Lip Augmentation
If you find yourself wishing your lips were plumper, lip fillers might be the answer. At Aesthetica, we use a range of different fillers made with hyaluronic acid – a substance that occurs naturally in your body. The gel-like composition of lip fillers results in fuller and plumped lips that leave patients feeling more confident and comfortable in their own skin.
Our Approach
Since lips lose volume and shape as they age, lip fillers help you hydrate your lips to restore volume and recapture their former glory. Since everyone’s lips are different, we take a highly customized approach to each lip filler treatment. We go to great lengths to understand your specific aesthetic needs before deciding which lip filler is best for you. Before the treatment, the area will be numbed for 20 -30 minutes to reduce any pain or discomfort. While afterward you may experience some swelling and redness, the treatment is otherwise painless. The benefits of the treatment typically last between eight and 12 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who should get lip fillers?
Lip fillers are perfect for anyone eager to restore their lips to their former full, plump appearance. While side effects are few and most people tolerate lip fillers very well, patients with a history of cold sores or other oral infections will be prescribed medications before treatment.
What can I expect from the procedure?
Since swelling is a common side effect of lip fillers, it’s usually advised to space your treatment sessions out so the mouth can heal properly. It’s best to avoid taking blood thinners like alcohol, aspirin, and ibuprofen for at least three days before the procedure, as they can lead to bruising and swelling.
How long do lip filler results last?
The results usually last from six to 12 months.
