Lip enhancement uses soft hyaluronic acid fillers to add volume, sharpen the border of the lips, correct asymmetry or simply improve hydration. Results range from a barely-there refresh to a fuller pout, and the best outcomes respect the natural proportions of your face.

Because lips change with age — thinning and losing definition — lip filler is popular with patients in their 20s who want more shape and with patients in their 40s and beyond who want to restore what time has taken.

How the treatment works

After numbing, your provider places small amounts of filler along the lip border and body using a fine needle or cannula. Most appointments take about 30 minutes, and you will see the shape immediately.

What Lip Enhancement can help with

  • Thin lips

  • Uneven or asymmetrical lips

  • Undefined lip border

  • Vertical lip lines

  • Dry-looking lips

  • Balancing lips with the chin and nose

Before and after your appointment

  1. Lips swell more than other areas — they will look fullest on days one and two.
  2. Avoid kissing, straws and very hot drinks for the first day.
  3. If you are prone to cold sores, ask your provider about preventive medication.
  4. Starting with half or one syringe is a good way to see how you like the result.

Lip Enhancement: frequently asked questions

Not with a conservative plan. Experienced injectors work with your natural shape and can build gradually over two visits.

Usually six to twelve months. Lips are very mobile, so filler breaks down a little faster there than in the cheeks.

Topical numbing and lidocaine in the filler make it very tolerable for most patients.

A lip flip uses a few units of Botox to relax the upper lip so more of it shows. It adds the look of fullness without volume and lasts about two to three months.
