Before and After Photos

Procedure

At our MedSpa in Houston lip fillers are injected with a fine gauge needle directly into the lip to increase volume and size. There is a pinch when the filler pushes its way under the skin. With the filler in place, the lip is massaged for even distribution.

Benefits

Since the amount of plumping depends on how much filler is used, your expert injector has good control over the outcome. You can start gradually, and if you get to a desired look, treatment can be stopped. Multiple treatments can be scheduled weeks apart to allow the patient to see the gradual improvement in shape and fullness. Other benefits include:

  • Youthful results you’ll enjoy for a long time
  • Immediate results
  • Little to no recovery time
  • Minimal side effects
  • Natural components that aid in the skin’s health
  • Subtle and natural results
  • A good self-confidence builder
  • Adds volume and structure
  • No scars
  • A good collagen boost

Safety

When it comes to lip fillers and safety, it is important to choose a reputable and licensed skincare clinic such as The Clinic for Plastic Surgery.

Lips fillers are relatively safe, but they are not for everyone. General risks for dermal fillers are minor, but it is important to place your care in the right hands to address any concerns you may have. Your provider will help you choose which dermal filler is most appropriate for the look you envision.

Lip Filler Types

At The Clinic for Plastic Surgery Med Spa, you have treatment options. During your consultation for lip fillers Houston medical specialists will tailor a precise injectable treatment to yield natural-looking results and reach your aesthetic goal. Injectable treatments for lip augmentation have a variety of different functions; here is an overview of the Juvéderm family of fillers:

juvéderm ultra

Creates fuller lips and lasts up to 12 months. Experts say Juvéderm Ultra plumps and expands your lip tissues for optimal results.

juvéderm ultra plus

Is an ideal entry-level product for patients who are new to injectables. It lasts from nine months to one year, and experts say you will see good results with increased volume.

juvéderm volbella

Is ideal for smoothing and softening your lip lines. It lasts up to one year, and experts say that Volbella contains less hyaluronic acid and offers structure and definition with a more subtle look.

juvéderm vollure

Creates soft vermillion edges with no swelling and lasts up to 18 months. According to experts, Vollure smooths out lines for soft edges with natural-looking fullness.

juvéderm voluma

Offers long-lasting volume and is designed to add lift and volume. Voluma lasts for up to two years, and experts say it is FDA-approved to treat age-related volume loss.

Procedure Details

Lidocaine or numbing creams are available to ease any discomfort.

You are given specific pre and post-treatment instructions to follow for your lip filler treatment in Houston. One week before your procedure, you will need to refrain from taking medications or supplements that act as blood thinners, such as Aspirin, Motrin, Aleve, Multivitamins, Vitamin E, and Fish Oil. Once your face is cleaned, your injection expert will deliver the lip filler into your lip, where it is massaged and moved around for even distribution. The volume of lip filler units needed is determined during your consultation and based on your treatment plan.

Recovery

Minimal downtime so you can keep on schedule. Most patients find that their only downtime is waiting for the numbness to wear off, which does not take long. You will need to refrain from using a straw or sipping a hot beverage after your treatment, and you will want to avoid sleeping on your face for the first 24 hours.

Results

Your results will last four months to two years, depending on the type of filler received.

For the first couple of days, there is swelling. Once the swelling subsides, usually in about three to four days after your treatment, you should be able to see your final results. Your results are not permanent and depend on how fast your body absorbs the filler. It is recommended to schedule maintenance appointments every six months to adhere to a consistent look and fullness in your lips.
