    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    HOW DO LIP FILLERS WORK?

    Lip fillers work by using injectable hyaluronic acid gel to enhance lip volume and definition. When injected, hyaluronic acid expands to approximately twice its original size and bonds with the lip tissue, offering an immediate boost in fullness and shape. 

    Depending on the type of filler and technique your lip size and definition will be augmented. 

    After a few days of swelling the lips will settle and the body will gradually absorb hyaluronic acid over 9-15 months. Maintaining the aesthetic outcome is straightforward with periodic touch-ups, ensuring your lips remain plump and defined.

    WHO SHOULD CONSIDER GETTING LIP FILLERS?

    Dr. Schwarzburg highlights that lip fillers are ideal for anyone looking to transform their appearance, serving as a non-surgical option for achieving fuller, more voluminous lips, including for those with naturally thin lips. 

    They are also perfect for correcting asymmetries, bringing balance and harmony to the face. Beyond aesthetic enhancement, lip fillers can rejuvenate lips by restoring volume and smoothing out wrinkles that come with aging or environmental factors. 

    Additionally, they allow for the precise accentuation of specific features like the Cupid’s bow and philtrum columns, further enhancing facial aesthetics and definition.

    WHAT ARE THE CONTRAINDICATIONS TO LIP FILLER INJECTIONS?

    When considering lip filler injections, it’s important to be aware of certain conditions and factors that may impact the safety and success of the procedure. 

    If you have allergies to the ingredients used in fillers, experience active cold sores or infections near the lips, or have autoimmune diseases, it’s crucial to discuss these with Dr. Schwarzburg, as they could increase the risk of complications. 

    Additionally, a history of severe scarring or keloid formation may affect the healing process. Consulting with Dr. Schwarzburg will help determine if lip fillers are a safe option for you.

    HOW TO PREPARE FOR LIP FILLERS AT SKINLY AESTHETICS?

    To ensure a smooth lip filler experience at Skinly Aesthetics keep in mind a few key steps. Schedule your appointment with enough lead time to recover before any major events, as this allows any swelling or bruising to settle. 

    To minimize bruising risks, avoid blood-thinners and certain supplements such as Gingko Biloba and Flax oil. If you’re prone to cold sores, notify Dr. Schwarzburg; a preemptive dose of Valtrex will prevent an outbreak. 

    Cut back on alcohol a couple of days before your session to decrease post-injection swelling. Lastly, bring along photos of the lip look you are aiming for to help visualize your goals during the consultation.

    WHAT IS THE LIP INJECTION PROCESS AT SKINLY AESTHETICS?

    The lip injection process at Skinly Aesthetics starts with a detailed consultation with Dr. Schwarzburg to outline your goals and review your health background. 

    Comfort is key, so Dr. Schwarzburg will prep your lips with numbing cream or optional lidocaine shot for a pain-free experience. He will then strategically inject hyaluronic acid filler that best suits your goals and anatomy to enhance the volume and shape of your lips. 

    The final step involves a gentle massage to ensure even distribution and the perfect contour. This streamlined approach ensures a comfortable experience and beautiful results.

    HOW LONG DOES LIP FILLER PROCEDURE TAKE?

    At Skinly Aesthetics, a lip filler session typically lasts 30-45 minutes. The duration depends on the number of syringes and the specific technique employed. Dr. Schwarzburg ensures a balance of efficiency and precision, respecting the busy schedules of his NYC patients.

    ARE LIP FILLERS SAFE?

    When administered properly, lip fillers preserve lip health and aesthetics. Dr. Schwarzburg’s expertise in NYC guarantees precise, safe lip filler treatments. To avoid complications, it’s vital to steer clear of unsupervised procedures and prioritize professional care.

    WHAT IS THE AFTERCARE AFTER LIP FILLER PROCEDURE?

    After your lip filler procedure with Dr. Schwarzburg, following a few simple aftercare steps can greatly enhance your comfort and the final appearance of your lips. 

    Start by applying an ice pack immediately and continue for the first 24 hours to reduce swelling. It’s best to avoid heavy exercise, hot environments like saunas, and any lip pressure activities (like kissing or using a straw) during the first day. 

    To help with any bruising, consider using aloe vera, vitamin K, or arnica cream. Hold off on applying lipstick or other makeup near the lips for at least 30 minutes to an hour to let the injection sites heal. If you experience discomfort, over-the-counter pain relievers can be effective. 

    Following these steps will support a smoother recovery and help achieve the best possible results.

    WHAT IS DOWNTIME AFTER LIP FILLER PROCEDURE?

    The downtime following a lip filler procedure is often minimal, despite misconceptions fueled by online content. Dr. Schwarzburg reassures patients that there is typically minor social and no medical downtime post-procedure. Many patients feel comfortable showcasing their enhanced lips shortly after leaving the clinic.

    WHAT ARE COMMON LIP FILLER RISKS AND SIDE EFFECTS?

    Dr. Schwarzburg explains common risks and side effects associated with lip injections. 

    Initial swelling within the first 1-3 days can make lips look larger and uneven, a normal part of the healing process. Bruising may also occur for 1-4 days due to the needle piercing of the small blood vessels. 

