Lip Fillers
How it Works
Lip fillers are injectable substances used to add volume, shape, and definition to the lips. They are typically made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps retain moisture and plumpness.
Lip fillers work by injecting hyaluronic acid into the lips to enhance their volume and contour. The gel-like substance attracts and holds water, resulting in fuller and more defined lips.

The procedure involves injections, which can cause mild discomfort. Many lip fillers contain a local anesthetic to help minimize pain during the treatment. Topical numbing creams are also commonly used.
A typical lip filler treatment takes about 30 minutes. The procedure is relatively quick, and you can usually return to your daily activities shortly afterward.
Results are often visible immediately after the procedure, although there may be some swelling and redness initially. Final results are usually seen within a week, once any swelling subsides.
The effects of lip fillers typically last between 6 to 12 months, depending on the type of filler used, individual metabolism, and lifestyle factors. Maintenance treatments are needed to sustain results.
Common side effects include temporary swelling, redness, bruising, and tenderness at the injection site. These effects usually resolve within a few days. Rare side effects may occur, so it’s important to discuss potential risks with your provider.
Preparation may include:
- Avoiding Blood Thinners: Refrain from taking medications or supplements that can increase bleeding (e.g., aspirin, fish oil) a few days before the procedure.
- Avoiding Alcohol: Limit alcohol consumption before the treatment to reduce the risk of bruising.
Post-treatment care includes:
- Avoiding Touching: Do not touch or massage the treated area for at least 24 hours.
- Avoiding Strenuous Activities: Refrain from vigorous exercise or activities that may increase blood flow to the lips for 24 hours.
- Using Cold Compresses: Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and discomfort if needed.
Lip filler treatments can be repeated every 6 to 12 months, depending on individual needs and the longevity of results. Your provider can help you establish a treatment schedule that works for you.
