Increase Lip Volume With Lip Fillers
Lip fillers work by using substances like hyaluronic acid that bind to water in the lips, causing them to plump up and look fuller.
There are a few common ways lip fillers can enhance volume:
- Adding fullness and volume to the lips
- Plumping and enhancing the lip shape
- Smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles on the lips
- Enhancing the natural lip color by increasing blood flow
- Restoring lost volume within the lip area
By expertly injecting dermal filler into strategic areas of the lips, our skilled providers can shape and define your lips for a beautiful, natural-looking enhancement.
How to Achieve Natural-Looking Lips with Lip Fillers
Achieving a natural lip look with fillers requires precision, skill and an artistic eye. Here are some tips to keep in mind:
- Ask to see before and after photos of actual patients to ensure your provider can achieve natural-looking results. At Allure Medical, we’ll gladly show you examples of our work.
- Maintain a 1:1 ratio between the outer corners of your top and bottom lip for symmetry. An uneven ratio can look unnatural.
- Opt for hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane and Juvederm. These substances naturally attract water to plump the lips subtly.
- Communicate that you want a subtle, natural-looking enhancement – not an overly plumped, exaggerated look.
- Avoid overfilling, as this is what creates an artificial, “duck lip” appearance.
- Let our injectors know you want voluptuous yet smooth, beautifully shaped lips.
Our skilled providers have an artistic eye and can carefully shape and define your lips for gorgeous, natural-looking results you’ll love!
How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?
Lip fillers are not permanent, but rather provide temporary enhancement. On average, most patients can expect their lip filler results to last 6-18 months. However, individual duration is influenced by several factors:
- The specific type of dermal filler used
- The injection location and technique
- Your individual metabolism
Most patients see satisfying results lasting 6-12 months from lip filler treatments but the NHS reveals that fillers can provide results for between 6-18 months for most individuals.
At Allure Medical, we use the highest quality dermal fillers to maximize your results. Schedule your touch up appointments with us to maintain your gorgeous lip fullness!
Risks of Lip Fillers
Lip fillers are very safe non-surgical treatments performed millions of times each year. Still, as with any cosmetic procedure, some risks do exist:
- Temporary swelling and bruising that resolves within a few days to weeks
- Lumps under the skin that may require treatment
- Filler migrating from the treatment area
- Infection
- Allergic reaction
- Skin eruptions and lumps after treatment
- Itching which can indicate infection
- Asymmetry if injection is not administered properly
- Bleeding at the injection site
More serious but very rare risks include abscesses, facial disfigurement if filler is not properly removed, and respiratory distress. However, these only occur with severely improper technique.
Our expert providers at Allure Medical have in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy and proper injection methods making these complications rarer to occur.

How to Care for Lips After Fillers
Getting lip fillers can enhance your pout, but you’ll need to take proper aftercare to ensure the best results. Follow these tips during your recovery:
Immediately After Treatment
- Apply an ice pack wrapped in a cloth to your lips for 10 minutes a few times during the first 24 hours. This will help minimize swelling and inflammation. Avoid direct ice contact.
- Sleep propped up on extra pillows to keep your head elevated and reduce swelling.
- Take over-the-counter pain medication like acetaminophen if you have any discomfort.
- Do not apply lip color, gloss or balm for at least 8 hours after your treatment.
- Avoid strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours to keep your blood pressure low.
- Stay out of the sun and avoid heat from tanning beds, or saunas. This can worsen swelling.
- Call your provider if you have severe pain, changes in vision, white bumps, swelling after 48 hours or other concerning symptoms.
First Week of Recovery
- Apply aloe vera gel or arnica cream to your lips to soothe them as they heal.
- Drink lots of water and avoid excess salt to minimize swelling.
- Gently cleanse your face and lips, but avoid scrubbing or picking.
- Avoid extreme hot or cold temperatures when possible.
Long-Term Aftercare
- Avoid direct sun exposure and use SPF 30+ lip balm when outdoors. The sun can degrade filler results.
- Wait 2 weeks before receiving any skin treatments like chemical peels, microneedling or laser resurfacing.
- Schedule a follow-up appointment in 2-4 weeks to assess your results.
