Lip filler is an injectable treatment designed to add volume, shape, and definition to the lips using hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that enhances hydration and fullness. At Elizabeth MD, we use the RHA Collection of fillers, specially formulated to adapt to the natural movement of the lips, creating soft, natural-looking plumpness. Lip fillers offer options to address various goals, from creating a more defined lip line to balancing asymmetrical lips or simply adding a subtle boost in volume. This versatile treatment helps achieve beautifully balanced, refreshed lips, enhancing natural beauty without the commitment of implants.
Dr. Elizabeth offers lip implants and surgical lip lift procedure for patients seeking more permanent results.
Lip Implants
Lip implants are surgical procedures in which Dr. Elizabeth makes tiny incisions in each corner of your mouth to insert an appropriately sized FDA-approved implant into your lips. Though this procedure does have a longer recovery time, it can provide more noticeable and realistic results that last far longer than any injectable.
Lip Lifts
A lip lift is another surgical procedure designed to help reposition the lips for a more youthful appearance. Dr. Elizabeth will remove the excess skin from between your nose and upper lip or from the corners of your mouth to give the lips a more lifted appearance. This surgery is often paired with lip implants, fat transfers, or lip fillers to complete the look, so recovery time will vary depending on the scope of the procedure.
The lip filler procedure is a quick and minimally invasive treatment that delivers instant results.
Dr. Elizabeth or a member of her skilled team will first apply a topical numbing cream to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. Using a fine needle, small amounts of hyaluronic acid filler are carefully injected into specific areas of the lips, such as the upper lip, lower lip, or lip line, depending on the desired result. Each injection is strategically placed to enhance the natural contours and shape of the lips. The entire process takes about 30-45 minutes, and patients can typically return to their regular routine immediately afterward.
Lip fillers can enhance the appearance of the lips in a variety of ways, making them an ideal choice for:
Lip fillers add soft, natural-looking volume for a plumper, more youthful smile. They provide noticeable improvement right after treatment, enhancing lip shape, contour, and fullness. With results lasting up to 12 months, lip fillers are a low-maintenance option for beautiful lips. We tailor the treatment to your unique facial features and aesthetic goals, from subtle enhancements to more defined volume. A quick and easy treatment with little recovery time, the lip fillers are ideal for a busy lifestyle.
Recovery after lip filler injections is minimal, allowing you to enjoy your results almost immediately. Some patients experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness around the lip region, which typically subsides within 1-2 days. Avoid intense physical activity, limit sun exposure, and keep the lips hydrated with a gentle lip balm to support optimal healing. Dr. Elizabeth and her team provide complete aftercare guidance, ensuring you achieve the best possible results from your lip filler treatment.
Patients notice a difference in lip volume and shape immediately following the procedure, with optimal results developing over the next few days as the filler settles. The RHA line of hyaluronic acid fillers provides long-lasting results, maintaining lip volume, contour, and definition for up to 12 months. Regular maintenance treatments let you keep your lips looking beautifully plump and youthful year-round.
