Lip filler is a minimally invasive procedure that works to enhance the volume, shape, and symmetry of the lips. At Azar Plastic Surgery, we primarily use hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Juvéderm Ultra, which are FDA-approved injectable dermal fillers that restore lost volume while maintaining a natural, youthful appearance.
An experienced healthcare provider carefully injects the gel-like substance into precise areas of the upper lip, lower lip, or surrounding tissues (including the oral commissures and nasolabial folds, depending on your goals). Hyaluronic acid binds water naturally, adding subtle fullness while allowing lips to retain movement and expression.
Advanced techniques also allow for correction of asymmetry, enhancement of Cupid’s bow, and even the lip flip, which slightly rolls the upper lip outward for a fuller appearance without adding volume. Your provider carefully maps injection sites, considering vascular anatomy to reduce risk of complications.
Lip filler is not just for volume—it can be a key part of facial rejuvenation, helping restore balance to areas affected by aging, genetics, or previous volume loss. It can also complement other procedures, such as dermal fillers for under-eye hollows or Botox for dynamic lines, creating a harmonious, refreshed appearance.
Patients choose lip filler treatments for a variety of reasons. Some enjoy subtle enhancements, while others are seeking a dramatic improvement in symmetry and volume. Benefits of receiving lip fillers at Azar Plastic Surgery include:
Because it’s minimally invasive, patients can enjoy the results without the risks or recovery associated with surgery, and most patients find that swelling and bruising are temporary and mild.
Lip filler treatments are ideal for individuals seeking fuller lips, improved symmetry, or facial rejuvenation without surgery. Many patients choose this treatment to address genetically thin lips, volume loss due to aging, or uneven lip shape. It can also be beneficial for patients looking to enhance their Cupid’s bow, smooth fine lines around the mouth, or balance their facial proportions.
Most patients in good general health can safely undergo lip filler injections, but there are a few exceptions. Patients with allergies to hyaluronic acid, active skin infections, or certain vascular conditions may not be candidates. During your consultation, Dr. Azar and his team will review your medical history, evaluate your lip anatomy, and create a personalized treatment plan to ensure safe and effective results.
Your lip filler experience will begin with a consultation at Azar Plastic Surgery. During this visit, your provider will review your medical history, any previous filler treatments, and current medications. We will assess your lip anatomy and discuss your desired results, ensuring your goals are realistic and achievable.
Preparation for your treatment is straightforward. Patients are advised to avoid blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, and alcohol for a short time before getting injections to minimize bruising and swelling. Some may also choose to apply a topical numbing agent for added comfort. This initial consultation guarantees that each treatment session is tailored to your individual needs and aesthetic desires and not someone else’s, with a focus on both safety and satisfaction.
Lip filler injections are performed in-office under local anesthetic or topical numbing to maximize comfort. The procedure typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas treated and the amount of filler used.
An expert injector uses a fine needle or cannula to place the FDA-approved hyaluronic acid filler in precise locations of the upper and lower lips, oral commissures, or nasolabial folds. The filler is carefully massaged into place to get even volume and symmetry, creating a natural look that complements your facial features.
Most patients report minimal discomfort, and the treatment can be combined with other non-surgical procedures for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan.
Lip filler results are visible immediately, with optimal results appearing within two weeks as any swelling or minor bruising subsides. Most patients experience temporary swelling, tenderness, or minor bruising, which typically resolves within a few days.
Post-treatment care is simple. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, or alcohol for 24 to 48 hours and to ice the lips as needed to reduce swelling. Follow-up appointments may be scheduled for adjustments or touch-ups to ensure even, natural results.
With proper care, results typically last 6 to 12 months, depending on factors such as filler type, metabolism, and lifestyle. Regular touch-ups help maintain fullness, shape, and symmetry, allowing patients to enjoy long-lasting, youthful results without surgery.
The cost of lip filler treatments at Azar Plastic Surgery varies depending on the type and amount of filler, the complexity of your treatment plan, and any combination with other procedures. Pricing generally includes the filler material, expert injector fees, in-office treatment, and follow-up care.
During your consultation, Dr. Azar will provide a personalized quote, taking into account your aesthetic goals, desired results, and any additional enhancements.
