The entire process takes about 60 minutes, and you can see the results almost immediately.
Lip fillers can address several common concerns, including:
Lip Filler Recovery
Lip filler recovery is typically quick and easy. Mild swelling, bruising, and swelling are typically seen the first 1-2 weeks post lip augmentation, with the first 24- 48 hours being the most noticeable. To ensure optimal results, avoid touching or massaging your lips, apply ice packs if needed, and stay hydrated. For 24 hours after the procedure, you'll need to avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol consumption, and exposure to excessive heat or sunlight. Make sure to follow all of your injector's aftercare instructions to achieve the best results.
Lip Filler Results
Once tissue integration has occurred, fully settled and healed results are seen at the 4-week mark. This is when we offer a follow-up to ensure the perfect result. The results last between 6 and 12 months, depending on the type of filler used and your body's metabolism. We will work with you to plan follow-up treatments at optimal intervals to maintain your results for a look you love every single day!
