Curious about lip fillers? Here’s what you can expect during your first appointment. Before the procedure begins, you’ll have a consultation with a trained healthcare professional to discuss your goals, concerns, and expectations. During this consultation, the provider will assess your lips and facial anatomy to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for achieving your desired results.
Once the treatment plan is established, the lip filler procedure itself is relatively quick and minimally invasive. The provider will carefully inject the filler into targeted areas of the lips using a fine needle or cannula. Depending on your preferences and the desired outcome, the filler may be injected to enhance lip volume, define lip borders, or correct asymmetry. While some discomfort or mild swelling may occur during and after the procedure, these side effects are typically temporary and subside within a few days. You may also experience minor bruising at the injection sites, which can be concealed with makeup if desired.
Results from lip filler injections are immediate, with lips appearing fuller and more defined shortly after treatment. Over the following days and weeks, you’ll notice further enhancement as any swelling resolves and the filler settles into place. Depending on the type of filler used and individual factors, results can last anywhere from six months to a year or more. With proper care and maintenance, including regular touch-up treatments as needed, lip fillers can help you achieve natural-looking, beautiful lips that enhance your overall appearance and boost your confidence.
