Lip fillers are injectable treatments designed to add volume and shape to the lips, giving you a more youthful and defined appearance. Made primarily from hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the body, lip fillers can effectively enhance lip volume, correct asymmetry, and smooth vertical lines around the lips. This non-surgical alternative to lip implants offers a quick and effective way to achieve plumper lips and a refreshed look.
The lip filler procedure is quick and easy. Your BEAUTY by BUFORD aesthetic injector begins with a consultation to discuss your goals and help you visualize the results of your treatment. Before starting the injections, they will apply a local anesthetic to numb the lip area. They then use a fine needle to inject the filler strategically into the upper and lower lips, enhancing their shape and volume. The entire process typically takes about 30 minutes, and you can see results right away.
Lip fillers are ideal for those looking to improve lip volume, correct lip asymmetry, and smooth out the fine vertical lines, often referred to as "lipstick lines," around the mouth. They are also an excellent solution for individuals with naturally thin lips or those who have lost lip volume due to aging. The treatment can also redefine the lip line for a more contoured look.
Lip filler treatments don't just create plumper lips. Our precision approach to each lip filler treatment focuses on enhancing your natural shape, improving symmetry, and creating a more defined lip line. Because hyaluronic acid is used, lip fillers deliver natural-looking results while boosting hydration in the lip area to create a smoother and fuller appearance. The treatment is customizable, allowing for subtle enhancement or more dramatic changes depending on your preferences.
The lip filler treatment requires little to no downtime. After your appointment, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness, which typically subsides within a few days. You can resume normal activities immediately, though it’s recommended to avoid strenuous activity or applying pressure to the lips for 24 hours. For optimal results, use a gentle lip balm to keep your lips hydrated and avoid direct sun exposure.
Patients typically see an immediate improvement in lip volume and shape following the procedure. Full results will become more visible once any initial swelling subsides, usually within a few days. Lip filler results generally last between 6 to 12 months. The longevity of your results depends on the specific filler used and your individual rate of metabolism. Maintenance treatments can be scheduled to preserve the fullness and shape of your lips.
Lip fillers are formulated with a gel-like substance containing hyaluronic acid, a natural compound found in the body. Hyaluronic acid fillers are injected into specific areas of the lips to enhance volume and refine the lip contour. Hyaluronic acid is a natural humectant that attracts and retains moisture in the skin, giving your lips a plumper, smoother appearance. The injectable lip augmentation process allows for precise contouring, improves lip symmetry, and smooths out fine lines around the lips, providing immediate, natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
Most patients find lip filler treatments to be very comfortable, thanks to the local anesthetic applied before the injections. You may feel slight pressure or a pinching sensation, but discomfort is minimal.
