Injectable Fillers Case

Details for Case #12182

This 26-year-old woman wanted to have fuller lips that were more noticeable. She began looking for a cosmetic doctor in Los Angeles to discuss her options. Finally, she scheduled an appointment with one of the knowledgeable plastic surgeons at Marina Plastic Surgery Associates.

During her consultation, she and her doctor decided that a non-invasive JUVÉDERM treatment could give her the look she desired. JUVÉDERM is an injectable gel filler which can smooth away facial wrinkles or can be injected into the lips in order to give them a plumper appearance. At our practice in Los Angeles, JUVÉDERM is commonly injected for lip augmentation because it makes the lips fuller by utilizing hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a naturally occurring chemical in the body. When the HA is injected, it reacts with the water in your body to add fullness to your features. This patient’s injector dramatically changed the appearance of her lips by injecting both the upper and lower lip with a single treatment of JUVÉDERM.

The “after” photos show very natural looking lips. Her lips are plumper and more luxurious, which is what she wanted. Overall, she was very happy with the results of her treatment with JUVÉDERM in Los Angeles.
