Plump, shapely lips are seen as an aesthetic ideal and even a sign of femininity. JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC is a hyaluronic acid filler designed specifically to increase volume in the lips, maintaining natural flexibility for a subtle yet buildable result.
Dr. Frank Agullo offers his El Paso, TX, patients the best dermal fillers for their aesthetic needs, including JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC for lips.
What Is JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC?
JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC is a member of the JUVÉDERM® collection of fillers, one of the most popular filler brands to date. JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC is a clear gel formula that is injected into and around the lips to add long-lasting fullness and eliminate lip wrinkles. The unique formula contains hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin, which pulls hydration to the lips, as well as lidocaine which improves the comfort of the injection.
What Can JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC Treat?
Thin Lips
Those not blessed with naturally plump lips can now enjoy temporary lip fullness with JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC. The hyaluronic acid gel increases lip volume for a soft, plump pout, with customized treatments to suit the patient’s needs.
Uneven Lips
Some patients have uneven lips, with their upper or lower lips not matching the other. Or, due to congenital reasons or prior injury, the lip can be uneven. JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC can be used to create a more uniform lip appearance, in addition to an increase in volume.
Lip and Mouth Wrinkles
JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC’s flexible formula can fill in certain wrinkles throughout the lips and around the mouth (smoker’s lines) for a smooth, youthful look.
Am I a Candidate for JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC Injections?
Good JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC candidates are patients over the age of 21 who are in good health and do not smoke. Ideal candidates for JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC are those who:
- Want plump lips
- Want even, smooth lips
- Want to improve the shape of their lips
- Want a natural-looking contour and natural movement to their lips
How Are JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC Injections Performed?
After your dermal filler consultation with Dr. Agullo, a custom treatment plan will be created to help you reach your goals. Before your appointment, you will have a topical anesthetic applied to your lips for maximum comfort. Once numbed, JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC will be injected precisely into your lips in the specific shape and size that you require.
The treatment itself should only take 15 minutes, and once you are done you can have a cold compress to help with any residual discomfort.
What Can I Expect From JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC Recovery?
JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC recovery is very mild. You’ll likely be able to return to daily activities immediately after your appointment. Some mild swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection site are normal and will lessen after a few days. If you have some bruising around your lips, makeup can help cover it up. Cold compresses can help, but be sure not to put too much pressure on your lips so you don’t displace the filler.
When Will I See My JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC Results?
You’ll see an immediate increase in lip volume, as well as an improved shape. Bear in mind that the swelling and bruising might make your final results hard to see at first, but once the swelling goes down, you’ll be able to see the new shape of your lips. Final results are about one week after your appointment and can last up to one year.
