Lip Fillers
Lip Fillers in San Diego
Lip fillers, also known as lip injections are a non-surgical treatment option for patients looking to add volume to the lips, enhance the natural shape of the lip, define the lip line, smooth out lip lines, or correct asymmetry in the lips.
How Lip Fillers in San Diego Work
Juvederm and Restylane are two of the lip filler options that we offer. These lip fillers are gel-like formulations composed of hyaluronic acid, a molecular compound found within the structure of the skin. When injected into the lips, these lip fillers create volume, correct asymmetry, and deliver a hydrated look to the lips.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lip Fillers in San Diego
Our goal is to help every client feel comfortable during their appointment for lip fillers in San Diego. Here are a few examples of questions that we receive from our lip filler patients:
What can I expect from a lip filler treatment?
During your initial consultation for a lip filler treatment, our nurses will determine the correct formulation and injection site to best deliver your desired lip filler results. A dental block will be administered to help numb the lip filler injection site. You might experience a bit of tenderness at the lip filler injection site during and following the lip filler treatment, accompanied by redness and swelling. However, those side effects diminish during the week after the initial lip filler treatment. Bruising at or around the lip filler injection site is normal, and you can reduce the chances of bruising by taking arnica pellets a few days prior to receiving lip filler treatment. The effects of lip filler can last roughly 9-12 months post-treatment; the body will slowly metabolize the formulation, which can look like a gradual loss of volume over time.
How do I get the best lip filler results?
Carefully following the lip filler aftercare instructions given by our nurses is the best way to ensure that your lip filler will enhance your features. We recommend a yearly routine lip filler treatment in order to preserve your results once you notice the lip filler starting to dissolve.
How long do lip fillers last?
Lip fillers can last anywhere from 5-12 months.
Do lip fillers make your lips feel hard?
Lip fillers should not cause the lips to feel hard.
Do lip fillers ruin your natural lips?
While lip fillers can be used to redefine the lips and help address volume loss, they are temporary and will eventually dissolve back to the natural state of the lip.
How many times a year should you get a lip filler?
Depends on the patient’s lip filler treatment objectives.
Will I be able to smile after my appointment without causing damage to my lip injections?
Smiling post-lip filler treatment will not affect the lip filler, however we advise patients to avoid drinking from straws, kissing, or manipulating the lip filler treatment area for at least two weeks post-lip filler treatment to ensure proper healing.
Should I avoid any foods or drinks after my lip filler appointment?
Avoid spicy foods and drinking from a straw after your lip filler appointment
