Lip Fillers

Like any cosmetic procedure, lip augmentation with fillers carries some risks and side effects. Minor swelling typically occurs immediately after the procedure and may persist for a few days to weeks. Bruising and discoloration around the injection sites are common but temporary, usually fading within a week. Infection, though rare, is possible, and any signs such as increased pain or redness should be reported to our office promptly. To minimize this risk, Dr. Panossian takes all necessary precautions to ensure a sterile environment during your procedure. If you notice any signs of infection, such as increased pain, redness, or pus, be sure to get in touch with our office immediately. Allergic reactions to lip fillers are also rare but require immediate medical attention. If you experience difficulty breathing, hives, swelling of the face or tongue, or extreme swelling of the lips, we advise you to seek immediate medical attention.

The cost of lip augmentation with filler varies based on factors such as the type and amount of filler required and anesthesia needs. During your consultation, Dr. Panossian will provide a detailed breakdown of the procedure cost, along with financing options and personalized recommendations for achieving your desired results.

The duration of lip enhancement with fillers varies depending on the type of filler used and individual metabolism. Typically, hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane last up to one year, while collagen stimulators such as Radiesse may last up to eighteen months.

Hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Juvéderm and Restylane are the most commonly used fillers for lip augmentation. These fillers offer a smooth, natural enhancement that can be reversed if necessary.

Lip augmentation with fillers is generally well-tolerated. Dr. Panossian ensures patient comfort by using a topical numbing cream or local anesthesia during the procedure. While some patients may experience mild discomfort during the injections, it is typically short-lived.
