Lip Filler
Full, youthful lips are a hallmark of facial harmony, and lip filler treatments are among the most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedures today. At Berman Plastic Surgery and Spa, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jonathan Berman offers expertly performed lip injections to enhance shape, restore volume, and improve overall facial balance. Unlike treatments performed by nurse injectors who may lack surgical-level training, Dr. Berman combines his deep understanding of facial anatomy, years of experience with facial fillers, and precise injection techniques to achieve natural-looking results that complement each patient’s unique features.
What is Lip Filler?
Lip filler is a non-surgical cosmetic injectable treatment that temporarily adds volume to the lips using hyaluronic acid fillers, a naturally occurring substance in the body. These injectable gels can improve lip shape, smooth lines around the mouth, and provide better balance with surrounding facial tissue. Depending on the patient’s needs, treatment areas can include the upper lip, smile lines, and even areas of the jawline or cheeks for more harmonious facial contours.
What are the Benefits of Lip Filler?
Patients choose lip filler for a variety of reasons, including:
- Plump lips with restored volume for a youthful look
- Correction of asymmetry or uneven lip shape
- Smoothing severe facial wrinkles, smile lines, and facial folds around the mouth
- Non-surgical lip augmentation with minimal downtime
- Gradual improvement in facial harmony when combined with cheek augmentation, nasolabial fold correction, or undereye hollow treatments
Lip filler treatments are customized to meet your aesthetic goals while maintaining a natural appearance, ensuring subtle enhancements rather than an overfilled look.
Lip Filler vs Lip Lift
While dermal filler temporarily adds volume and improves lip shape, a lip lift is a surgical procedure that shortens the distance between the nose and the upper lip for a more permanent lift. Lip filler is a minimally invasive option, offering immediate results and less recovery time, while a lip lift is more invasive and involves longer downtime. Dr. Berman carefully evaluates each patient to recommend the most effective approach to meet their aesthetic goals.
The Lip Filler Process
During your consultation, Dr. Berman carefully evaluates your facial tissue, existing lip shape, and surrounding facial folds to create a customized treatment plan tailored to your features and aesthetic goals. To ensure comfort, he applies topical numbing cream or local anesthetic before precisely administering lip injections at designated injection sites, enhancing the upper and lower lips, correcting asymmetry, and improving balance with the rest of the face.
He uses only the most advanced hyaluronic acid fillers, including Juvéderm for restoring volume and smoothing smile lines, Restylane treatments for natural-looking lip enhancement and targeted lip shaping. Supported by clinical studies, these lip injection products offer predictable, safe results and allow Dr. Berman to achieve subtle, natural enhancements while minimizing the risk of adverse events.
Lip Filler Recovery & Results
Recovery is generally quick, with temporary redness, tenderness, mild swelling, or bruising at injection sites. Most patients return to normal activities immediately. Results are visible immediately, with final outcomes refined as the hyaluronic acid integrates with facial tissue. Effects typically last 6–12 months, depending on the product and individual metabolism.
Who is a Candidate for Lip Filler?
Ideal candidates are adults seeking:
- Lip augmentation or enhancement of lip shape
- Smoothing smile lines or facial folds
- Restoration of volume lost due to aging
- Safe, non-surgical options with temporary results
Patients should disclose severe allergies, blood thinners, or herbal supplements to ensure safety.
