Are Lip Fillers painful?

Lip Fillers are not painful due to the numbing cream that is applied before your treatment. You may feel a slight, uncomfortable pinch from the needle, but it should be pretty quick. During your recovery, you may feel some bruising or very mild pain for the first 24 hours, but this can be alleviated with ice packs and over-the-counter pain medication.

How many appointments will I need?

After the initial injections, many patients come back after a few months for a touch-up, as lip fillers are not performant. Results will last for several months, and the time can vary from patient to patient.

How long until I see results?

You should be able to recognize some immediate results after your treatment, but your lips will be swollen, sensitive, and/or bruised after your injections. These effects should typically dissipate over the next 24 - 48 hours, although in some cases, can take up to a week. Once these reactions go away, you can enjoy the results between 12 and 18 months.

Can I combine Lip Fillers with other procedures?

Absolutely! So many of our Lip Filler patients in New Hope and Sellersville will combine their treatment with other aesthetic enhancers, such as BOTOX , PRF Injections , or other Dermal Fillers . During your consultation, we encourage you to share your goals with your Aesthetician so they can evaluate the area and make the best suggestions for you.

What are the risks associated with Lip Fillers?

Our certified providers have a lot of practice performing healthy injections that leave so many of our patients incredibly happy. There are some side effects and risks associated with the procedure that you should be aware of, which can include, but are not limited to: Bleeding and pain at the injection sites Cold sore reactivation Discoloration or tenderness Dizzyness Filler migration (the lip filler may bleed into other areas of your face, usually toward the nose) Infection Nausea Tissue death (a.k.a. vascular compromise, which can occur if lip filler is injected into or around an artery) Your lips may be of different sizes (asymmetry) While many of these reactions will cure themselves, if you have any concerning or long-lasting side effects, please contact the office nearest to you immediately.

What Are Lip Fillers

Aesthetics Performed

Lip Fillers are non-invasive injections that add volume to your lips. They use a synthetic Hyaluronic Acid (HA), which is designed to mimic the natural substance your body creates. When naturally produced, HA helps stretch and flex your skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and even help your wounds heal faster! The synthetic version will help give you beautiful, pouty lips that are viewed as so attractive by many people.

What’s the first step?

If you are near either one of our locations in New Hope or Sellersville and are interested in Lip Fillers, the first step is to contact Pure by Alpha Dermatology to set up a consultation. When you come into our Medical spa, you will meet with a certified nurse or doctor to discuss your wants and goals for this treatment. You will be able to ask any questions you may have and will receive an examination of your lips to determine the best method for injection. You will also be asked about your medical history, during which time it is very important to be open and honest as it will help prevent any unnecessary risks during the treatment or while you recover.

After collecting the information that they need, your provider will be able to create a treatment plan just for you. If you agree with the plan that is made, you will be able to have your Lip Filler injections performed immediately after your consultation. If you would like to reschedule, you will be able to speak with our Patient Coordinator and choose a date and time that is best for you.

What to Expect on the Day of Lip Fillers

When it’s time to receive your Lip Fillers, the provider will apply a topical anesthetic to your lips so you won’t feel any pain and will be as comfortable as possible during the treatment. This part will take the longest as it can take anywhere between 15 and 30 minutes to completely numb your lips. The numbing cream consists of benzocaine, lidocaine, and tetracaine (BLT), so if you are allergic to any of these medications, you may be given a nerve blocker injection instead.

The Injector then uses a very thin needle to inject the HA filler into specific areas of your lips. These locations, which could be individualized or combined, are the edges of your lips (vermillion border), the curve in the center of your upper lip (Cupid’s bow), and your oral commissures (corners of your mouth). While the numbing cream should prevent any pain, you may feel a slight pinch from the needle insertion, which can cause some patients’ eyes to water.

After you and the injector evaluate the results and are happy with the appearance, you will be provided with an ice pack to gently apply to your lips to produce minimal swelling and bruising. The technician may also gently massage your lips so that they absorb the filler better.

The procedure can take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours depending on the amount being injected and how you respond to both the numbing cream and injections.

Lip Fillers Recovery

Once you are finished with the injections, you will be monitored for about 15 minutes to ensure you don’t have any allergic or negative reactions to the filler. Once it seems like you are good to go, you will be able to leave and head home. While you shouldn’t feel tired or groggy from the treatment, you may want to consider having a family member or friend drive you home.

You will receive some tips on how to help get the most out of your treatment, which include:

Avoid wearing anything on your lips (lip balm, lipstick, etc.) for the next 24 hours
Be careful when brushing your teeth
Do not exercise or perform strenuous activities for at least 24 hours
Drink plenty of water
Refrain from touching or puckering your lips, this does include kissing or using a straw
Using an ice pack for about 10 minutes at a time to reduce inflammation, pain, and swelling

Awesome office staff and Carly, Drew and Dr Shrager are phenomenal! Highly recommend. My appointment this time was with Carly and I couldn’t be happier. Very professional, knowledgeable and you can tell she really knows what she’s doing. Alpha Derm is the best!

– Dottie

The results were amazing. I strongly believe that a good filler job means you can’t spot a filler job and she nailed it. I look like me, but more refreshed and younger!

– Melissa

Love the place! The team is wonderful, skilled and very calming. Dr. Shrager is my favorite! Oh, and the renovation looks amazing!
