Experience Fuller, More Voluptuous Lips

Many people desire fuller, plumper lips, but not everyone is blessed with them naturally. As we age, our lips may lose volume and become less defined, which can negatively impact our overall facial appearance. Fortunately, Lip Fillers are a popular and effective solution for enhancing the lips. When expertly applied, they can add volume and bring back a youthful, natural fullness to the lips.

Lip Filler vs. Lip Lift

When it comes to enhancing your lips appearance, there are two main options: Lip Fillers and lip lifts. Both can help you achieve fuller, more youthful-looking lips, but they work in different ways.

Lip fillers involve injecting a gel-like substance, usually hyaluronic acid, into the lips to add volume and shape. The procedure is quick and relatively painless, with results that can last up to six months or more, depending on the type of filler used.

In contrast, a lip lift is a surgical procedure that involves removing a small amount of skin from the upper lip to lift it and make it appear fuller. This procedure is permanent and can provide more dramatic results than fillers.

Ultimately, whether you choose lip fillers or a lip lift depends on your personal preferences and aesthetic goals. It's important to discuss both options with your provider to determine which one is right for you.

Considering Lip Implants

While fillers and lifts are popular options for enhancing the lips, some people may prefer a more permanent solution. That's where lip implants come in.

Lip implants involve surgically inserting small silicone or saline-filled devices into the lips to enhance the shape and volume. Unlike fillers, which require regular touch-ups every few months, implants are designed to be permanent.

A consultation is ideal to decide if implants are right for you.

Consultation and Preparation

A consultation is a critical step to assess your eligibility for treatment and go over your aesthetic objectives. During your consultation, we will review your medical history and facial structure in order to determine the most beneficial plan of action that meets all of your needs. We take pride in providing you with personalized care tailored just for you.

Before receiving Lip Fillers, you should avoid taking certain medications and supplements such as aspirin, ibuprofen, St. John's Wort, vitamin E, primrose oil, and other supplements to minimize bruising and swelling.

Choosing Lip Fillers

Lip filler procedures are a popular cosmetic treatment designed to enhance the appearance of the lips. These procedures are typically customized to each patient's unique needs and aesthetic goals, taking into account factors such as body type, facial structure, and desired results. The type and amount of filler used will vary depending on the individual, with some patients opting for a subtle enhancement while others prefer a more dramatic change.

Ultimately, the goal of a Lip Fillers procedure is to achieve a natural-looking result that enhances the patient's natural beauty and boosts their confidence.

Your Lip Fillers Treatment

The actual injection process typically takes only 15-60 minutes, depending on how many areas are being treated. Before beginning injections, we will apply numbing cream or inject local anesthesia into the area around your mouth to ensure no discomfort.

Once numbness sets in, we can begin injecting small amounts of filler into strategic points around the mouth using either a needle or cannula (a blunt-tipped instrument).

After each injection point has been filled sufficiently, it's time to massage the area gently to ensure even distribution.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

You will see results immediately after your procedure, with lips taking on more volume and plumpness. You will also see a degree of swelling, which will make it difficult to see the full results of the procedure. Your lips will continue to fill out as the swelling goes down.

Lip Filler Swelling Stages

If you're considering getting Lip Fillers, it's important to understand the swelling stages that come with the procedure.

Immediately Following Your Procedure

After your lip filler treatment, you may experience some redness and tenderness around your lips. This is normal and should subside within a few hours.

Day One

For the first 24 hours after your procedure, you may notice that your lips are significantly swollen, but this is to be expected. Applying ice packs to your lips for 10-15 minutes at a time can help reduce swelling.

Day Two

Swelling will likely peak on the second day after your procedure. Your lips may feel tender and sore, and you may experience some bruising around the injection sites. Continue applying ice packs as needed to manage swelling.

Day Three

By day three, you should start to see a significant reduction in swelling. Your lips will still be tender, but the worst of the swelling should be over.

Two Weeks

At this point, most of the swelling should have subsided, and your lips will start to look more natural. However, it's important to note that everyone's healing process is different, so some people may still experience minor swelling or tenderness at this stage.

Four Weeks

After four weeks, any residual swelling or tenderness should have completely subsided. Your lips should look and feel natural at this point.
