What Does Lip Enhancement Involve?
Lip enhancement covers more than volume. A provider looks at fullness, the border, the balance between upper and lower lip, and how your lips move when you speak and smile.
That is why being specific helps. You may be looking for more definition or balance, rather than simply increasing the size.
What a lip consultation covers
- Fullness through the body of the lip
- Definition along the vermilion border
- Balance between the upper and lower lip
- Definition of the philtral columns
- Fine lines around the mouth
What contributes to it
- Natural shifts in the skin's collagen and elastin with age
- Gradual reduction of volume in the lip itself
- Cumulative sun exposure
- Individual anatomy, which varies a great deal among people
- Repeated movement of the muscle around the mouth
What to Know About Lip Filler in Scranton
Lip filler can involve some swelling or bruising in the days afterward. If you have something coming up that matters to you, whether that is a wedding, a reunion or a family photograph, it is worth planning the appointment around it.
How to Plan Your Lip Filler Appointment
- Tell your provider at the consultation if you have a date in mind for treatment scheduling.
- Allow a few days for any swelling to settle before an event.
- Filler results are not permanent, and how long a result lasts varies with the product, the area and the individual.
Lip Enhancement: common questions
How long does swelling last after lip filler?
Some swelling or bruising in the days after treatment is common. Your provider will talk you through what to expect and how to plan around anything you have coming up.
How much lip filler will I need?
It depends on your lips and your goals, and that is what the consultation is for. We start conservatively, and you can always add more at a later visit.
