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 will increase and the definition will be enhanced.
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.
Am I a Good Candidate For Lip Fillers?
Lip fillers are perfect for enhancing your appearance without surgery. They are ideal for achieving fuller, more voluminous lips, especially for those with naturally thin lips. Lip fillers correct genetic asymmetries, bringing balance to your face.
As we age, the decrease in collagen and hyaluronic acid leads to volume loss and wrinkles. Lip fillers rejuvenate lips by restoring lost volume and smoothing age-related lines. They also allow for precise enhancement of features like the Cupid’s bow and philtrum columns, further refining facial aesthetics and definition.
When Should I Avoid Lip Injections?
If you have allergies to the ingredients used in fillers, experience active cold sores or infections near the lips, or have autoimmune diseases, it is crucial to discuss these with Dr. Schwarzburg, as they could prevent you from getting the injections. 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 Do I Prepare For The Procedure?
Schedule your lip filler appointment with enough lead time to recover before any major events, allowing 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 you will get a preemptive dose of Valtrex to 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 Actual Lip Injection Process?
The lip injection process at Skinly Aesthetics starts with a detailed consultation with Dr. Schwarzburg to outline your goals and review your health history.
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 meticulously 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.
How Long Does It Take to Fill the Lips?
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.
Are Lip Fillers Safe?
When you choose lip fillers, safety and effectiveness are paramount. Lip injections use FDA-approved fillers, providing an additional layer of safety and reliability. Dr. Schwarzburg’s expertise in NYC ensures precise and safe lip filler treatments that preserve your lip health and aesthetics. It’s crucial to avoid unsupervised procedures and prioritize professional care from experienced practitioners like Dr. Schwarzburg to avoid complications.
What Is the Aftercare Following Injections?
Please follow the following simple aftercare steps following your lip augmentation. Start by applying an ice pack immediately and continue for the first 24 hours to reduce swelling. Avoid heavy exercise, hot environments like saunas, and any lip pressure activities (like kissing or using a straw) during the first day.
What Can I Do About Bruising and Swelling?
To help with any lip bruising, consider using aloe vera, vitamin K, or arnica cream. Dr. Schwarzburg also recommends using a warm compress to speed up healing process.
If you experience tenderness, over-the-counter pain relievers like Aleeve or Ibuprofen are very effective.
Is There Any Downtime to Consider?
The downtime following a lip filler procedure is often minimal to none because of its non-surgical nature, despite misconceptions fueled by online content. There is typically minor social downtime related to minor swelling and bruising. Many patients feel comfortable showcasing their enhanced lips shortly after leaving the clinic.
What Are Risks and Side Effects Associated With Lip Fillers?
Bruising is the most common complication and can last for 1-4 days due to the needle piercing small blood vessels.
Occasionally, the procedure might reactivate cold sores, which can be swiftly managed with Valtrex.
Small lumps or nodules, if they appear, can usually be smoothed out with massage or, if necessary, dissolved 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.
If My Lips Look Uneven Is That Normal?
Initial swelling within the first 1-3 days can make lips look larger and uneven, a normal part of the healing process. Be patient and rest assured that you will have a beautiful pout in a few short days once the swelling subsides.
Do Lip Injections Hurt?
Lip injections are very uncomfortable without proper numbing. Dr. Schwarzburg ensures a pain-free experience by applying a strong compounded numbing cream before the procedure. For those highly sensitive to pain, Dr. Schwarzburg offers injectable lidocaine for enhanced numbness. Additionally, most hyaluronic acid lip fillers contain lidocaine, which further enhances comfort throughout the procedure.
How Soon Will I See The Results?
Hyaluronic acid gels 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 the treatment, there’s a solution. Hyaluronic acid-based gels 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 1ml hyaluronidase injection, lips revert to their natural state within 24 hours.
How Many Syringes Will I Need?
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 enough lip volume enhancement with just one 1 mL syringe and for you to still remain looking natural.
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 Difference Between Lip Flip And Lip Filler?
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.
When Can I Wear Lipstick?
Dr. Schwarzburg suggests giving your lips a breather for 24 hours and instead use 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.
