What is Involved in a Lip Injection Treatment?

Lip injections are a non-surgical, minimally invasive lip augmentation treatment. They involve the use of dermal filler and injectables, which can add volume to the lips to enhance their shape and size.

Many patients choose to have lip injections to reverse age-related volume loss in the lips. These patients also often enjoy a reduction in fine lines around the mouth. Other patients choose to have lip injections simply to enhance the lips and their overall appearance. At Renaissance Center for Plastic Surgery & Wellness, we may recommend one of the following products for your lip injection treatment:

Juvéderm^{^®}
Restylane^{^®}

Am I A Good Candidate for Lip Injections?

If you are looking for a way to enhance the appearance of the lips without surgery, you may be a good candidate for lip injections. At the Renaissance Center for Plastic Surgery & Wellness, we are proud to offer financing for the lip injection treatment to make it a more affordable option for those who desire it.

How Do Lip Injection Treatment Work?

The lip injection treatment is performed with the aid of a topical anesthetic, which numbs the skin to minimize any discomfort that may occur during the injection process. During treatment, the dermal filler formula will be injected into and around the lips. We may lightly massage the area to ensure that the product is evenly distributed and produces natural-looking results. This process only takes a few minutes, so the entire lip injection treatment is typically performed in less than 30 minutes.

What Can I Expect During Recovery Following Lip Injections?

Lip injections, like most dermal filler and injectable treatments, require no downtime or recovery period. You may experience minor swelling, redness or sensitivity around the lips, but these symptoms usually fade within a day or two. You will be able to return to work and all other activities immediately following your appointment.

What Results Can I Expect from Lip Injections?

The results from your lip injections will be visible instantly as the formula plumps the lips and smooths out fine lines around the mouth. These results typically last for about a year, but the exact duration will depend on a variety of factors. Additional treatments can be easily administered to extend the duration of your results.
