Lip Injections in
Gilbert, Arizona

Lip fillers are a non-surgical, noninvasive cosmetic treatment to enhance and rejuvenate a patient's lips by making them fuller, plumper, and smoother. The procedure involves the use of injectable lip fillers to restore and renew definition, volume, and shape by filling in fine lines and wrinkles that present as part of the natural aging process. Lip fillers are made of a natural sugar-like protein commonly found in the human body called hyaluronic acid (HA). Hyaluronic acid is ideal because it’s considered a temporary filler and can be reversed. Hyaluronic acid works by hydrating, plumping the skin, and helping the body retain water. It also provides structural support to soft tissue and skin. These inherent benefits provide immediate visible improvements to the lips by reducing deflated, saggy, or lax skin appearance. Lip fillers are a no-downtime treatment, offering patients quick procedure times with natural-looking results that correct asymmetry and enhance shape and volume. Ideal candidates for lip augmentation, or lip fillers, are individuals who have lost confidence due to the appearance of their lips, struggle with naturally thin or flat lips, want to redefine their lip borders, reduce the appearance of fine lines around the mouth, or have lost volume in their lips due to the natural aging process.

Lip fillers help patients achieve a more youthful, radiant appearance by improving shape, symmetry, and volume. When determining the best filler for lip enhancement, hyaluronic acid (HA) is considered the premium choice. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar protein organically produced by the human body and offers patients a natural look that can be reversed or dissolved immediately if needed. HA fillers have an extremely low risk of allergic reactions. Therefore, HA fillers provide patients with two critical components not found in other lip filler options: safety and control. Numerous lip enhancement products, including both Juvéderm and Restylane brands, contain hyaluronic fillers. The best filler for lip enhancement is a uniquely personal decision based on several different criteria. It is determined during the consultation with a board-certified and licensed physician or master injector. At DrSkin Med Spa, we encourage patients to share photographic examples of their dream lips with our doctors and medical team so we can help determine the best lip filler options for your treatment.

No, lip augmentation is not permanent and is a completely reversible procedure. Lip filler can be immediately dissolved or removed at the patient's discretion. When patients are not happy with their lip filler results or experience an acute allergic reaction, a board-certified, licensed physician or master injector can inject an enzyme called hyaluronidase to dissolve your lip filler. Additionally, most patients prefer lip fillers containing hyaluronic acid (HA) because they are temporary and have a low risk of complications or side effects. This provides patients with more safety and control.

Lip filler commonly lasts from 6 months to 5 years, depending on the filler and amount used. Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, like Juvéderm and Restylane, are not permanent and considered a temporary filler option as they dissolve over time as your body metabolizes the filler product. Both brand names deliver amazing results that last an average of 9 months to 1 year. Patients seeking longer duration, fewer touch-ups, and less maintenance may opt for fat grafting. Fat grafting, or fat transfer, is an all-natural approach to restoring luscious and luxurious lips, adding volume, shape, and symmetry while providing longer-lasting results for up to 5 years.

Achieving natural-looking lips with lip augmentation, or lip fillers, is a delicate and intricate process that relies on several fundamental elements. Generally speaking, however, maintaining a 1:1 ratio between the outer corners of the top and bottom lip and a 2:1 ratio between the middle and outer corners of the lip will ensure the most desirable and flattering improvement while preserving facial balance and a natural appearance. Other vitally important factors include the education, training, and skill set of your injector, their lip injection technique, approach to your treatment, and filler placement and volume. At DrSkin Med Spa, our team of physicians are master injectors with over 10 years of training and experience. Each lip augmentation procedure is customized to the patient's unique facial aesthetics and lip shape. During treatment, our doctors focus on contouring and reshaping a patient's lips to match their facial structure and desired goals. Patients concerned with natural-looking results are well regarded, so our practitioners approach treatment with an emphasis on subtle and refined enhancements.

Yes, absolutely! In fact, this is a common practice as the dual procedure of lip filler with a lip flip can create a perfectly proportionate and symmetrical balance between volume and definition, depending on facial structure and lip shape. A lip flip can also decrease the risk of lip filler migration as it helps reduce displacement, thereby preventing filler products from forming undesirable lumps and bumps in unwanted areas.

It’s vitally important to avoid touching, scratching, kissing, and unwanted pressure on your lips after undergoing a lip filler procedure. Do not stretch or purse your lips, use drinking straws, or eat hot, salty, spicy, and hard-to-chew foods. Avoid extreme heat and strenuous exercise for at least 24 to 48 hours. We encourage patients to take arnica pills 1 to 2 weeks in advance and after treatment to minimize any swelling, inflammation, and bruising. We also provide ice packs following treatment to maintain patient comfort.

Do not contract or pucker your lips, use drinking straws, or eat hot, salty, spicy, crunchy, or chunky foods immediately after lip augmentation, as all of these things can impact the quality and results of treatment. Lip filler is unstable after injection and requires 1 to 2 weeks to stabilize. Patients are encouraged to wait until the numbing agent has completely worn off before eating after lip augmentation or lip fillers to avoid any unintentional mishaps while eating or drinking. Otherwise, food consumption has no restrictions after lip augmentation or lip injections.

The lips are considered one of the human body's most tender, sensitive, and delicate parts. As a result, lip injections can cause slight to mild discomfort during treatment. Lip fillers are a non-surgical, noninvasive procedure requiring no cutting or stitching, so any discomfort is localized to the injection site only during treatment. To minimize pain and uneasiness, there are a variety of numbing agents available to make the procedure virtually, if not totally, pain-free. At DrSkin Med Spa, we employ the latest technologies and strongest available numbing agents to ensure a comfortable patient experience. This includes topical numbing agents, injectable lidocaine, dental block, and Pro-Nox™. One or more of these options will reduce if not completely eliminate, any uncomfortable sensations during treatment. Most patients report a dull tingling sensation as the filler is injected.

Most aesthetic-enhancing procedures are off-limits during pregnancy. While there is no direct evidence indicating lip fillers are unsafe for pregnant women, there is also no viable evidence supporting they are. Lip fillers have not been tested or verified for safety on pregnant patients. With no clinical studies or physical evidence to support safety within this important patient population, it is ill-advised that the patient should proceed with treatment. At DrSkin Med Spa, we do not treat pregnant patients with lip fillers. We understand, however, that pregnant women may still be interested in beautifying treatments but exercise extreme caution when providing any procedure during pregnancy. We encourage safer alternatives like dermaplane and medical-grade facials.
