Enhance natural lip shape, volume, and balance with customized lip filler treatments at Seaside Dermatology. Lip fillers can address thin lips, age-related volume loss, asymmetry, fine lines, and downturned corners, creating soft, proportionate results that support confidence without looking overdone. Each plan is tailored to your facial anatomy and goals.
Refine Lip Definition And Fullness
Lip fillers are injectable fillers that enhance the shape, structure, and volume of the lips while maintaining a natural appearance. Most lip fillers are made with hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body and helps attract moisture for soft, hydrated results. Treatment can refine lip borders, restore age-related volume loss, smooth fine lines around the mouth, and improve symmetry. The results are temporary, customizable, and tailored to your anatomy, allowing for subtle enhancements rather than an artificial or overfilled look.
Concerns Treated:
- Thin or naturally narrow lips
- Age-related volume loss
- Lip asymmetry or uneven shape
- Fine lines around the mouth
- Poor lip definition or blurred borders
- Downturned corners of the mouth
How It Works
Lip fillers work by injecting hyaluronic acid-based gels into targeted areas of the lips and the surrounding tissue. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the skin that attracts and binds water, helping create volume, structure, and hydration. Once placed, the filler integrates with the surrounding tissue to support the lip framework and smooth fine lines. The gel also stimulates improved moisture retention, resulting in softer, more pliable lips.
Benefits:
- Customizable treatment tailored to your facial anatomy
- Subtle enhancement without overfilling
- Immediate improvement in volume and definition
- Temporary results that allow for adjustments over time
- Minimal downtime with a non-surgical approach
- Uses hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body
Your Options:
Restylane
Restylane is a versatile filler that adds structure, definition, and subtle volume to the lips. It is often chosen to refine lip borders, enhance shape, and address asymmetry. This option allows for controlled enhancement while maintaining smooth, natural-looking results.
Restylane Kysse
Restylane Kysse is formulated specifically for the lips because it offers soft volume, flexibility, and natural movement. Its formulation integrates smoothly with lip tissue and is commonly selected for patients seeking hydrated, kissable lips with refined definition.
RHA 2
RHA 2 is a resilient hyaluronic acid filler that adapts to facial movement, making it well-suited for dynamic areas like the lips. It provides subtle volume and structure while maintaining a natural feel at rest and in motion, especially for patients concerned about stiffness.
RHA Redensity
RHA Redensity is formulated for delicate areas and is often used to smooth fine lines, improve texture, and enhance subtle lip volume. It offers refined correction with a lightweight feel, making it ideal for patients seeking understated enhancement and improved lip hydration.
Your Experience
Treatment
During your appointment, you begin with a consultation to discuss your goals and review your facial anatomy. Your provider cleans the treatment area and may apply numbing to enhance comfort. Next, small amounts of the chosen filler(s) are placed into targeted areas of the lips with a fine needle. The process is carefully controlled to ensure balance and accuracy.
Recovery
After treatment, you may notice mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites. These side effects typically resolve within a few days. There is no downtime, so you can return to most daily activities right away. However, you may be advised to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, or pressure on the lips for a short period.
Results
You may notice changes immediately after treatment, with continued settling as swelling subsides over the following days. Lip fillers typically last several months, depending on the product used, your metabolism, and lifestyle factors. Because fillers are gradually broken down by the body, touch-ups are recommended once or twice a year to preserve your look.
