Advanced Lip Filler for a Flawless, Youthful Pout
Versa lip filler is an injectable gel made of hyaluronic acid that can plump up and smooth out lips. It provides natural-looking enhancement and long-lasting results when injected skillfully by a qualified provider.
Plump, smooth, and well-defined lips are a sign of youth and beauty for many people. While some are naturally blessed in the lip department, others seek a little enhancement to achieve their ideal look.
Luckily, lip augmentation has become increasingly accessible and natural-looking with the advent of dermal fillers. Lip augmentation was the second most popular minimally invasive cosmetic procedure in 2022 in the United States.
This increasing popularity is largely thanks to advanced dermal fillers that provide subtle, natural-looking enhancement — one of which is Versa lip filler.
What is Versa Lip Filler?
Versa Lip Filler is an injectable dermal filler containing hyaluronic acid that received FDA approval in 2017 for lip enhancement and treating moderate to severe facial wrinkles.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring polysaccharide found in the body’s connective tissues and skin. It binds to water molecules to help hydrate and volumize tissue. The hyaluronic acid in Versa Lip Filler integrates smoothly into the lips due to its gel-like consistency.
Versa contains smaller, smoother hyaluronic acid particles than other fillers, providing a very natural look and feel. Over time, the filler is gradually broken down by the body and absorbed. Results typically last 6 to 18 months before requiring touch-ups.
With over 1 million treatments performed worldwide, Versa lip filler has an excellent safety profile with minimal side effects. In addition to adding volume and smoothing lines in the lips, Versa can also be used to enhance other facial areas.

Benefits of Versa Lip Filler
Versa has been specially formulated to enhance, contour, and hydrate the delicate lip area. Here are some of the key benefits of this exciting new filler:
Smooth, seamless volume
The smooth consistency of Versa allows for even distribution throughout the lip area. This creates uniform fullness without lumps or ridges.
Subtle plumping and definition
Versa adds just the right amount of volume to create a perfect pout. Lips appear naturally full, well-defined, and youthful.
Moisturizing effects
The hyaluronic acid in Versa boosts moisture levels and smooths out fine lines and roughness. Lips feel soft and supple.
Customizable enhancement
With its adaptable consistency, Versa can be used for delicate definition of the lip line or more substantial plumping of the body of the lips.
Long-lasting results
Effects typically persist for 6 to 18 months before being gradually absorbed by the body. Most patients only need 1-2 touch-up sessions per year.
Versa can also subtly enhance other areas like smile lines and cheeks. However, the formula has been specially optimized for the unique contours and mobile nature of the lips.
What Are The Potential Side Effects of Versa?
When considering any dermal filler, potential side effects are a valid concern. With Versa lip filler, certain risks can be minimized with proper injection technique by an experienced provider. However, some side effects may still occur.
The potential side effects of Revanesse® VersaTM lip filler include:
| Pinpoint bleeding | Small amounts of blood may emerge from the injection site. This is common and usually resolves quickly. |
| Redness | The skin around the lips may become reddened after the procedure. This should fade within a few hours. |
| Tenderness | The lips may feel sore or sensitive for a couple days after the injections. |
| Itching | Temporary itching sensation around the lips is not uncommon. |
| Mild bruising | Some light bruising around the lips may develop and last for several days. |
| Swelling | Moderate swelling and enlarged lips are expected after injections. This should subside within a week. |
| Pain | Mild to moderate pain is common during and after the procedure. This usually resolves with over-the-counter pain medication. |
| Acne-like skin reactions | In rare cases, small bumps may develop around the lips that resemble acne. These typically go away on their own. |
Allergic reactions are very rare with hyaluronic acid fillers. Any potential allergies can be assessed during the consultation. Lumpiness can be avoided by expert injection in small amounts across different planes within the lip tissue.
Migration or filler movement is unlikely given Versa’s cohesive nature. Tyndall effect or blue tinting almost never occurs with smooth, properly placed hyaluronic acid filler.
Complementary Treatments for Comprehensive Rejuvenation
While Versa lip filler enhances lip shape and volume, additional treatments can further improve the appearance and texture of the lips:
- Botox lip flip is a treatment that uses Botox injections to relax the muscles around the lips. This creates a subtle lip enhancement effect that complements the volumizing effects of Versa filler.
- Dermal fillers in areas like the nose and chin can help create facial balance when combined with lip fillers. Adjusting proportions between the lips and surrounding facial features allows for a more harmonious overall aesthetic.
Together, treatments like Botox lip flips and dermal fillers shape the lips and facial contours in unison. This delivers complete and natural-looking rejuvenation for soft, supple and flawless lips.

Ideal Lip Shapes Achievable with Versa
With its adaptable consistency and moldability, Versa filler can be used to create a wide range of elegant and youthful lip shapes and profiles:
- The keyhole lip shape features a delicate central peak with a defined cupid’s bow, tapered corners, and a plump, minimal pout. Strategic placement of Versa filler can produce this subtly accentuated shape.
- To achieve symmetrical, contoured lips, Versa can be injected to balance uneven lips, define the cupid’s bow, and correct asymmetry. The philtrum columns can also be sculpted to improve definition.
- For those wanting to preserve their natural lip outline, Versa allows for subtle enhancement and increased fullness while maintaining the existing lip shape. Gentle augmentation and bolstering of the vermilion border refines the lips.
- More significant lip augmentation is possible by using Versa to uniformly add volume throughout the upper and lower lips. This creates the appearance of larger, pillowy lips with improved symmetry.
- Heart-shaped lips with a delicate central peak can be attained through precise Versa injection and molding techniques to focus volume in the lip body.
- A plump yet narrowed lip shape is achievable by concentrating Versa filler placement in the lip body while avoiding the outer edges.
With skill and an artistic eye, an experienced injector like Bellava can create a customized and natural-looking lip shape using the appropriate Versa injection methods and filler amounts.
Who is a Good Candidate for Versa?
Versa lip filler is an option for adults seeking subtle to moderate enhancement or rejuvenation of their lips. Good candidates include:
- Those with thin or uneven lips wishing for added fullness and definition
- Individuals looking to restore plumpness lost with age
- Anyone wanting to smooth out vertical lip lines
- Those seeking some added facial rejuvenation and hydration
Versa isn’t recommended for those under 18 years old or pregnant or breastfeeding women. Individuals with certain medical conditions, allergies, or who take certain medications may not be good candidates. Be sure to discuss your full medical history with your provider.

- Consultation
The team at Bellava will discuss your treatment goals, review your medical history, and determine if you’re a good candidate. They’ll explain the potential risks and what to expect.

A topical anesthetic is applied to maximize your comfort during injections. This kicks in within about 20 minutes.

Using an ultra-fine needle, we will carefully inject small amounts of Versa in specific areas of the lips and around the lip line.

Recovery and Aftercare Tips After Versa Lip Filler
While you can get back to regular activities right away, here are some tips for your recovery:
| 1 | Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours. This prevents excessive swelling and pressure on the treatment sites. |
| 2 | Steer clear of extreme heat or cold. This means no saunas, facials, or ice packs for a few days. |
| 3 | Don’t apply makeup for at least four hours. Use extra gentle face washing and cleansing in the first 48 hours. |
| 4 | Swelling and bruising are normal. Use ice packs and OTC pain relievers as needed for discomfort. |
| 5 | Stick to soft, liquid foods for the first day to avoid excessive pressure on the lips. |
With proper aftercare, you’ll be ready to show off your beautiful results within a few days!
