Are Lip Fillers Painful?

While everyone experiences pain in their own unique way, the majority of patients report that their discomfort was minimal during their session. The needles used for lip injections are ultra-thin. Additionally, the lips can be anesthetized with a numbing agent prior to your session, enhancing comfort and peace of mind. After lip fillers, you can use an ice pack to reduce any lingering soreness. You can also take a Tylenol if needed.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

After your session, your results will typically last from 6-12 months, sometimes as long as 18 months. At that point, you can repeat the treatment if you desire to maintain an appealing, youthful smile indefinitely.

How Long Until I See the Results?

Within about one week, mild swelling and bruising will have abated, and you’ll be able to see your results emerge. Your smile will look rejuvenated and alluring, and you will see fewer lip lines.

Can I Combine Lip Fillers with Other Procedures?

For many patients visiting Truffles Aesthetics in Atlanta, GA, lip fillers are just the beginning of undergoing transformative procedures to look and feel their very best. We offer a broad range of non-invasive cosmetic solutions to revitalize your image and heighten your self-confidence.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a biocompatible compound found naturally in the human body. It supports the skin’s hydration, suppleness, and resilience. As the body ages, HA levels decline, leaving the skin prone to creases, lines, and volume loss. Enter lip fillers engineered with hyaluronic acid. These injectables can correct a host of cosmetic concerns, including loss of definition in Cupid’s bow and lip borders, lip asymmetry, downturned corners of the mouth, vertical lip lines, and a deflated smile. Our practitioners can carefully curate your injections so you look naturally elegant and refreshed – never overfilled.

What Are the Benefits of Lip Fillers?

Hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Juvederm or Restylane are a quick and straightforward treatment for thinning, age-depleted lips. Key benefits include:

Non-surgical and non-invasive
Corrects signs of aging
Smooths lip lines and creases
Creates a more sultry, inviting pout
Improves lip symmetry and definition
Enhances lip fullness and vitality
Results can last 6-12 months on average
Boosts self-confidence

Who Are the Best Candidates for Lip Fillers?

For busy, active individuals in Atlanta, lip fillers are an excellent alternative to fat transfer and implants because injections take just minutes to complete, and patients can immediately resume their normal activities afterward. As long as you are a healthy non-smoker with realistic expectations, you will likely qualify to receive lip fillers. Our team will conduct a thorough consultation and review of your medical history to make sure the treatment suits your goals and needs. Note that patients receiving lip fillers should be over 21 years old.

Let’s Get Started

What’s the
first step?

Your first step in getting lip fillers is to meet with our caring, knowledgeable team in Atlanta, GA, so we can listen to your concerns and formulate the perfect treatment plan for you. Each person has different aesthetic needs, so looking at before and after photos together can help us better meet your expectations. Some prefer a bold, sassy smile, while others prefer the “less is more” route to lip augmentation. Prior to your lip injections, you should do the following:

Avoid blood thinners and alcohol.
Refrain from wearing makeup on the day of your treatment
Postpone any major event or outing for several weeks after your injections

What to Expect on the Day of Lip Filler Treatment

Your lip filler appointment begins with a local anesthetic applied to the lips to numb your skin, ensuring you remain comfortable and at ease throughout the treatment. This process usually takes about 20-30 minutes. Once you are ready, your injection points will be carefully mapped out on your lips to lock in precision and detail. Lip fillers are then strategically administered to provide you with a more youthful, engaging smile.

Lip Filler Recovery

One of the reasons lip fillers are so popular is that they come with no downtime. Patients can get back to their normal activities and schedules immediately without skipping a beat. That being said, there are a few points to consider during the healing phase of your treatment:

You may encounter swelling, bruising, and asymmetry for the first week
You may notice small bumps for up to a month
Don’t put pressure on your lips for the first 6 hours, and avoid strenuous exercise during this time
Use Arnica cream to alleviate soreness and bruising
You can apply ice to the treatment areas and use NSAIDs as desired
For the first day after your session, avoid alcoholic drinks

How Much Do Lip Fillers Cost in Atlanta?

Choosing to undergo treatment with lip fillers in Atlanta is an investment in your appearance and self-esteem. Because results can last up to a year, the procedure is considered cost-effective in the long run. Each person will need a different number of syringes to achieve their unique lip-plumping goals, so that costs will vary. During your private consultation, we will review your concerns and evaluate your lips, providing you with a personalized quote for services at that time.
