Get Perfect Lips for Valentine’s Day with Juvéderm®

Valentine’s Day has a way of putting smiles front and center — whether that means date nights, photos, or simply feeling good about yourself. If you’ve ever wished your lips were a bit fuller, smoother, or more defined, lip plumping with Juvéderm® can be a subtle way to enhance your natural beauty without changing what makes you you.

At Holladay Dermatology & Aesthetics, we focus on lip enhancements that look soft, balanced, and natural. The goal isn’t dramatic transformation — it’s helping you feel confident every time you smile, speak, or laugh.

Why fuller lips are so appealing

Your lips naturally lose volume over time, and even small changes can affect the balance of your face. No wonder nearly 1.5 million Americans undergo lip augmentation every year, making it one of the top five minimally invasive cosmetic treatments.

Adding gentle fullness can restore definition, smooth fine lines around your mouth, and create a more youthful overall look. Many of our patients are surprised by how much even a tiny enhancement lifts their entire appearance.

Am I a good candidate for lip filler?

Lip filler can be a great option if you want more volume, better symmetry, or softer lines around your mouth. Most healthy adults who aren’t pregnant or breastfeeding are candidates for hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvéderm.

During your consultation, we talk about what you’re hoping to achieve, examine your natural lip shape, and recommend an approach that fits your features — not a one-size-fits-all trend.

Which Juvéderm products do we use?

We use trusted fillers from the Juvéderm family because they’re known for smooth, natural-feeling results. 

We use Juvéderm® ULTRA XC to add noticeable yet tasteful volume to your lips, while Juvéderm® VOLBELLA® XC is ideal for softening fine lines around the mouth and adding subtle definition. In many cases, we combine these products to enhance both lip shape and the surrounding area.

Does lip filler hurt?

This is one of the most common questions we hear — and the answer is usually reassuring. Juvéderm fillers contain lidocaine, which helps minimize discomfort. Most patients describe the feeling as brief pressure or a quick pinch rather than pain. We also take our time and use gentle techniques to keep you as comfortable as possible.

You may notice some swelling or tenderness afterward, especially on the first day or two. This is normal and temporary, and most people feel comfortable returning to normal activities quickly.

When will I see results, and how long do they last?

One of the perks of lip filler is how quickly you’ll see a change. Your lips will look fuller almost immediately, with results continuing to refine as any swelling settles over the next week.

Results typically last several months. Juvéderm ULTRA XC often lasts around six to nine months, while VOLBELLA XC can last closer to a year. Everyone metabolizes filler a bit differently, so maintenance timing varies, but many of our patients choose annual touch-ups to keep their look consistent.

Let your lips do the talking this Valentine’s Day

Whether you’re planning something special or simply want to feel more confident every day, lip plumping with Juvéderm can be a beautiful, low-commitment way to refresh your appearance. We’re here to guide you through the process and help you achieve results that feel natural, balanced, and uniquely yours.
