How Lip Filler Works

Lip filler uses FDA-approved injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) gel to add volume, define borders, and smooth fine lines around the mouth. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in your skin that attracts and holds moisture, making it ideal for creating soft, natural-feeling lip volume.

During your treatment, your injector uses an ultra-fine needle or cannula to place small amounts of filler precisely where it's needed: along the lip border (vermillion border), into the body of the lip, or into the cupid's bow - depending on your goals.

The entire lip filler treatment takes just 15 to 30 minutes. Results are visible immediately, though mild swelling is normal for the first 24 to 48 hours. Your final lip shape settles within about two weeks as any swelling resolves and the filler fully integrates with your tissue.

Lip filler results typically last 6 to 15 months, depending on the type of filler used, your metabolism, and lifestyle factors. Regular maintenance appointments help you maintain your desired look year-round.

Types of Lip Filler We Offer

Not all lip fillers are the same. At Better Med Spa, we offer three distinct filler options so your injector can recommend the best match for your goals, anatomy, and lifestyle:

‍

RHA Filler (Resilient Hyaluronic Acid)

RHA is a next-generation hyaluronic acid filler designed to move naturally with your facial expressions. Unlike traditional HA fillers, RHA is manufactured using a gentle process that preserves the natural structure of hyaluronic acid, making it exceptionally flexible and resilient.

- Best for: Patients who want the most natural-looking movement, especially when smiling, talking, and kissing
- Duration: Up to 15 months - the longest-lasting HA lip filler available
- Why we love it: RHA looks and feels remarkably natural because it adapts to your lip movements instead of sitting rigidly

Restylane

Restylane is a well-established, FDA-approved HA filler with decades of clinical data behind it. It offers excellent precision and predictable results.

- Best for: Precise shaping, border definition, and cupid's bow enhancement
- Duration: 6 to 12 months
- Why we love it: Restylane's smooth gel consistency makes it ideal for detailed lip sculpting and symmetry correction

EZ Gel (Autologous PRP/PRF Filler)

EZ Gel is a revolutionary natural filler made entirely from your own blood. Your PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) are processed into an injectable gel that provides volume, stimulates collagen, and rejuvenates lip tissue from within.

- Best for: Patients who want a 100% natural, biocompatible filler with zero risk of allergic reaction or adverse response
- Duration: 3 to 6 months, with cumulative improvement over multiple sessions as collagen builds
- Why we love it EZ Gel is the ultimate in natural lip enhancement - no synthetic materials, no foreign substances, just your own biology working to plump and rejuvenate your lips

What Lip Filler Treats

Clients at our Lincoln Park location seek lip filler for a wide range of concerns:

- Thin or flat lips: Add natural-looking volume for a fuller, plumper pout
- Lip asymmetry: Balance uneven lips so they match in shape and fullness
- Lost volume from aging: Restore the fullness and definition that naturally diminishes over time
- Undefined lip borders: Sharpen your lip line and cupid's bow for a more defined, polished look
- Smoker's lines (perioral lines): Smooth the vertical fine lines that form around the mouth
- Lip flip alternative: For patients who want more enhancement than a Botox lip flip can provide, lip filler adds true volume and shape
- Proportion correction: Improve the ratio between upper and lower lips for a balanced, harmonious appearance

What to Expect at Your Lip Filler Appointment

Consultation (5-10 minutes): Your injector assesses your lip anatomy, discusses your aesthetic goals, reviews your medical history, and creates a personalized treatment plan. We'll explain which filler type and volume we recommend and why, so you feel confident before we begin.

Numbing (10-15 minutes): A prescription-strength topical numbing cream is applied to your lips and surrounding area to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Most of our lip fillers also contain lidocaine for additional comfort during injection.

Treatment (15-30 minutes): Using an ultra-fine needle or cannula, your injector places the filler precisely where it's needed. You'll be able to see progress in real time and provide feedback. Our injectors work slowly and methodically, building volume gradually for the most natural result.

Immediately after: You may experience mild swelling, tenderness, and possibly light bruising. This is completely normal and typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours. We'll provide you with aftercare instructions and a cold compress.

Aftercare guidelines:
- Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours (increases bruising risk)
- Do not massage or press on your lips for 48 hours
- Avoid extreme heat (saunas, hot yoga) for 48 hours
- Use ice packs as needed for swelling

Results timeline: You'll see immediate volume after treatment. Your final lip shape settles beautifully within about two weeks as swelling fully resolves. We offer a complimentary 2-week follow-up to assess your results and make any minor adjustments if needed.
