What is Lip Filler?

Lip filler is an injectable treatment that uses synthetic hyaluronic acid—a moisturizing humectant that exists naturally in your skin—to add volume, smooth lines, and balance the shape of your lips. Hyaluronic acid-based lip fillers are soft and flexible, so your lips look natural when moving and talking.

How it works.

Hyaluronic acid in lip fillers attracts water, creating natural-looking volume in the lips, smoothing fine lines, and helping to correct your shape, depending on your desired results.

Things to Keep In Mind for Treatment

  1. Avoid taking blood-thinning medications and supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or vitamin E for about a week prior to your treatment.
  2. No dental work 2 weeks prior to treatment, even if your dental work is as simple as a routine cleaning.
  3. No vaccines or medical procedures 2 weeks prior or following filler treatment.
  4. Refrain from consuming alcohol and smoking for at least 24 hours before the procedure.

Lip Filler FAQs
  • Is there any downtime after lip filler?

    You may experience some redness and swelling at the injection sites. However, you should still be able to go about your normal activities—except strenuous activities, including exercise, which you should avoid for 24 to 48 hours after treatment.

  • How long do results last?

    Lip filler typically lasts between 6 and 12 months. It depends on the type of filler your clinician chooses, how fast your body metabolizes it, and how much filler you receive.

  • Can lip filler be used in a “lip flip”?

    Yes, lip filler and Botox can be used together in a “lip flip,” minimizing a “gummy” smile and giving your lips a fuller look.

  • Does getting lip filler hurt?

    Lip filler injections may cause mild discomfort or a brief pinch, but most patients tolerate the procedure well. Topical numbing agents and ice are often used to minimize discomfort.

  • What if I don’t like the results of my lip filler?

    If you’re unhappy with your filler results, consult with your clinician. Fillers can be adjusted or even dissolved. Patience and communication can often lead to the best outcomes.

  • Does lip filler stretch out your lip skin?

    Lip filler temporarily volumizes the lips but does not permanently stretch the skin. Over time, as your filler dissolves, the skin’s natural elasticity usually allows it to retract. However, excessive or frequent injections may lead to some skin laxity. That’s why seeking treatment from an experienced clinician specializing in the filler is vital to understanding and minimizing potential risks.

  • How can I make sure my lips will look natural and not like duck lips?

    It’s essential to use the right product, volume, and injection technique to achieve a natural-looking result with lip fillers. Our clinicians have the experience and artistry to deliver plump, natural-looking lips. We also offer one of the largest selections of filler brands and types to best suit your unique needs. Remember to communicate your desired look and opt for gradual enhancements rather than dramatic changes in a single session.
