Juvederm Volbella

A new lip filler that provides gorgeous volume and sexier contours.

For clients who would like to avoid the more invasive procedure of lip augmentation with implants, injections with Volbella may represent a wonderful alternative that achieves the same sensual fullness. Volbella works to volumize and hydrate thin, depleted lips that have lost their fullness due to the aging process or poor genetics. Volbella also improves lip symmetry and counters the lines that form around the mouth.

What is Unique About Volbella?

Like Vollure, Volbella is formulated with the proprietary Vycross technology that combines variously weighted hyaluronic acid molecules. This helps to increase Volbella’s longevity and efficacy. The hyaluronic acid itself is the key ingredient working to moisturize and hydrate the lips for a more youthful aesthetic.

After the Procedure

A few patients will experience some minor swelling, redness, or bruising after Volbella injections. This is normal and will abate within 24 hours on average. Dr. Karam recommends using an ice pack and the homeopathic remedy Arnica to counter these side effects. It’s also recommended to avoid sun exposure and rigorous exercise directly after treatment.

What’s Next?

If you think Volbella might be right for your aesthetic goals, don’t hesitate to contact our San Diego offices today to set up an initial consultation with Dr. Karam. He will examine your lips, review your medical history and create a customized treatment plan to address your individual concerns with your appearance.

Reviews

Francine M.

"I had a vertical restore at age 65 with Dr Amir Karam. It has been a little over a year and I am delighted with the results. Some of my friends have not even noticed - I just look rested. Dr Karam will provide you with all the information and supplements that you need to make the procedure and the recovery time as comfortable as possible. I usually bruise very easily but with the supplements that were given to me prior to my procedure and afterwards, my bruises were gone within a week."

"I highly recommend Dr. Karam and would go back to him for anything I might want done in the future. I totally trust his approach and recommendations. You won't be disappointed!"

"I'm one month out from a Vertical Restore with Dr Karam. Dr Karam is an incredibly talented Surgeon. I can barely see my scars already. I also did a laser peel, within 8 days I was wearing makeup and admiring my new jawline and neck. I'm 65 this month and so happy I chose him. He is the best there is. His staff are fun, caring and kind. They made my entire experience so easy. I would not hesitate or even think about going anywhere else. Check out his Instagram account. He does all his content himself. Extremely informative, with many before and after photos. I decided on Dr Karam after researching his Instagram and had made my decision before we had even met."

"Dr Karam is a great surgeon, a true artist and a wonderful human being. He has done 2 procedures on me over the last 3 years. Both with excellent results. His fat transfer and his lip lift technique are extraordinary. I wouldn't think of going to anyone else and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for the best."
