Lip Filler
IN NASHVILLE, TN
For patients looking to improve their lip shape and boost their lip volume, lip fillers are likely the perfect solution. They offer a nonsurgical alternative to lip implants and allow you to achieve natural-looking results quickly and easily. With our expert team at Gilpin Facial Plastics and Aesthetics, we can help you achieve your aesthetic goals once and for all.
What is Lip Filler?
Lip fillers are dermal filler injections and a nonsurgical lip augmentation option that adds volume to your lips. These injections are primarily made of hyaluronic acid, which attracts and binds moisture to the lips to plump them up. The hyaluronic acid is also a natural substance found in the body, so there are very few negative reactions.
Juvederm and Restylane are two of the most common lip fillers used, and we offer both of them at Gilpin Facial Plastics and Aesthetics. Filler can be placed in the lower or upper lip.
Who is a Candidate for Lip Filler Injections?
Most patients who are struggling with thin lips or looking for fuller lips are typically good candidates for lip filler treatment. That said, there are some criteria we look for to determine a patient’s eligibility for the lip filler procedure.
Ideal candidates should be in generally good health, have realistic expectations of treatment, be nonsmokers, and be looking to increase their lip volume or fill in fine lines around the lips.
What Should I Expect During Lip Filler Injections?
Lip injections could not be a simpler procedure. We’ll start by cleansing the treatment area and preparing the injections. From there, using a very fine needle, we’ll inject the appropriate formula into the lips. How many injections you receive will depend on the results you’re looking for.
Side Effects of Lip Fillers
As with any treatment, there are some side effects of lip fillers as well. Some of the lip filler effects to look out for include bruising, swelling, infection, redness, tenderness, and allergic reactions. Most effects only last a few hours at most.
What to Expect After Lip Fillers
After your lip filler injections, you may experience some swelling, bruising, and tenderness, but those side effects usually subside within a few hours to a few days. During these first few days, you’ll want to avoid putting pressure on the treated area, strenuous exercise, smoking, alcohol, and blood thinners. Excess heat, makeup, and lip balm should also be avoided for the first 24-48 hours.

How Long Does It Take to Start Working?
You will see immediate results with lip fillers. That said, it can take a few weeks before the filler fully settles and you see the final results. At this stage, any bruising and swelling will also have dissipated, allowing you to enjoy your new luscious lips.
How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?
How long your lip fillers last depends on the type of dermal filler that’s used. Typically, they last from six months to a year, at which point you will need further treatment to maintain your natural-looking results.
