How does the lip augmentation procedure work?
15 minutes after topical anesthetic is applied to the treatment area, a dermal filler is strategically injected into the lips, which are then massaged.
How long is the procedure?
It typically lasts around 30–45 minutes. The benefits will appear immediately, and after temporary swelling, full results will be realized within 2 weeks.
Will there be side effects?
Swelling, redness, itching, pain, tenderness, lumpiness, or mild bruising are common at the injection site. They will subside within 2–14 days. Swelling and bruising are common, so plan accordingly around a break in your schedule.
