WHAT ARE LIP INJECTIONS?
Some people are simply born with thin lips. Others are bothered by uneven, assymetrical lips, or lips that are out of proportion to the rest of the face. You can try to correct these issues with lip liners, lipsticks, and other makeup tricks, but that doesn’t last. If you want full, even, voluptuous lips for the long term, lip injections may be the answer.
Lip injections are exactly what they sound like. A filler, whether it’s a commercial solution such as hyaluronic acid.

WHAT LIP INJECTIONS CAN DO FOR YOU
- Increased lip volume.
- Corrected asymmetry.
- Corrected irregular vermilion border (the demarcation between the lip and the adjacent skin).
- Smooth out fine lines on and around the lips.
- Reshaping of the lips.
HOW ARE LIP INJECTIONS PERFORMED?
First you’ll have a consultation with our professional injectionist, who will help you decide what type of lip filler to use, and how much to change the contour of your lips in order to get the results you’re looking for.
Once those goals are in place, the procedure will begin with a topical numbing agent being applied to your lips to ease discomfort caused by the needle. Then our injectionist will use a syringe with a small needle to inject the selected filler into several areas of your lips. Depending on your goals, this may include injections in the upper, lower, or both lips, and possibly around the edges of your lips as well.
Once the lip injections are complete, you’ll receive care instructions. The entire procedure should only take about 30 minutes, and you should be able to resume all your normal activities right away.

FAQs
When will I see results?
Immediately! Your lips will be plump and voluminous as soon as the treatment is done. There will be some swelling, so it will be about two weeks before you see the final results.
Can I get more than one syringe of filler in my lips?
Yes. You may want to wait after having one syringe injected, so you can see the results of that before deciding to get a second one. But if you wish, you can have two done during the same appointment.
How long do lip injection results last?
It depends on the product injected. For a soft tissue filler that has hyaluronic acid, the average longevity is six months to one year. However, you can get repeat injections sooner, if you prefer.
Do lip injections hurt?
Some people experience more pain than others. You need to know this so you’re prepared. You will feel some discomfort during the procedure, as the lips are quite sensitive. A topical numbing agent is applied prior to the injections to help decrease discomfort. After the injections, your lips may be a bit tender, but an over-the-counter pain medication should help, if you find it bothersome.
Is there anything I can do to prepare for my lip injections?
Are there any risks to lip injections?
The type of lip injections you have done will determine the probability and type of complications. A hyaluronic acid-based filler usually carries minimal risks, but asymmetry and bump formation may occur. Infection and scarring are also possible complications.
