What are Lip Filler Injections?
Lip filler is an injectable treatment that uses hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers to add volume, smooth lines, and refine lip contours. This approach can restore lost fullness, correct asymmetry, and enhance the natural shape of the lips. Most lip filler treatments use hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the body, which helps the filler integrate with the surrounding tissue for a soft and hydrated appearance.
The Lip Filler Procedure
Instant results make lip injections a sought-after treatment that can be completed comfortably with utmost attention to detail in approximately 45 minutes without feeling rushed. Our nurse will create desirable, balanced lips to enhance your appearance, while still maintaining a natural look. The amount of volume added to your lower and/or upper lip during the cosmetic procedure is uniquely tailored to your desired results, taking into consideration your facial shape and proportions.
All of our injectable treatments, including lip enhancement procedures, are administered by trained, certified, and registered medical professionals with years of experience in the medical aesthetics field.
Who Can Benefit from Lip Filler?
Candidates for lip filler include individuals who want to enhance naturally thin lips, restore volume lost with age, or improve lip symmetry. Many patients also seek lip filler to soften fine lines around the mouth or to create a more defined lip border. Ideal candidates are in good health, have realistic expectations, and are willing to maintain their results with maintenance appointments.
What Can Be Combined with Lip Filler?
Lip filler can be performed on its own or combined with other cosmetic treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Botox treatment can smooth lines around the mouth or hide the appearance of a gummy smile through the lip flip technique. Combining treatments can help enhance facial balance and achieve a transformative yet natural result.
What to Expect During Treatment and Recovery
Lip filler treatments are performed in-office and typically take about 30 minutes to complete. A topical numbing cream is applied to help you maintain optimal comfort during the injections. Some mild swelling, tenderness, or redness may occur, but these side effects generally resolve within a few days. Most patients resume their usual activities right after treatment, and results are immediate.
Lip Filler Results
Lip filler can provide soft, natural-looking enhancement that lasts several months to over a year, depending on the product used and your metabolism. Patients seeking more transformative results may benefit from multiple injection sessions. Results can be maintained with periodic touch-up treatments as needed.
