What is Juvéderm Volbella® XC?
Fuller lips have never been more popular, but when patients consider lip fillers for the perfect pout, they typically still want them to remain somewhat natural. Juvederm Volbella XC was developed to create a subtle fill for the lips. It can also address laugh lines, marionette lines, and the vertical lip lines commonly called “smoker’s lines.” Juvéderm Volbella XC still has a hyaluronic acid base, but the consistency is softer and less structured in this formulation than in previous formulas.
It is also designed to induce less swelling than some of the other filler injections in the Juvéderm family, which is why it is designed to be injected more superficially into fine lines and wrinkles, even those that occur outside of the perioral area (the area around the mouth). This property also makes it much more amenable to injecting into the tear troughs in the lower lids since the overlying skin is quite thin. Fillers that tend to attract more water and have a thicker property can cause swelling and blue discoloration of the lower lids, known as a Tyndall effect, which can make the lower lids even puffier and darker in discoloration.
Who is a Candidate?
A good candidate for Juvéderm Volbella XC dermal filler injections is a patient struggling with thinning lips and looking for a softer fill to the lips or a patient with vertical lip lines around the mouth that they want to smooth out. Those looking to fill the deep grooves of the lower lids, known as “tear troughs,” can also benefit from this product. Individuals suffering from one or multiple severe allergies or those who have thin skin may need to seek alternative treatment options.

What our patients say
View Testimonials
For patients new to lip enhancement, trying something like Juvéderm Volbella XC is great for those worried about going too big initially, as you can add subtle volume and lip fullness. As with all fillers, results are seen immediately, which can be helpful when patients are deciding how many syringes should be injected for the desired result.
The Juvederm Volbella Procedure
The procedure begins with cleaning and sanitizing the treatment area. While Juvederm Volbella injections are usually well tolerated by most patients, a topical numbing cream can help with discomfort. Dr. Sweat will inject the smooth gel formula into the appropriate areas. Once the injections are done, you can return to work or school immediately.
Lips
Juvederm Volbella is expertly designed to enhance lip shape and fullness while delivering natural-looking results.
Perioral Lines
Also known as “lip lines” or “smoker’s lines,” Volbella effectively softens the fine wrinkles around the mouth, smoothing the appearance.
Marionette Lines
Volbella can diminish the lines extending from the corners of the mouth to the chin, restoring a more youthful and balanced look.
Tear Troughs
This filler can subtly address hollowing under the eyes, reducing the appearance of dark circles and tiredness.
Benefits
of Juvederm Volbella
Known for its smooth consistency and precision, Volbella is ideal for treating delicate areas, such as the lips and the lines around them:
The Results
Patients receiving Juvederm Volbella treatments can expect an immediate improvement in the appearance of upper lip lines and lip volume. The result will be softer and less structured than treatments performed with other dermal fillers, such as Juvéderm Voluma XC, Juvéderm XC, or Juvéderm Ultra XC.
Swelling will be evident at first at the injection sites and will begin to reduce within a few days. It can be made better with ice or oral Arnica Montana, a helpful product to help decrease bruising and swelling immediately after any filler injection.
If you are looking for a softer, more subtle lip enhancement, filler of fine lines and wrinkles, or enhancement and softening of the lower lid region, Juvéderm Volbella XC may be right for you. A consultation with Dr. Sweat or one of his expert injectors will help you understand your options, and this facial rejuvenation treatment can usually be performed during the same visit.
