Lip fillers are an amazing option for creating plumper and smoother lips. They are the most popular way to increase lip size because they are minimally invasive and offer quicker results and recovery time compared to surgery.
The most common type of filler used is hyaluronic acid and is used to plump and define lips. It creates the appearance of thick lips by attaching itself to water molecules in the skin.
Lip fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a natural sugar protein that hydrates the skin by retaining water and providing structural support to skin tissues. They provide immediate visible improvements to the lips by smoothing wrinkles and plumping skin.

Most dermal filler treatments last six to eight months, but some results can last up to 12 months, depending on the filler used. Patients can receive repeat treatments every six months if desired. We recommend additional treatments every six months to a year for patients who want to achieve year-round plumpness and structure in their lips.
Swelling is a completely normal side effect of lip injections and tends to last no more than two weeks. Icing the area will help ease any swelling, itching, bruising or pain that may occur as a result of the treatment.
