Lip filler is a cosmetic procedure that involves injecting a dermal filler, usually made of hyaluronic acid, into the lips to enhance their volume, shape, and definition. The treatment provides a fuller, more youthful appearance and can also correct asymmetry or add subtle contouring. The results are typically temporary, lasting between six months to a year, depending on the type of filler used.
Lip filler injections are an excellent option for individuals who desire to enhance the volume, shape, or symmetry of their lips. Ideal candidates for lip filler treatment include:
Individuals with Thin or Uneven Lips: Those seeking to add volume or improve the shape and symmetry of their lips.
Patients with Signs of Aging: Lip filler is ideal for patients who have noticed a loss of lip volume and definition due to the natural aging process.
Those Seeking a Non-Surgical Solution: Individuals who prefer a non-invasive treatment option to enhance the lips without the need for surgery.
While lip filler is a safe and effective treatment for many patients, certain factors may influence candidacy. You may not be a good candidate for lip filler if you:
Have Active Infections or Inflammation: Patients with oral herpes, cold sores, or other infections around the lips may need to postpone the procedure until the infection has cleared.
Are Pregnant or Breastfeeding: Lip fillers are generally not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women due to potential risks.
Have Allergies to Fillers: If you have a known allergy to hyaluronic acid or other components of the filler, this treatment may not be suitable for you.
Dr. Schwarcz will review your medical history and discuss any concerns during your consultation to determine if lip filler is the right choice for you.
Lip filler treatments are quick and minimally invasive, typically performed in Dr. Schwarcz’s Manhattan office. Here's what to expect:
Consultation: Dr. Schwarcz will begin with a thorough consultation to assess your lip anatomy, understand your goals, and create a customized treatment plan that enhances your natural features.
Numbing: A topical numbing cream will be applied to the lips to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Many fillers also contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to reduce discomfort.
Injection: Using a fine needle, Dr. Schwarcz will carefully inject the chosen dermal filler (usually hyaluronic acid-based) into the lips. The injections are strategically placed to create volume, enhance shape, and improve symmetry.
Duration: The procedure typically takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the extent of treatment needed, and there is minimal downtime.
One of the major benefits of lip filler treatments is the minimal recovery time. After the procedure, you can expect some mild swelling, redness, or bruising around the injection site, but these side effects usually resolve within a few days. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment.
To ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery, Dr. Schwarcz will provide post-treatment instructions. It's essential to avoid touching or massaging the lips for a few hours and refrain from strenuous exercise or excessive sun exposure for 24–48 hours.
The results of lip filler are typically visible immediately after the procedure, with the full effect developing over the next few days as swelling subsides. Depending on the type of filler used, results can last between six months to a year, and maintenance treatments are recommended to preserve volume.
