Lip injections involve the use of dermal fillers, such as Juvéderm or Revanesse, to enhance the volume, shape, and appearance of the lips.

While the injection process may cause slight discomfort, most formulations include an anesthetic, like lidocaine, to minimize pain. A topical anesthetic can also be applied if requested.
