Lip Injections in Northern Alabama and the Huntsville AreaLip injections are intended to plump up thin lips, visibly erase tiny lines around the lips or give the lips a more defined, symmetrical appearance. This can be done with dermal fillers specifically designed for use on the lips, with fat transfer or with silicone lip implants.

At Nease Cosmetic Surgery, we use Juvéderm® Volbella XC for lip injections. Juvéderm® Volbella XC is a hyaluronic-acid-based dermal filler specifically formulated for lip augmentation.

Juvéderm® Volbella XC is also highly effective for filling in the small vertical lines around the mouth, frequently called ‘smoker’s lines’, although they can occur around the mouths of non-smokers as well. The medical term for these lines is ‘perioral rhytids’ and Juvéderm® Volbella XC performs well in visibly erasing them.
