Lip Injections Santa Barbara

Our Santa Barbara Juvederm injections cause minimal discomfort and down time. However, some swelling and bruising is to be expected, which could last up to 7 days. Many of our patients are able to resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure.

One major advantage of Juvederm dermal fillers is that they are reversible. If you would like to change anything about the results of your treatment, discuss it with Dr. Morrissette when you come for your one-week post op appointment. He has the ability to dissolve any unwanted filler using a reversal enzyme known as hyaluronidase.

The lips are one of the most alluring facial features. Plump, attractive lips can be a dramatic enhancement of your natural beauty. If you inherited less full lips, or they are thinning due to the natural aging process, lip injections can provide a non-surgical option for lip enhancement for a full, voluptuous pout. Dr. Michael Morrissette’s understanding of facial beauty and balance makes him the best choice for lip enhancement.

Lip injections are a simple, easy way to receive a more appealing pout – when performed correctly. Through a series of carefully placed injections, Dr. Morrissette can sculpt plumper, more youthful lips. Thinning lips and smile lines can add years to your appearance, but modern aesthetics makes it possible to create more natural allure. When you are seeking to enhance the size, shape, and overall look of your lips or want to reduce and smooth lip lines, Dr. Morrissette can help.

Lip injections can do wonders to heighten the beauty of your facial features. There is a delicate balance that should exist between the upper and lower lip, with the lower lip being slightly more prominent providing a natural pout. Lip injections can not only enhance lip size, but can achieve the following: Enhance small lips, correct lip asymmetry, smooth lip lines and help create a more appealing overall facial look

Dr. Morrissette uses Juvéderm injectables for lip augmentation. These hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers work with the natural building blocks of your own skin to plump lips and reduce lines and wrinkles around your mouth. Hyaluronic acid has an amazing capacity to attract moisture, providing natural-looking volume and fullness. Juvéderm Ultra XC brings natural-looking lip volume, and Juvéderm Volbella creates a subtler enhancement, and works to soften the appearance of vertical lip lines.

Hyaluronic acid is an almost miraculous part of you’re the structure of your natural skin. It works to deliver nutrients, hydrate, and add cushion. Unfortunately, with age, the body stops producing as much HA. The Juvéderm line of HA lip fillers are made from non-animal, stabilized hyaluronic acids, and are the filler of choice for a subtle lip enhancement that looks and feels soft, plump, and natural.

Lip enhancement is performed in the comfort of our comfortable Ventura offices, where our entire staff is focused upon providing the most positive patient experience. Dr. Morrissette will perform a series of tiny, strategically-placed injections to your lips to add volume and fullness. A topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure your complete comfort during the procedure. Your non-surgical lip augmentation can be performed in less than 30 minutes, easy to fit into a busy schedule. Your friends may not know exactly what is different about your look, but will notice you look younger, renewed, and more attractive.

Since lip injections are a minimally-invasive procedure, there is no downtime required following lip enhancement. You may experience some mild swelling or bruising at the injection site. This is temporary and should subside within a few days. You should avoid alcohol, vigorous exercise, or any pressure on your lips (sorry, no kissing) for 24 hours following lip injections to allow the filler to settle into place.
