Lip Filler
Many of our patients have a desire to change the natural size or shape of their lips. Fortunately, there are several safe, non-invasive, non-surgical methods to create thicker, fuller, more attractive lips including lip filler and a Lip Flip. Through the use of dermal fillers we can enhance your own lips to provide you with a more balanced, plump and natural pout. You can trust our board-certified dermatologists to help you achieve the look you desire safely, using only proven, effective treatments.

Goals for Lip Filler Treatment
Patients have different goals in mind when visiting our physicians for lip fillers. These goals commonly vary by age, ethnicity, and gender. For example, younger patients are usually focused on adding volume to their lips or improving lip asymmetry while an older person may want to correct the thinning of the lips and perioral lines seen with the aging process. During your initial consultation, our board-certified dermatologists will evaluate your lips and perioral area and have a discussion with you regarding your goals for lip filler treatment. Here are some common goals for this treatment:
Increase in lip definition
Increase in lip volume
Correction of lip asymmetry
Reduction of lip lines
Correction of mouth corners
Your Lip Augmentation Options
The good news is that you have plenty of dermal filler options if you are seeking a safe, non-surgical, non-invasive option for lip augmentation. At ICON Dermatology & Aesthetics, it is our goal to help you meet all of your aesthetic needs at our office. We offer all the latest and most advanced dermal fillers, so that we can provide you with a range of options to ensure you can achieve the appearance you want.
If you need lip augmentation, here are some of your dermal filler solutions:
· Restylane Kysse
· Restylane-L
· Restylane Silk
· RHA
· Juvederm
Each of these fillers is unique and offers different advantages depending on your personal lip goals. For instance, Restylane Silk is wonderful for achieving very natural, subtle enhancement, while Restylane Kysse may be better if you are looking to add more significant volume to your lips. RHA-2 is a great option for correcting perioral lines.
Our board-certified dermatologists only use fillers that have been proven safe for lip injections. In certain cases, our physicians may treat the lips using a cannula to minimize swelling and bruising, allowing for an easier recovery.
Recovery After Lip Injections
The lips are a sensitive area of the face, and while our physicians use advanced injection techniques to minimize bruising and swelling, you may still experience these side effects. Do not be alarmed if your lips appear bigger than you wanted at first - this is just the swelling, and it will subside within a week or two. Applying ice after injections can help to reduce swelling and bruising.
If you do experience some minor bruising, we recommend the use of OcuMend Hydrogel Pads which you can purchase in-office or from our online store. You can also cover bruising by applying makeup. Because of the possibility of bruising and swelling, we do not recommend having lip injections immediately before a big event. Give yourself time for healing to make sure you look your absolute best.
