Lip filler in St. Louis
Add volume and definition to your lips, placed precisely for a natural look. At our physician-led med spa in Creve Coeur, led by Dr. Ameha Hagos, every lip treatment starts with a one-on-one consultation.
What is lip filler?
Lip filler is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler placed in the lips to add volume and definition. Hyaluronic acid is a substance found naturally in the body that attracts water and keeps skin supple. At Beauty & Wellness on Olive in Creve Coeur, your injector recommends the filler type and placement for your lips at a one-on-one consultation.
Which fillers are used for lips?
Lips are usually treated with a lower viscosity hyaluronic acid filler, which attracts water and spreads easily. Fillers recommended for the lips include Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Volbella and Restylane Kysse, and Revanesse Versa is also used for lips. Your provider will choose the one that fits your goals.
What happens at a lip filler appointment?
We start with a one-on-one consultation to understand your goals and your medical history, then recommend the filler type and placement for your result.
The treatment itself usually takes about 30 minutes. The area is cleansed, a topical anesthetic may be applied for comfort, and filler is placed with a fine needle or cannula. Our injectors prioritize your comfort and place each injection precisely for a natural look.
What should I expect afterwards?
Results are visible immediately, with minimal downtime. Some slight redness, swelling or bruising is common and usually settles within a few hours to a few days.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun and alcohol for at least 24 hours
- Apply ice to the area to help reduce swelling
- Your full result shows once any swelling has resolved
How long does lip filler last?
Most standard hyaluronic acid fillers last up to a year, and Juvederm Volbella can last up to 18 months. Your provider will give you tailored guidance at your consultation.
Can lip filler be part of facial balancing?
Yes. Lip filler is often planned alongside chin and cheek filler to rebalance your features for a more harmonious look. See dermal fillers for the other areas we treat. If you are after a subtle lip flip rather than added volume, that is done with a neuromodulator.
