1. Lip fillers are made from hyaluronic acid
Most modern lip fillers use hyaluronic acid, which is naturally present in the body. It attracts water, so it helps lips look soft and hydrated. I use premium, clinically safe products that deliver smooth, natural results. Learn more about lip fillers.
2. Lip filler results are not permanent
Lip fillers typically last 6 to 12 months for most people. Your metabolism, lifestyle, and the product we select will influence longevity. We can refine your result over time with maintenance appointments.
3. It is about shape, not only size
My goal is a balanced, harmonious result that suits your features. I look at proportions, symmetry, and how your lips move when you speak and smile, so the outcome looks like you, only fresher.
4. Consider your chin first
Sometimes the most flattering lip enhancement starts with chin balance. If your chin is slightly recessed, adding volume to the lips alone can make them look like they protrude. I may suggest chin filler first to support the profile so the lips and lower face look beautifully proportioned.
5. Consultation comes first
In our consultation I will listen to your goals, assess your lip anatomy, and plan a treatment that fits your features. This is where we decide on technique, product choice, and amount for the most natural finish. Book a consultation.
6. The treatment is quick
The procedure usually takes 20 to 30 minutes. I apply numbing cream to keep you comfortable, and most people go back to normal activities the same day.
7. Expect some swelling
Mild swelling or bruising for a few days is common. Your lips settle over one to two weeks, which is when you will see the final result. I provide clear aftercare to help you recover smoothly.
8. Fillers can be dissolved
If you ever need to adjust your result, hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved with a prescription enzyme called hyaluronidase. Safety and reversibility are important benefits of HA fillers.
9. Aftercare matters
For the first 24 hours I advise avoiding intense exercise, alcohol, and heat. Gentle care helps reduce swelling and keeps your result looking its best. I will send you aftercare and check in on your progress.
10. Choose a qualified practitioner
