Introduction

Introduction to Lip Filler

Soft, voluptuous lips are sexy, attractive, and attainable—whether you’ve inherited them from your parents or not. Dermal filler injections can give you the plump, full lips you always wanted, and they can also correct asymmetry and restore lost volume. As collagen diminishes, even adults in their late 20s and early 30s may notice their lips are not as full as they once were. World-renowned and board-certified dermatologist Dr. Morgan Rabach and her team of skilled dermal filler injectors are experts at creating gorgeous, natural-looking lips. If you are interested in lip fillers in New York City, please contact our office for a consultation at their LM Medical NYC practice in the Upper East Side and Greenwich Village.

What is Lip Filler?

The fat in the lips dictates their fullness. Some people are born with flatter, thinner lips, but everyone loses volume in the lips and the skin as they age. Gone are the days of overdone lip enhancements. With the right application, new dermal filler options can provide beautiful lip volume that looks and feels natural.

Dermal fillers are hyaluronic acid (HA) injections that can create the desired fullness in lips while providing a smooth finish. Injection technique and filler placement are important, as is choosing the right formulation. The best dermal fillers for lips use smaller particles of HA that are more flexible for the delicate skin and mobility of the lips.

Filler injections can provide instant results with no downtime required. There may be a small amount of swelling that will dissipate over the days following your treatment.

What’s the first step?

If you’re looking for lip fillers in New York City, your first step is to schedule a consultation with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Morgan Rabach. During your appointment, Dr. Rabach will discuss your health history, aesthetic goals, and expectations. She will then examine your lips and overall mouth placement to determine the best technique for injecting the fillers.

She will design your plan once you both agree to proceed with the lip filler treatment. You can then take it to the patient concierge to schedule your injection right after your consultation or later at a more convenient time.

What to Expect on the Day of a Lip Filler Treatment

On the day of your lip filler in New York City, Dr. Rabach and her staff will welcome you, get you settled in a treatment room, and review your treatment plan in case of any outlying concerns. Finally, when you are ready, a topical numbing cream will be applied to make you pain-free for the treatment.

Once you are numb, Dr. Rabach will administer the lip filler injections by injecting the filler in the appropriate target areas and gently massaging the lips to achieve your aesthetic goals.

A lip filler procedure without complications will take fifteen to thirty minutes, not including numbing times.

Lip Filler Recovery

After your lip filler treatment, there is no recovery downtime, and patients can resume normal activities immediately.
