What Are Lip Fillers?
Modern lip fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in the body. Most patients can tolerate it very well. Injections are made into and around the lips to make them appear full and lifted.
What Is a Lip Flip?
With this technique, a small amount of BOTOX® Cosmetic is used above the upper lip to turn the lip up and to help diminish wrinkles next to the lip. In combination with a lip filler, which adds volume and plumpness, the final result is natural and youthful.
Will My Lips Be Swollen After the Injections?
There will be slight swelling for a few days after the injection, and applying cold compresses will help reduce the swelling. Initially, your lips will seem fuller, so you must be patient for the swelling to come down and any bruising to subside.
Will My Lips Look Fake?
It's important for the patient and injector to have a thorough consultation in order to set the right expectations and assess the health and anatomy of the lips and face. Keeping a healthy and natural appearance is the ultimate goal.
How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?
Most lip fillers last approximately six months. However, the exact duration varies per individual.

How Much Does This Cost?
The cost of lip filler injections varies as to the product and amount of syringes used, with the typical cost coming in at $700 per syringe used. More important than cost is the experience of the injector and someone who listens to your needs and understands your personal facial anatomy. Easy financing is available with a variety of payment plan options. Get pre-approval here.
FAQs
How Do I Know if I'm a Good Lip Filler Candidate?
A good lip filler candidate is someone who:
- Wants to enhance the volume, shape, or symmetry of their lips
- Is in generally good health
- Doesn't have active oral infections or significant allergies
- Has realistic goals for the procedure
Lip fillers are well-suited for those seeking subtle to moderate changes without a surgical approach. A consultation with a professional, like those at SomaSou MedSpa, will help determine if this treatment aligns with your goals and health considerations.
Will I Feel Any Pain During the Lip Filler Injection?
You may experience minimal discomfort during lip filler injections. However, our providers often apply a numbing cream or local anesthetic to enhance comfort.
Many lip fillers also contain lidocaine. This is a mild anesthetic that further reduces pain as the treatment progresses.
Most patients report only mild pressure or a slight pinching sensation. This makes the experience more manageable.
Are Lip Fillers Reversible?
Yes, you can reverse most lip fillers, especially those made with hyaluronic acid. If you're unsatisfied with the results, a trained provider can use an enzyme called hyaluronidase to dissolve the filler and adjust your appearance.
This reversibility is a significant benefit for patients seeking flexibility and peace of mind when trying lip enhancement for the first time.
It's still important to discuss this option with your provider before treatment. They will ensure you understand the process and what to expect if you desire a reversal in the future.
What Should I Avoid Before My Lip Filler Appointment?
For about a week before your lip filler appointment, avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications and supplements. This includes:
- Aspirin
- Ibuprofen
- Vitamin E
- Fish oil
It's also a good idea to refrain from intense exercise, sun exposure, and facial treatments. These may lead to sensitivity in the treated area.
It's best to avoid caffeine as well. It can contribute to dehydration and swelling.
