What Is Lip Filler?Lip fillers are currently the most popular way to increase lip size.
There are a variety of different filler products on the market that are used to augment the lips.
You may have heard of Juvederm or Restalyne, and within these brands, there are different products that range in their consistency (think honey vs. whip cream) depending on your anatomy and desired result.
How Can I Prepare For My Appointment?I often recommend bringing a few photos of lips to understand the look you want, and to discuss whether the desired outcome is feasible given your individual anatomy. Just like any other part of the body, everyone’s lips are slightly different.
Additionally, discuss with your nurse how much volume you desire. I prefer filling lips to give a natural, subtle enhancement and often recommend underfilling as opposed to overfilling on a first visit. Ask questions about the type of filler, the amount of filler to be injected initially, and its side effects in order to make an informed decision.
It’s important to avoid blood thinners such as aspirin, Motrin, Aleve, and alcohol, herbal supplements, or multivitamins several days before and after the procedure to reduce bruising
How Long Does Lip Filler Last?Your body absorbs the filler over time. Fillers last approximately 6-12 months.
Is The Injection Painful?Filler injections may be mildly uncomfortable, and for patients who are apprehensive, we recommend coming a few minutes early to have some local numbing cream applied to the area.
The injectable also has a local numbing agent that is introduced along with the filler, so patients are comfortable post-procedure.
Can Fillers Be Removed?Yes. Most on-label lip fillers are dissolvable and can be removed by injecting an enzyme called hyaluronidase to break up the particles and cause the filler to break down. This can be performed in the office.
What Should I Expect In Terms Of Aftercare?Expect a moderate amount of swelling 1-3 days after the procedure that may initially distort the shape of your lips. Monitor your progress, and I recommend you follow up with your injector within 2 weeks to address any ongoing issues.
By 2 weeks. The lips usually have had enough time to adjust to their increased volume and you can visualize a final result.
