allergic reaction.
Yuviderm fillers for lips and other types of contour plastics contain only non-animal hyaluronate. This is a product of microbial synthesis. After receipt, the substance is specially purified and used for the production of injection implants of different densities.

The doctor will tell you which Yuviderm to choose for lips. In addition, it warns the patient from a radical change in appearance. It must be remembered that highly qualified specialists will not work at home for a penny. Therefore, the low cost of the procedure should alert the client.

- Clearly articulate your expectations.
- Make sure there are no contraindications. If something is not clear, you should tell your doctor about your concerns. It’s very dangerous to hide information about your health from him.
- You must tune in to the fact that after the procedure you will need to strictly follow the doctor’s instructions.
- During recovery, ibuprofen and aspirin are prohibited.
- It is not recommended to plan a visit to the beautician in the first days of the cycle.
- Lips after the procedure may hurt.
- Most likely, the result will last less than a year.
- The condition of the skin of the lips will improve significantly. Injections stimulate collagen production.
Procedure execution
Proper preparation for the procedure helps to reduce the risk of side effects. A week before the appointed date, you should stop taking antibiotics and blood thinners. In addition, exclude the use of alcohol and a visit to the solarium.
Allergan has a wide range of fillers, but what kind of Juverderm lip is best in a particular case should be decided by the doctor. The patient cannot dictate his conditions based on the advice of girlfriends.
Many intradermal implants of Yuviderm contain lidocaine. Despite this, most specialists use additional anesthesia, since the procedure is rather painful. A special gel is applied to the lips or a specialist makes an injection into the gum.
After the anesthesia begins to act, the beautician opens the package with an intradermal implant. This should be done with the patient. Then the needle is fixed on the syringe, and the doctor proceeds with the introduction of the filler. He can use the following techniques:
- Linear introduction.
- Microinjection. Used for minor corrections.
- Trace introduction. The alternation of microinjection and linear technology.
- Parisian. In this case, the needle is inserted vertically.
- French
After all the necessary volume of the drug is introduced, the beautician performs a light massage of the lips. This is necessary for better gel distribution. To increase the volume, in most cases, one syringe with the drug is enough.
Immediately after the procedure, the girls are asked about how much Juverderm holds in their lips. Beauticians say that it depends only on the patient’s body. On average, the effect lasts about six to eight months.
Keeping the volume obtained for a longer time helps proper lip care after the procedure. Patients should be aware of the following rules:
- Do not touch the lips with your hands after the procedure.
- During the first five days, you should maximally control your facial expressions.
- Temporarily refuse hot, cold or spicy food.
- For a week, exclude alcohol and smoking (including hookah). Do not drink liquids through a tube.
- Do not use the solarium, pool or sauna for 10 days after the procedure.
- Refuse aggressive scrubs and peels.
- When brushing your teeth, make sure that the bristles do not scratch your lips.
- Apply Bepanten at least twice a day to damaged tissue.
- Make-up of lips no earlier than 20 days after the introduction of the filler.
Ultra smile
Yuviderm Ultra Smile is an intradermal implant that is designed exclusively for the mouth. It increases the volume, lifts the corners of the lips, outlines their contour. It also eliminates nearby wrinkles.
Beauticians successfully correct lips with Juverderm. Reviews about this type of filler suggest that it is Ultra Smile that specialists most often prefer to use. This gel really transforms the lips and is able to provide any desired volume.
In addition to hyaluronic acid, Ultra Smile contains lidocaine. The volume of one syringe is 0.55 ml. This is quite enough for one procedure.
Yuviderm Ultra Smile cannot be used to correct the area into which another filler has already been introduced. In this case, the development of adverse reactions is possible. In addition, Yuviderm is contraindicated for use in areas that contain implants or permanent fillers.
Juvederm volbella
"Volbella" is another drug that is used to correct the shape and increase the volume of lips "Yuviderm" ohm. Feedback from patients and cosmetologists suggests that after its use, swelling is extremely rare. That is, the use of this gel allows the patient to quickly return to the usual rhythm of life.
The composition of "Volbella" also includes lidocaine. The use of this type of gel allows you to leave a natural look and softness of the lip line. In addition, clinical trials have proven that the effect after the use of "Volbella" lasts for a longer time. In 57% of patients, the volume created during the procedure remained virtually unchanged even 12 months after the procedure.
Juvederm Ultra Family
The entire Juverder Ultra series contains lidocaine. Preparations differ in viscosity and in the way of administration. For example, Juvederm Ultra 2 is suitable for correcting small wrinkles and modeling the contour of the lips. This drug should be administered in the surface layers of the dermis. And Juvederm Ultra 4 has a maximum gel density. It should be led into the deeper layers of the dermis. This type is used to correct the cheekbones, chin and a significant increase in lip volume.
All fillers in this line contain a substance such as phosphate buffer. This avoids the development of edema. But even if it appears, it lasts no more than two hours.
The doctor selects the drug for correction in preliminary consultation with the patient. The choice of filler depends on what the girl wants in the end and in what condition her lips. Yuviderm Ultra 2 is not suitable for a radical increase in volume. The doctor will have to choose between Ultra 3 or 4 fillers. At the same time, gels of this series can be combined with each other. For example, enter “Ultra 4” into the lips, and correct the fine wrinkles around the mouth with filler number 2.
Juvederm 24 and 30
The filler "Juiderm 24" is recommended for use by girls who first turn to a cosmetologist with a request to adjust the shape of the lips. With its help, you can outline the contour. And also give lips a more fresh and well-groomed look.
Yuviderm 30 is able to significantly increase the volume. It contains a more concentrated gel. Unfortunately, drugs from this series do not include lidocaine. Therefore, the procedure can be painful.
Allergan recently upgraded its Juvederm 24 and 30 line. An increased viscosity gel has been developed to extend the life of the implant. Newer products are marked HV. What is better for the lips, "Yuviderm" 24 or 30, can only be determined by a cosmetologist.
Procedure cost
The cost of lip contouring depends on the level of the salon, its location and qualifications of the cosmetologist. In addition, a huge role is played by the variety of the drug that is used for the procedure. For example, Juverder Ultra 2 will be the cheapest. It has the lowest density and will not last long in the lips. While Ultra Smile can cost twice as much.
The average cost of the procedure is from 12 to 15 thousand rubles. Some cosmetologists suggest injecting gel into the lips at home. In this case, the price of the procedure can be several times lower. Unfortunately, this is quite dangerous. The drug used may be falsified. There is no guarantee that such a specialist will bring Juverderm to the lips. Photos on the Web show the complications that many girls get after visiting cosmetologists at home.
