What are some things you should know before getting this aesthetic procedure? Read on to find out. At The Studio Med Spa, our team of providers is happy to give patients the gift of natural-looking enhanced pouts!

What are Lip Fillers? 

Lip filler procedures have steadily climbed in numbers throughout the years. Since the year 2000 to 2024, it is estimated the number of these procedures have risen by about 60%. Social media, trends, and the emergence of new innovations have influenced a lot of people to look into lip fillers. This minimally invasive procedure involves injecting chosen filler material (typically hyaluronic acid) into the lips. The results are natural enhanced lips with better shape and more volume. 

What Should I Know About Lip Fillers? 

Are you considering lip fillers, but need a little more information before you jump into the treatment? Interested in learning more about the aesthetic procedure, as well as maybe any tips for care before and after? There are a few things people should know are they prepare for a lip filler appointment or consider the procedure. Here’s what you should know about lip enhancement procedures: 

Pre-Treatment Care is Important

Before getting lip fillers, your provider may give you a list of tips to prepare. Make sure to follow these tips, as they can make a difference when it comes to the recovery and durability of the fillers. Usually, patients are recommended to avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin and ibuprofen, as well as avoid alcohol and smoking. You may also want to let the practitioner know if you are taking any vitamins or supplements, as some of these may have blood-thinning properties as well. 

Quick and Minimally Invasive

The lip filler procedure is very quick. Usually, this procedure can take anywhere between 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the preparation. A numbing topical agent is applied to the area of the lips where the filler is injected using very fine needles. There is minimal downtime required, and patients who get this procedure done are in and out of the office that same day. Lip fillers are a great non-surgical option to enhance the lips and restore some fullness to an area of the face. 

Lips May Bruise

If you are interested in this procedure, you may wonder, are there any harmful side effects? The side effects to a lip enhancement procedure are minimal, however, it can be quite common for lips to bruise and swell after this procedure. This is because there are delicate blood vessels in the lips that may be affected during the injection process. However, swelling and bruising will go down within a few days to a week, and pressing ice packs to the area can help!

Post-Treatment Care is Vital 

Just like pre-treatment care, the post procedure tips you hear about are important to follow. After a lip filler treatment, you will want to avoid applying makeup or doing harsh skincare for a few days. You’ll want to avoid touching your lips in general, and skip any strenuous activities that could cause the lip filler to move for any reason. A follow-up visit to view the results and discuss any questions or concerns will be recommended and should also be done!

Lip Filler is not Forever

It is important to remember that lip filler results will not last forever. The results of this procedure appear quickly, and can last for about a year. If you are interested in more lip filler treatments, consult with your provider to learn more about the timeline of what getting lip filler treatments looks like. Lip filler can enhance natural texture and color while still allowing for flexible movement, so it is no surprise that many patients are interested in getting another round of treatment done.
