What Filler is Best for Lips?

Preparing for a lip injection procedure.
May 7, 2023

Everyone wants a pair of kissable, soft lips. However, whether it’s due to age or genetics, your lips may not look how you want them to look. Fortunately, you have options. You can get lip fillers to plump up your lips and enhance your smile. Continue reading to learn more about lip fillers that are used in lip augmentation procedures.

Soft-Tissue Fillers

There are several soft-tissue fillers. The most commonly used soft-tissue filler consists of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid helps your cells produce collagen. Collagen smooths, firms, and plumps your lips for a natural, beautiful look. Soft-tissue fillers can last up to one year.

Juvederm® Ultra

The Juvederm® Ultra lip filler is a natural choice if you have very fine, receding lips. Not only does this filler increase your lip size, it smooths away the vertical lines that often appear above and along thin lips. The addition of smoother lips will also serve to make your lips appear more youthful and supple. Best of all, you won’t need a second injection for up to one year after your initial lip augmentation.

Juvederm® Volbella

Do you want to change the shape of your lips or improve their definition? Volbella is an excellent filler if you want to give your lips a cupid’s bow and more volume. In addition to creating a desirable cupid’s bow, Volbella can erase “smoker’s lines,” further enhancing the overall appearance of your mouth. This filler will also last up to one year before you need a second injection.

Restylane® Refyne

If you’re unhappy with your nasolabial folds or find your “marionette lines” to be too pronounced, then you may prefer Refyne. Refyne softens the appearance of protruding nasolabial folds and deep marionette lines to erase years off your face and increase your lips’ volume. Refyne does more than plump your lips; this lip filler adds structural support to your lips as well. It can last for several months.
