LIP FILLERS & INJECTIONS IN BEVERLY HILLS: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

From the big screen to Instagram, a gorgeous pout has become a must-have. Luckily, this aesthetic is safe and easy to achieve if you have a provider with the right skill and experience.

Lip fillers are one of the most popular injectable treatments, and one of the most injector-dependent when it comes to results. Successful treatment of the lips requires knowledge of, and respect for, the anatomy of natural lips, artistic vision, and technical ability.

Restylane Kysse Procedure

TREATMENT OVERVIEW

First, you will meet with Dr. Anita to share your concerns and discuss the results that you hope to achieve. This will be followed by a facial analysis. Dr. Anita will then go over the risks and activity restrictions, and give you time to ask questions.

Prior to the treatment, you will fill out consent forms and have topical numbing cream applied to the treatment area. Laughing gas may also be offered. The skin will be cleansed, cooled with gel ice packs, and prepped for injection.

Dr. Anita will then apply injections in precise amounts and locations to achieve treatment goals. Pre- and post- treatment photos are taken to highlight results.

Time in Office

45 minutes.

Anesthesia

Anesthesia

Topical numbing and/or laughing gas (dental blocks also available)

Social Downtime

There is typically no downtime following lip filler injections, however, patients may experience some bruising or swelling. This generally lasts a couple of days.

Post Treatment Instructions

In general, patients are advised to avoid anything that puts pressure or stretch on treated areas for 48-72 hours. Patients should not exercise, use steam rooms or saunas, or sleep directly on the injected areas for at least 48 hours. Patients should also avoid using straws and getting dental work, massages, or facials for a few days.

Please Note: These are general estimates that may or may not apply to you individually.

AT THE CLINIC

During your consultation, Dr. Anita will take time to learn about your concerns and lip goals, create a custom treatment plan, and discuss the treatment in detail. She will go through your medical history and make sure you are a good candidate for treatment.

THE TREATMENT

The treatment begins with an assessment and custom plan. Topical numbing is applied, the treatment area is cleansed, iced, and then the treatment begins. The injections themselves take less than 15 minutes. If laughing gas is desired, this is taken just before injections begin, and as needed during treatment. Pre- and post- treatment photos are taken.

POST-TREATMENT

Post-injection instructions and precautions are provided, and a 2-week follow-up visit is scheduled for overall assessment and touch-up if advised.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are lip fillers made of?

Lip fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occuring substance in the tissues. There are different formulations available, and each one has specific unique qualities that make it best suited for achieving specific results.

How do lip injections work?

Depending on how, where, and how much filler is placed, lip injections can create shape and definition, provide fullness, and enhance lip beauty and proportions. Done poorly, lip injections can distort natural anatomy and create disharmony between the facial features.

Are lip fillers permanent?

Lip fillers commonly used at present are not permanent, and can be dissolved if desired.

How long do lip fillers last?

Lip fillers typically last 6-12 months, depending on product chosen and individual rate of metabolism.

What happens to lip injections over time?

Over time, the body metabolizes the product. If too much is injected at once, there can be spread of product to adjacent tissues, producing a thickened upper lip appearance, for example.

Are lip fillers safe?

Lip fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, which is naturally produced in the body. Because of this, lip fillers are generally safe. The main risks are related to the injection itself, rather than the filler product.

Are lip fillers vegan?

Current day fillers are mainly hyaluronic acid based, and not derived from animals or animal products.

Do lip injections hurt?

The lips are a fairly sensitive area. Topical numbing makes the procedure more comfortable, as does icing the surface before injection. Laughing gas is also an option to help alleviate pain and anxiety.
