As with any aesthetic treatment, results vary from patient to patient.*
Lip filler is an effective non-invasive solution that improves the overall look of the lips by reducing fine lines and wrinkles and adding volume and definition. Lip filler is made from hyaluronic acid, a natural water-binding substance that is found in our bodies. Hyaluronic acid has a gooey, gel-like consistency. It attracts and retains moisture that helps create a plumper, firmer appearance in our skin. However, our hyaluronic acid production declines as we age, creating a loss in volume and hydration and an increase in fine lines and wrinkles.
When hyaluronic acid fillers, like Juvéderm or Restylane, are injected into the lips, they instantly work to attract water. As a result, this temporarily increases volume in the areas injected and provides a fuller, more hydrated appearance. A unique aspect of lip filler is that it can be injected gradually over several appointments until the desired results are achieved. Additionally, lip filler is not a permanent procedure. After treatment, your body metabolizes the filler over time. Therefore, treatment will need to be repeated to maintain the results. Furthermore, lip filler is a reversible treatment and can be removed using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. When injected into the lips, it works to safely break down the hyaluronic acid in the filler within a few hours.
Before your procedure, you will meet with your injector to discuss your treatment goals and medical history and discuss any questions or concerns you may have. Your injector will also examine your lips to determine the best treatment plan, including how much filler you will need and what type of filler they will use.
To minimize any discomfort, your injector will apply a topical numbing cream to your lips. Juvéderm and Restylane filler contain lidocaine, which further reduces pain during your treatment.
Once you are numb, your injector may use a pen to mark different areas on your lips to be injected. Then, injections will begin using a fine needle or cannula. Multiple injections will be administered throughout your treatment to achieve the desired effect. Additionally, your injector may manually massage and sculpt your lips to help the filler distribute evenly. You may experience sensations like a pin prick or a slight burn as the needle is inserted into your lips. However, most patients report minimal to no pain or discomfort during lip augmentation. On average, the entire procedure takes 15 to 30 minutes.
Following the procedure, you may experience some swelling or bruising that can last up to one week. Aftercare instructions will be provided to you so you can best care for your lips and maximize the benefits of your treatment. Aftercare may include using an ice pack to reduce bruising and swelling, avoiding kissing, sucking from a straw, eating spicy foods, and taking pain medication as needed. It is important to follow the aftercare protocol to ensure optimal results.

Additionally, more than 80% of patients were still satisfied with their treatment results by the one-year mark. As with any aesthetic treatment, results and patient experience may vary. Therefore, having realistic expectations is important when considering aesthetic procedures such as lip filler injections.*

When comparing hyaluronic acid lip fillers, results generally last anywhere from 6-12 months. However, patients metabolize filler at different speeds, so the longevity of lip filler varies. Additionally, the brand of lip filler used and how much lip filler is used during treatment will also impact the longevity of lip filler.
On average, a touch-up every 6-12 months is recommended to maintain your results.
Avoid taking medication such as ibuprofen and aspirin one week before your lip filler procedure. Additionally, you should avoid supplements like vitamin E and fish oil, as these can increase bleeding and bruising. Additionally, do not drink any alcohol for at least 24 hours prior to your appointment to avoid increased bruising and swelling.
The cost of lip filler varies for each patient at The Medical Clinic NYC. Factors such as the amount of filler, the formula, the experience, and the expertise of the injector all contribute to the overall cost of lip filler injections. One syringe of Restylane or Juvéderm can range anywhere from $500 to $1000. At The Medical Clinic NYC, we create a unique treatment plan that’s customized to your specific cosmetic goals and budget.
Russian doll lips are a technique inspired by the lips of Russian dolls. This technique focuses on creating height and plumpness in the center of the lips. Additionally, Russian doll lips are defined by certain characteristics. These include having a defined cupid’s bow, having lots of height, and being heart-shaped with most of the volume concentrated in the center of the lip.
There are a few differences to consider. On average, both brands last between 6 and 12. However, Juvéderm lip filler may last slightly longer than Restylane. Additionally, Restylane and Juvéderm offer different formulas that produce different results. For example, Restylane Kyssé and Juvéderm Ultra XC have a thicker consistency. As a result, they deliver more volume and produce more dramatic results.
Yes, however, seeking an experienced injector is key to achieving a natural-looking lip enhancement. Regarding filler, Restylane Silk and Juvéderm Volbella would be favorable options for those wanting more subtle-looking results. This is because they have a thinner gel consistency compared to other formulas.