    Occasionally, the procedure might reactivate cold sores, which can be preemptively managed with Valtrex. Small lumps or nodules, if they appear, can usually be smoothed out with massage or, if necessary, treated with Hylenex. Asymmetry, often a result of uneven filler distribution or application technique, can also be corrected. In rare instances, filler migration may occur, leading to a “top shelf” appearance, but this too can be adjusted with hyaluronidase injection.

    DO LIP INJECTIONS HURT?

    Lip injections are uncomfortable without adequate numbing. Dr. Schwarzburg provides a strong compounded numbing cream to ensure a pain-free experience. For individuals highly sensitive to pain, Dr. Schwarzburg provides injectable lidocaine for enhanced numbness. Most hyaluronic acid lip fillers contain lidocaine, further enhancing comfort throughout the procedure.

    HOW SOON WILL I SEE THE RESULTS AFTER LIP INJECTIONS?

    Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers provide immediate lip enhancement. The initial fullness typically lasts for the first 3 days. After this, the swelling decreases, revealing your new beautiful pout within 3-7 days.

    HOW LONG DO LIP FILLERS LAST?

    Hyaluronic acid lip fillers typically last between 6 to 12 months. The duration of results is influenced by the type of filler, cross-linking, number of syringes, and individual metabolism. Dr. Schwarzburg recommends touch-up sessions every 9-12 months to maintain plump results and prevent lips from returning to their baseline.

    CAN I REVERSE LIP FILLERS IF I DON’T LIKE THE RESULTS?

    If you decide to return to your natural lips after a filler treatment, there’s a solution. Hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers can be fully dissolved using hyaluronidase – an enzyme that targets hyaluronic acid molecules. Your lip tissue is not affected at all by this dissolving process. With just a 1ml hyaluronidase injection, lips revert to their natural state within 24 hours.

    HOW MUCH FILLER IS TYPICALLY USED IN ONE SESSION?

    In a typical session, 1 syringe of filler, containing 1 mL of hyaluronic acid gel, is used for lip enhancement. The gel acts similar to a dry sponge soaking up surrounding liquid and increasing in size. This property allows for substantial lip volume enhancement with just one 1 mL syringe.

    WHAT IS THE COST OF LIP INJECTIONS?

    Lip filler injections typically cost between $600 and $1400 per 1ml syringe, with prices primarily determined by the level of your injector’s expertise. Opting for multiple syringes will naturally increase the overall cost. At Skinly Aesthetics, new clients can enjoy a 20% discount on their initial lip filler treatment, ensuring quality enhancement at a more accessible price point.

    WHAT IS THE BEST FILLER FOR LIP INJECTIONS?

    Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are favored for lip enhancements due to their biocompatibility and hydrophilic nature, resulting in natural lip augmentation. Dr. Schwarzburg explains that some dermal fillers provide greater firmness and projection, while others offer a softer consistency for a more natural appearance.Restylane Kysse and Juvederm Volbella are known for gentle enhancement and provide a subtle boost, ideal for those seeking modest augmentation. RHA fillers are preferred for techniques like the Russian Lip Technique, emphasizing an upward shaping of the lips while avoiding an overly projected look. Juvederm Voluma & Juvederm Ultra offer significant lift and volume for dramatic lip amplification.

    WHAT IS THE BEST LIP INJECTION TECHNIQUE?

    Dr. Schwarzburg, with his 10+ years of expertise in lip fillers, details popular methods to achieve optimal lip augmentation. Horizontal Injection technique targets the vermilion border and Cupid’s bow, sculpting a sharp, defined lip border ideal for thin lips or age-related volume reduction. Vertical injection technique targets superficial layers of the lip body, enhancing lips vertically and is known as the Russian Lip Filler Technique. Philtrum column placement revives the youthful V-shaped silhouette of the philtrum. 

    WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIP FLIP AND LIP FILLER?

    Dr. Schwarzburg notes both approaches result in lip enhancement and are frequently combined. Lip flip involves Botox injections above the upper lip, relaxing muscles to create a subtle upward flip with results lasting 1 to 2 months. Lip filler injections utilize hyaluronic acid dermal fillers to add volume and structure to the lips, with results lasting 6 to 12 months.

    IS NEEDLE OR CANNULA BETTER FOR LIP INJECTIONS?

    Cannulas have blunt tips and cause less bruising but are imprecise for lip filler placement. Dr. Schwarzburg exclusively uses fine needles for lip injections to perfectly sculpt the lips.

    WHEN CAN I WEAR LIPSTICK AFTER LIP INJECTIONS?

    Dr. Schwarzburg suggests giving your lips a breather for 24 hours and instead using a hydrating lip balm to soothe dry lips, which is a common occurence post injection.

    ARE LIP FILLERS WORTH IT?

    Lip fillers offer not just a physical transformation but also a significant boost in self-confidence. By enhancing lip size, shape, and symmetry, they improve appearance and promote heightened self-esteem. This newfound confidence positively impacts personal and professional interactions, making lip fillers a valuable investment for those seeking both beauty and self-assurance.
