Lip Filler FAQs: What to Know Before Your Appointment
Lip fillers can restore shape, smooth fine lines, and enhance definition—all with minimal downtime. At Balance Hormone Center, our licensed providers use FDA-approved fillers like Restylane® and Belotero Balance® to create soft, natural-looking results that complement your features.
What Are Lip Fillers?
Lip fillers are injectable gels made from hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in your skin. They add volume, shape, and hydration to the lips while smoothing vertical lip lines.
How Do Lip Fillers Work?
Small amounts of filler are injected beneath the skin to plump and contour the lips. Hyaluronic acid binds to water molecules, instantly creating fullness and a smooth texture. Over time, your body safely absorbs the material.
Are Lip Fillers Safe?
Yes—when performed by an experienced injector, lip fillers are very safe. The products used at Balance Hormone Center are FDA-approved and made from ingredients naturally found in the body. Mild swelling or redness may appear for a day or two, but serious reactions are rare.
How Much Do Lip Fillers Cost?
Most treatments cost between $400 and $600 per syringe, depending on the product and the amount needed. Many patients achieve beautiful results with just one syringe.
How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?
Lip filler results usually last six to twelve months. Factors like metabolism, lifestyle, and the specific filler used can affect longevity. Regular touch-ups help maintain volume and shape.
Do Lip Fillers Hurt?
Most patients report minimal discomfort. A numbing agent is used before treatment, and you’ll likely feel only slight pressure or a small pinch. Any tenderness usually fades within hours.
What Lip Filler Products Do You Use?
We use Restylane® and Belotero Balance®, two trusted brands formulated to deliver natural, flexible results. These hyaluronic acid fillers integrate smoothly with your tissue for a soft, balanced appearance.
How Much Swelling Is Normal After Lip Fillers?
Some swelling and light bruising are expected for two to three days. To reduce swelling, apply a cool compress and avoid excessive heat or exercise. If redness or itching persists, contact our office.
How Can I Make Lip Fillers Last Longer?
Schedule maintenance treatments before your filler completely wears off. Staying hydrated, limiting sun exposure, and caring for the skin around your lips can also extend your results.
Can You Get Lip Fillers While Pregnant?
It’s best to wait. There isn’t enough clinical research to confirm the safety of lip fillers during pregnancy, so treatment should be postponed until after delivery.
What Should I Avoid After Getting Lip Fillers?
Avoid strenuous activity, alcohol, and direct heat for 24 hours. Follow your injector’s aftercare instructions carefully—this helps minimize swelling and ensures smooth, even results.
