What Are Lip Fillers?

Suppleness and fullness in the lips are well-known signs of youthful beauty and good health. If you are unhappy with lips that have lost volume over time or you were born with thin lips due to genetics, lip fillers may be an excellent solution for you. In addition to increasing volume, injections can enhance lip border definition, sharpen the Cupid’s bow, and minimize pesky, vertical lip lines. Most lip fillers are engineered with hyaluronic acid (HA), a biocompatible compound that binds to water molecules. When injected, HA-based fillers enhance hydration and radiance, creating a smile that is unforgettable and alluring. At Lake Norman Plastic Surgery, Dr. Wilson uses the Juvéderm® line of fillers, known for their safety, versatility, and ability to deliver natural, long-lasting results.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Lip Fillers?

Ideal candidates for lip augmentation with dermal fillers are those seeking a more sultry, feminine smile without implants or fat grafting. If your lips tend to disappear and look flat and thin when you smile, you are likely to benefit from this innovative, customized procedure. Candidates should have realistic expectations and understand that periodic touch-ups are needed to maintain results.

What Are the Benefits of Lip Fillers?

Lip filler treatments can provide subtle but transformative improvements, including:

  • A more youthful, inviting smile
  • Increased lip volume and fullness
  • Improvement of vertical lip lines
  • Increased definition in Cupid’s bow
  • Sharper lip borders
  • A boost in self-confidence
  • Results that can persist for 6 to 12 months

What to Expect on the Day of a Lip Filler Treatment

On the day of your procedure, we will welcome you into our state-of-the-art offices and review your treatment plan with you, addressing any last-minute questions or concerns. We will then apply a topical anesthetic to your lips, which takes approximately 20 minutes to take effect. This ensures that your aesthetic journey is painless and free from stress and anxiety. Many lip fillers contain built-in lidocaine, which further enhances your peace of mind and well-being. Once you are relaxed and ready, we will outline the injection points for your customized treatment plan. We will then administer your chosen lip filler to create a more vibrant, attractive smile.

Lip Filler Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Lip Filler Care

After lip fillers, there is minimal downtime or restrictions. However, you may notice mild lip puffiness, bruising, and swelling for several days after the procedure. You will be able to resume normal activities immediately, with over-the-counter pain relievers as needed. As a precaution, avoid strenuous exercise for 1 to 2 days after your treatment, and steer clear of any activities that could increase blood flow to the targeted area, such as a facial or massage. Avoid touching your lips for 48 hours.
