Question:
I am interested in plumping up my lips and like the idea of an injectable so that they are not permanent and I can try it out first. What fillers can be used in the lips and how long do the results last?
Answer:
Generally, the two fillers that I like the best are Juvederm Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus, which can last anywhere from three to nine months depending upon the individual and are very safe. It also gives a nice look to the lips and if you want it to be temporary it will, as mentioned, be gone in somewhere between three and nine months and then can be re-injected to get the same previous effect. Also, some people use Radiesse which lasts a little longer in the lips. In my practice, I consider those the two best fillers to use in the lip.
