After Preparing for Lip Filler Injections
Before your lip filler treatment, a consultation will help determine your aesthetic goals and evaluate whether you are a good candidate. To minimize the risk of bruising, avoid blood-thinning medications and alcohol for at least 48 hours prior to the procedure. During your consultation, our providers will discuss the type of filler best suited to your needs and address any concerns you may have.
The Lip Filler Treatment
A topical anesthetic or lidocaine will be applied during the lip injection treatment to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. The physician will carefully place the dermal filler into the treatment area, using advanced techniques to enhance your lips’ natural contours. The process typically takes 20-30 minutes, and you’ll see immediate results. Depending on your aesthetic goals, you may need a follow-up session to achieve optimal lip volume and shape.
Recovery After Lip Filler
After the treatment, mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site is normal and will subside within a few days. Depending on the type of filler used, you can expect the results of your lip enhancement to last 6-9 months. Our team will provide post-treatment care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Most patients can resume normal activities on the same day with minimal downtime.
