What to expect

Explore what to expect before, during, and after your treatment, including anticipated results and recommended treatment frequency—so you can feel confident, prepared, and excited for your transformation.

Before Your Treatment

Avoid Blood Thinners
Refrain from taking blood-thinning medications or supplements (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E) for 5-7 days before treatment to minimize bruising.

Limit Alcohol and Smoking
Avoid alcohol and smoking for 24-48 hours prior to your appointment to reduce swelling and promote better healing.

Hydrate
Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your treatment to help keep your skin and lips hydrated.

Discuss Medical History
Inform your provider of any medical conditions, allergies, or medications during your consultation.

Plan Ahead
Schedule your treatment at least a week before important events, as mild swelling or bruising may occur.

During Your Treatment

Consultation
Your provider will assess your lips, discuss your goals, and create a customized treatment plan.

Preparation
The lips and surrounding area will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to enhance comfort.

Injection Process
Using a fine needle or cannula, the filler will be carefully injected into specific areas of the lips to add volume, improve symmetry, and define the lip borders. The process typically takes 15-30 minutes.

Minimal Discomfort
Most patients report only mild discomfort due to the numbing agent in the filler and topical anesthetic.

After Your Treatment

Avoid Touching or Massaging the Lips
Do not touch, rub, or apply pressure to the treated area for at least 24 hours.

Stay Upright
Avoid lying flat for 4-6 hours post-treatment to allow the filler to settle properly.

Limit Heat and Exercise
Refrain from saunas, hot tubs, and strenuous activities for 48 hours to reduce swelling.

Skip Alcohol and Smoking
Avoid alcohol and smoking for 24-48 hours to promote healing.

Apply Ice Packs
Use a cold compress or ice pack wrapped in a cloth to minimize swelling and bruising.

Use Gentle Skincare
Avoid exfoliants or harsh skincare products around the lips for 3-5 days.

Expected Results

Immediate Improvements
You’ll notice fuller, more defined lips immediately after the treatment.

Settling Period
Swelling may occur and typically subsides within 48-72 hours. The final results are visible after about 7-14 days once the filler fully integrates with the tissue.

Long-Lasting Outcomes
Results typically last 6-12 months, depending on the filler used and individual metabolism.

Treatment Frequency

To maintain results, follow-up treatments are recommended every 6-12 months. Your provider will tailor a treatment plan based on your goals and the longevity of your filler.

What are lip fillers made of, and are they safe?

Will my lips look natural after fillers?

Yes, your provider will customize the treatment to your desired aesthetic, whether you want a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic look. Modern fillers are designed to integrate naturally with your tissue for soft, balanced results.

Is there downtime after lip filler treatments?

Lip fillers require minimal downtime. You may experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness for 1-2 days, but most patients can resume normal activities immediately after treatment.

How long do lip fillers last?

Lip fillers typically last between 6-12 months, depending on the type of filler used and your body’s metabolism. Regular maintenance treatments can help sustain your desired look.
