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

Depending on the type of filler you use, and the quantity injected into your lips, some of the most common benefits include:
  • 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

For a period of one week prior to your procedure, avoid aspirin, smoking, and alcohol. This will help reduce swelling and the chance of bruising. If you do form a bruise, you should be able to cover it up with makeup.

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.

The most common side effects include swelling, bruising, and some discomfort. These usually last only a few days, and are completely gone within a week, in most cases. Other, less common side effects include, but are not limited to severe itching, redness, and a lot of swelling. These are usually an indication of an allergic reaction to the filler.
Absolutely! Both men and women can have their lips augmented. A good candidate is someone who is bothered by thin or asymmetrical lips.
