What Is Lip Filler?

Pre-Injection Tips
Filler is an important preventative measure to stop wrinkles in the targeted areas from ever forming. Many of Dr. Rostan’s patients begin using filler in their late 20s or early 30s—whenever they see wrinkles begin to form.
- Refrain from using aspirin or ibuprofen for a week before injections.
- Full effects will be present within two weeks.
- A very small needle is used to inject, so there is almost no pain.
- Effects typically last 3–4 months for most areas.
POST-INJECTION TIPS
Normal post-treatment reactions include swelling, redness, tenderness, mild pain or discomfort, bruising, itching, and mild skin discoloration. These typically resolve over several days.
- Massage treated areas every day, a few times a day.
- You may apply makeup a few hours after your treatment.
- Apply an ice pack to treated areas to help reduce swelling.
- Avoid excessive sunlight & UV exposure till redness minimizes.

Lip Filler FAQs
Why are Lip Fillers used?
Lip fillers are used to improve the size, shape, and appearance of the lips. The process involves injecting precise amounts of dermal fillers into different areas of the lips to add volume and refine their shape. They are perfect for those who are unhappy with the appearance of their lips and for those who are not interested in surgical lip augmentation.
How long do Lip Fillers last?
The length of your lip filler results depends on multiple factors. The type of dermal filler used plays a significant role in how long the results last. Each patient also breaks down the lip filler at different rates, which affects the duration of their results. Most lip fillers last for around one year.
Can you get Lip Fillers while pregnant?
When can I eat or drink after having my Lip Filler injections?
What's the difference between Restylane and Juvéderm for lip filler?
Both are hyaluronic acid fillers, but they have slightly different formulations and consistencies, which can affect how they feel and flow once injected. Your provider will recommend the product best suited to your lip shape and the look you’re going for.
Does getting lip filler hurt?
Most patients feel very little discomfort thanks to the fine needle used and the option for, a topical numbing cream or filler with built-in lidocaine. Any mild pinching or pressure during the injections typically fades quickly.
How should I prepare for my lip filler appointment?
Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, and other blood thinners for about a week beforehand to help minimize bruising, and steer clear of alcohol the day before your appointment. Arriving with clean, makeup-free lips also helps the process go smoothly.
When will I see my final results after lip filler?
You’ll notice volume right away, but initial swelling can make lips look fuller than their true final shape. Give it about two weeks to see the true, settled result.
What are the possible side effects of lip filler?
Swelling, redness, tenderness, mild discomfort, bruising, itching, and slight discoloration are all normal after treatment. These effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few days.
Can lip filler be dissolved if I'm not happy with the results?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane and Juvéderm can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if you’d like to reverse or adjust your results.
Will lip filler make my lips look fake or overdone?
Not when it’s done thoughtfully. A skilled injector uses filler conservatively and strategically to enhance your natural lip shape, so results look full and balanced rather than exaggerated.
Is lip filler safe?
Lip filler is considered a safe, well-established treatment when performed by a qualified, experienced injector. As with any injectable, mild and temporary side effects are possible, and your provider will review your health history to make sure it’s right for you.
How often will I need touch-up appointments?
Since results typically last 3 to 4 months in the lips, most patients schedule touch-ups every few months to maintain their preferred volume and shape.
Can lip filler correct uneven or asymmetrical lips?
Yes. Filler can be used strategically to balance uneven lips, refine the cupid’s bow, and even out volume between the upper and lower lip for a more symmetrical appearance.
What should I avoid after getting lip filler?
Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun or heat exposure, and touching or pressing on your lips for the first day or so. It’s also best to hold off on any additional facial treatments in the area until your provider gives the go-ahead.
Am I a good candidate for lip filler?
Most healthy adults looking to add volume, improve symmetry, or smooth fine lines around the lips are good candidates. A consultation will confirm that lip filler is right for your goals and health history.
