Get answers to common questions about Lip Fillers.

Results usually last six to twelve months depending on filler type, placement, and individual metabolism. Thicker formulas and deeper placement can extend longevity. We offer touch-up appointments to maintain volume and can recommend a personalized schedule during your consultation.

When performed by our experienced injector, fillers are placed to preserve natural movement and texture. We prioritize subtle enhancement and tailored volume. Mild swelling may temporarily alter feel, but results settle into a natural appearance within a week or two.

Discomfort is minimal; most clients report only mild pressure. We use topical anesthetic and many fillers contain lidocaine for added comfort. Numbing can be applied before and during the procedure to ensure a relaxed, nearly painless experience.

Common side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness that resolve within days to two weeks. Rare but serious risks like vascular occlusion exist; our protocol includes safety measures and immediate treatment if needed. We'll review contraindications during consultation.

Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E) for one week if medically safe. Avoid alcohol and intense exercise 24-48 hours prior. Arrive with clean lips and discuss medical history and expectations during consultation.

Yes—fillers complement treatments like Botox, chemical peels, and laser procedures. Timing matters: often Botox can be done same day, while certain procedures may require spacing. We'll create an integrated treatment plan to optimize outcomes and ensure safety.
