For those seeking other lip enhancement options, consider:
Surgical Lip Augmentation: A permanent solution for fuller lips using fat grafting and other surgical techniques.
Dysport + Botox “Lip Flip”: Subtly enhance the upper lip by relaxing the muscles, making the lip appear fuller without adding volume.
While alternatives offer unique benefits, lip filler remains the most versatile and customizable solution for instant, non-surgical lip enhancement.
ALTERNATIVES
Enhance your lip filler results with these complementary treatments:
Facial Fat Transfer: Add volume to other areas of the face, such as the cheeks or temples, for a more balanced, rejuvenated appearance.
Combining lip filler with facial fat transfer can create a cohesive, youthful look that enhances your entire face.
COMPLEMENTARY
Lip filler provides instant, natural-looking results, enhancing the volume, shape, and definition of your lips. Whether you prefer a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic look, your lips will appear plump, balanced, and beautifully refreshed. With proper maintenance, you can enjoy long-lasting, stunning results.
RESULTS
Recovery from lip filler is quick and straightforward, with most patients resuming normal activities the same day:
First 24-48 Hours: Mild swelling or bruising is normal and can be managed with cold compresses. Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive heat.
1 Week: Swelling subsides, and the final shape of your lips becomes apparent.
Maintenance: Results typically last 6-12 months, depending on the filler used and your body’s metabolism. Touch-ups are recommended to maintain your enhanced look.
Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure the best possible results.
RECOVERY
Lip filler is a quick and minimally invasive procedure performed in our Manhattan office. The session typically takes 15-30 minutes.
Here’s what to expect during the process:
Before Treatment: Your provider will assess your lips, discuss your desired outcome, and mark the injection sites. A topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort.
During Treatment: The filler is injected using a fine needle or cannula, with precise placement to enhance volume and shape. You may feel slight pressure or pinching.
After Treatment: The area may be gently massaged to ensure even distribution, and you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions.
Results are visible immediately, with minimal downtime.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Preparing for lip filler ensures a comfortable experience and optimal results. Key steps include:
Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or supplements like vitamin E for at least 48 hours before treatment to reduce bruising.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to promote healthy skin.
Clean Skin: Arrive with clean, makeup-free lips and avoid applying lip products prior to your appointment.
Our team will guide you through the process and answer any questions during your consultation.
PLANNING
Lip filler may not be suitable for individuals who:
Have active skin infections, inflammation, or cold sores near the lips.
Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Have a history of severe allergic reactions to dermal fillers.
Expect permanent results (lip fillers typically last 6-12 months).
During your consultation, Dr. Schwarcz or Nurse Heather Rypien will assess your goals and determine if lip filler is the right treatment for you.
NOT CANDIDATES
You may be an excellent candidate for lip filler if you:
Want to enhance the volume, shape, or symmetry of your lips.
Have naturally thin lips or lips that have lost volume over time.
Are looking for a non-surgical treatment with instant results.
Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations.
Lip filler is suitable for individuals of all ages seeking to achieve naturally fuller lips.
CANDIDATES
Lip filler is a minimally invasive treatment that uses hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers to improve the appearance of the lips. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that hydrates and plumps the skin, making it an ideal choice for creating fuller, smoother lips.
Lip filler can address:
Thin or uneven lips
Lack of definition or shape
Loss of volume due to aging
Fine lines around the lips (smoker’s lines)
This treatment can be customized to achieve a range of results, from subtle enhancement to a more dramatic pout.
