Juvederm Volbella® Xc in Naples, FL

Plump, full, contoured lips are considered feminine and beautiful. They can dramatically improve the appearance and balance facial features. As we age, our lips become thinner and longer. Thin lips take away from an otherwise lovely appearance, and coupled with vertical lip lines, can make someone look years older than they really are.

What areas can Volbella® treat?

Juvederm Volbella® was created specifically to treat the lips and the peri-oral area, but expanded to treat the under eye region.. The smooth gel is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a safe treatment for the lips and was the first approved by the FDA for under eye treatment.  

Volbella® will:

• Smooth fine lip lines, also known as ‘smoker’s lines’
• Restore lip borders
• Plump the lips, especially in conjunction with Juvederm® Injectable Gel
• Augment hollow under eye areas such as tear troughs and infraorbital rims

Schedule Consultation

Volbella® can restore a younger appearance, making the lips fuller and more proportionate with the facial features. The shapely, plump lips and more defined lip borders give the face a softer, more feminine look. For more complete facial rejuvenation, Volbella® can be combined with other injectables, such as Botox® Cosmetic or Juvederm®, to improve the look of fine lines, deeper wrinkles, or volume loss along the cheek or jawline. During the consultation appointment, Dr. Agarwal, Dr. Maloney, or Dr. Holmes will explain all of the options available for facial rejuvenation.

Juvederm Volbella® is also FDA approved to treat hollowing of the under eye tear troughs.  This is Dr. Agarwal’s filler of choice for this area of the face, next to fat transfer.  Injections in this area must be performed with meticulous precision because of how thin the skin is in this area of the face.  There is a higher risk of bruising in this area, but Juvederm Volbella® injections can significantly refresh the under eye area when injected properly by a skilled plastic surgeon.

Volbella® Injections

At the Aesthetic Surgery Center, all Volbella® injections are administered by one of our seasoned plastic surgeons. We do not delegate this responsibility to physician assistants or nurse injectors. Injection sessions are held in a comfortable treatment room, giving each patient complete privacy. As Volbella® is premixed with lidocaine, a local anesthetic, there is minimal pain with the injections. For those patients needing added comfort, additional anesthetics are available. A Volbella® session at the Aesthetic Surgery Center normally takes 30 minutes or less, getting patients quickly back to their normal routine.

Minimal downtime is necessary after Volbella® injections, making the injectable perfect for a lunchtime procedure. The results can be seen right away. The results from a single treatment can last 4 months up to a full year. When the benefits of Volbella® begin to fade, a repeat session can safely maintain results.

How Juvederm Volbella® Works

Volbella® is a unique dermal filler from Juvederm, created especially for use in the delicate lip and mouth area.  Our surgeons also use this product to treat under eye hollows.  Made with cutting-edge Vycross™ technology, the smooth, gel formula ensures easy injections and consistent results. Volbella® uses a low concentration of hyaluronic acid (HA), reducing the chance for the unexpected, post-op swelling that can be seen with traditional fillers. The  low-level HA replenishes the tissue’s natural structure to provide exceptional, long-lasting results.

Side Effects and Risks of Volbella®

Approved by the FDA as a safe and effective treatment for plumping the lips and smoothing lip lines, Volbella® is a trusted dermal filler. Side effects from the injections are mild, but commonly include swelling, tenderness, firmness, bruising, redness, and itching. Since Volbella® has a lower concentration of HA than traditional dermal fillers, less water is drawn into the lips, meaning less swelling. More severe complications are rare, especially when Volbella® is provided by an experienced practitioner, but there is remains a small risk for infection, scarring, facial asymmetry, and nerve damage to occur.

Candidates for Volbella®

Juvederm Volbella® is made for those individuals who are looking to improve flat, thin, or diminishing lip volume, fill fine lines and wrinkles, or augment under eye hollows.. The filler is safe for men and women of all skin types. While Volbella® can provide excellent results, the treatment is not recommended for potential patients with an existing allergy to lidocaine or gram-positive bacteria, a history of scarring, or are pregnant/nursing.

Prior to treatment, a consultation appointment will be scheduled with one of the Aesthetic Surgery Center’s expertly trained surgeons. If Volbella® is determined to be the right treatment to achieve the desired results, injections can be performed during the same appointment.

If you are unhappy with the shape or volume of your lips, under eye hollows, or if you have started to notice fine lines and wrinkles, Juvederm Volbella® could make a significant difference in your appearance.
