How can I ensure I won’t get huge fat lips from Juvederm?
I want the skin above my upper lip injected, but if it makes my lips huge, I don’t want it. I think this look today that everyone loves is freakish looking. (huge lips)

Dear jtaylor, It is very common for patients to require lip augmentation techniques to create more vertical red lip show, accentuate the white roll above the lip or even reduce and minimize vertical upper lip lines or smoker’s lines. The judicious use of Juvederm done artistically usually with the use of a microcannula will result in very natural looking lips and the “ducky” or “trout lip” will not be a concern. Quite commonly I will combine micro amounts of Botox together with fractional laser resurfacing either with fractional radio frequency devices such as Fractora or Fractional CO2 together with a tiny amount of Botox and Juvederm based lip augmentation to create the most natural looking smooth, fresh, youthful lips.
I hope this information has been of some assistance and best of luck.
For more information, please review the Juvederm page. Also look up on the SpaMedica website Botox and Fractional lasers.
