Hyaluronic Acid Lip Filler

Lip filler is $750 to $900 per syringe. Most lip treatments use half a syringe or a full syringe in one visit, so the amount of gel decides the figure. The consultation is complimentary and there is no deposit.

Hyaluronic acid lasts six to twelve months in the lips. Lips move constantly, so the gel breaks down faster here than in the cheeks or the jawline. A touch-up before the shape fades keeps it consistent.

Topical numbing cream goes on first, and the lidocaine in Restylane-L keeps the lip numb as the gel is placed. Most patients describe pressure at each point. Swelling afterward is more noticeable than the injection itself.

Yes. Hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks the gel down, so the result is reversible if you change your mind or want the shape adjusted.

Half a syringe is enough for most first treatments, and a full syringe is used when the shape needs more height or fullness. Starting with less and adding at a follow-up is what keeps lips from looking overfilled. If the lip already has body, a Botox lip flip relaxes the muscle at the lip border so the upper lip rolls outward.

The consultation is complimentary and lip filler is priced per syringe, with the number of syringes agreed at that consultation, so the total is known in advance. A credit card holds the appointment and no deposit is taken, with a $100 fee for a no-show or a cancellation inside 48 hours. Gift cards are available if you are booking for someone else.

Lip filler is a non-surgical injection of hyaluronic acid gel, a sugar molecule your skin already makes, into the lips. Gel placed in the lip body adds fullness, gel along the vermillion border sharpens the outline, and small amounts at the corners lift a downturned mouth. Volume shows the same day, swelling fades within a few days, and the true shape is visible at about two weeks. Hyaluronic acid in the lips lasts six to twelve months, and hyaluronidase can dissolve it at any point.

No. Hyaluronic acid filler is not used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. There are no controlled safety studies in pregnant or nursing patients, so elective injections wait until after weaning. That precaution is standard across aesthetic practice and applies to neuromodulators such as Botox and Dysport too. Pregnancy and breastfeeding are asked about at intake, along with your medical history and medications. If you are planning a pregnancy, hyaluronic acid already in the lips breaks down over six to twelve months and needs no action. Book a complimentary consultation to talk through timing.

Russian lip filler is an injection technique that uses the same hyaluronic acid gels. The gel is injected vertically from inside the lip body out toward the border, which lifts the height of the lip and flattens its forward projection, so the lip reads taller from the front. It suits some lip shapes and not others; a thin upper lip with little support often does better with gel in the body of the lip and a defined border. The technique, the amount and the shape you want are examined and agreed at the consultation.
