While cosmetic plastic surgery is one way to achieve fuller, thicker lips, it is no longer the only option available today. With advancements in technology and cosmetic procedures, alternative methods exist to enhance lips without going under the knife. One popular option is Juvederm lip filler injections. At Essential Dermatology, our board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Michael Krathen, can help patients choose the option appropriate for their unique needs.
What are the advantages of Juvederm injections vs. plastic surgery?
Here are six benefits of choosing Juvederm over traditional plastic surgery options:
Non-invasive procedure. Unlike surgical lip enhancements, Juvederm lip filler injections are non-invasive procedures that do not require incisions or cuts on the skin, just a quick injection. This means that there is minimal risk of scarring or infection, making this a much safer option for those who are wary of going through a surgical procedure.
Quick and convenient treatment. Juvederm lip filler injections take only a few minutes to administer, making them a convenient option for busy schedules. Patients can even schedule their appointments during their lunch break and return to work right after without any downtime.
Natural-looking results. Juvederm injections use hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the human body that adds volume and moisture to the skin. This means the treatment’s results are natural-looking and not overdone, unlike some surgical procedures that can result in an artificial appearance.
Customizable options. With Juvederm lip filler injections, patients have more control over their desired look than with traditional plastic surgery options, where the surgeon’s technique often determines the outcome. Juvederm allows for more precise and targeted placement of the filler, allowing for a customized approach to achieve one’s desired lip shape and size.
Temporary results. Juvederm is not a permanent solution, which can be seen as both a benefit and a drawback. However, for those who are unsure about committing to a permanent change in their appearance, Juvederm offers temporary results that can last anywhere from six to 12 months. This allows our patients to try out different looks without fearing being permanently stuck with it.
Affordable option. Juvederm injections are often more affordable than traditional plastic surgery options such as lip implants or fat transfer surgeries. This makes it accessible to a wider range of patients who might not otherwise be able to achieve their goals.
