What Are Lip Fillers?

Lip fillers, also known as dermal fillers or injectable fillers, are cosmetic enhancements that can add volume and shape to the lips. Additionally, some may be particularly helpful for reducing lip lines and restoring a youthful contour to the lips. While many lip fillers exist, the ones we use are comprised of hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the body that helps keep skin plump, youthful, and hydrated. Lip fillers come in different forms and strengths, depending on the desired outcome and the specific cosmetic concerns a patient has.

How Do Lip Fillers Work?

Lip fillers are injected directly into the lips using a fine needle, and each session tends to last only a matter of minutes. The hyaluronic acid in the filler works to attract and retain water, which adds volume and plumpness to the lips. In addition, some fillers can stimulate collagen production, which helps keep the lips plump and full even after the filler has dissolved. Eventually, the body breaks down HA fillers through a natural process, allowing for patients to have touch-up treatments or try a different aesthetic approach.

Benefits of Lip Enhancement

Working with a certified injector is key to seeing benefits from lip enhancement, such as:

  • Fuller and Plumper Lips: Lip fillers can add volume to thin or narrow lips, making them appear fuller and more defined. This can help balance out the facial features and create a more youthful, alluring appearance.
  • Smooth Out Fine Lines: As we age, our lips can become thinner and develop fine lines around them. Lip fillers can help smooth out these lines and give the lips a more youthful and smoother appearance.
  • Customizable Results: Lip fillers come in different formulas and strengths, allowing for a customized treatment based on individual needs and desired outcomes. You can work with your injector to achieve your desired lip shape and size.

Non-Surgical Lip Filler Options

At Aesthetic Beauty, we offer a suite of different fillers for lip enhancement, each with its own advantages. During your consultation, our board-certified injector can go over each option with you to match you with the best solution for your goals. Our lip fillers include:

  • Restylane: Restores volume, improves fullness, moderate to severe lines.
  • Restylane Refyne: Optimal for expressive areas around the mouth.
  • RHA Redensity: Weightless filler for lip lines and lip hydration.
  • RHA2: Soft filler for lip enhancement.
  • RHA3: For deeper lines around the lips and mouth.
  • Juvederm Ultra: Gel filler that also boosts collagen and elastin production.

Are Non-Surgical Lip Fillers Right for Me?

Non-surgical lip fillers can be an excellent option for patients looking to enhance their lips’ appearance without surgery. However, consulting with an experienced injector is the first essential step to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. The treatment is open to a wide range of patients, including women and men of most ages. Younger patients tend to enjoy the benefits of increased lip volume, and older patients can reduce signs of aging to restore a youthful facial contour.

Is There a Recovery Period?

One of the benefits of non-surgical lip fillers is that there is little to no downtime, with most patients being able to return to their day right after a treatment session. Some patients may experience mild swelling or bruising at the injection site, but this usually subsides within about 1-2 days. Still, it is important to follow aftercare instructions provided by your injector to ensure the filler settles well and you see optimal results.

Non-Surgical Lip Enhancement Results

The results of lip fillers are not permanent, but they can last anywhere from six months to almost two years, depending on the type of filler used and the individual. Touch-up treatments may be required to maintain the desired look. Also, many patients use touchup treatments to try out different looks for an adaptive aesthetic.
