Lip Fillers: Initial Consultation
During your initial consultation for lip fillers, you’ll discuss your goals and expectations with your provider at Ethos Aesthetics + Wellness.
This is a crucial step as it allows the dermatology expert to understand your desired outcome and tailor the injectable filler treatment to your specific needs.
Your provider will evaluate your lips and facial structure, discussing the appropriate type and amount of filler needed to achieve the desired results. This personalized approach ensures that the treatment aligns with your expectations and natural facial features.
We will address any concerns or questions you may have, creating a comfortable and informed environment for the patient. At Ethos Aesthetics + Wellness, patient satisfaction and safety are paramount, and the initial consultation sets the stage for a successful lip filler experience.
Numbing and Anesthesia Application
Once the initial consultation has been completed, your provider at Ethos Aesthetics + Wellness will skillfully apply a topical or local anesthetic to numb your lips in preparation for the lip filler procedure. This ensures your comfort during the process.
The use of lidocaine in the anesthesia minimizes any discomfort, making the experience more pleasant for you. As the hyaluronic acid filler is injected with a hypodermic needle, the anesthesia helps in reducing any potential pain or sensitivity.
The application of anesthesia not only ensures a comfortable experience but also reflects our commitment to your well-being and satisfaction.
- The application of anesthesia guarantees a pain-free and comfortable procedure, prioritizing your comfort and peace of mind.
- The use of lidocaine ensures minimal discomfort, allowing you to relax and feel at ease during the lip filler process.
Injection Process and Immediate Results
As your provider at Ethos Aesthetics + Wellness begins the injection process for your lip fillers, small amounts of dermal filler will be carefully and precisely injected into your lips using a very fine needle. The injection medicine, often containing hyaluronic acid or collagen, is strategically placed in a fanning motion to enhance the natural shape and volume of your lips.
This process may involve brands like Restylane, known for its effectiveness in lip augmentation. Immediate results, including added fullness and definition, will be noticeable. However, it’s common to experience some swelling and bruising at the injection sites.
Over the next 1-2 weeks, as the swelling subsides, the final shape and size of your lips will become more apparent. This injection process typically takes about 30 minutes, providing you with immediate enhancement.

- Immediate Care

Types and Brands of Lip Fillers
When considering lip fillers, it’s important to discuss the types and brands available with your provider at Ethos Aesthetics + Wellness.
Lip fillers, a minimally invasive procedure, primarily use synthetic hyaluronic acid (HA) to add volume to the lips.
Some popular brands of lip fillers include Juvederm®, Restylane®, and Perlane®.
These fillers are commonly used to restore lip size, correct lip shape, smooth wrinkles, and enhance confidence.
Lip fillers can help delay the need for more invasive surgical procedures, making them a desirable option for those seeking a subtle enhancement.
It’s noteworthy that lip fillers are reversible with hyaluronidase enzyme, offering an added layer of safety and flexibility.
When seeking lip fillers, it’s crucial to consult experienced healthcare providers like those at Ethos Aesthetics + Wellness to ensure optimal results and minimize potential risks associated with the procedure.
Ideal Candidates for Lip Fillers
To qualify for lip fillers, you should be in good health and have realistic expectations about the results. Ideal candidates for lip fillers should consider the following:
- Emotional Benefits Increased confidence and self-esteem from enhanced lips Feeling more attractive and youthful
- Physical Considerations Improved lip symmetry and fullness Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth
When considering lip fillers, it’s essential to prioritize your physical and mental well-being, ensuring that you’re prepared for the procedure. Remember to consult with a qualified physician to assess your skin, blood, and overall health before moving forward.
Benefits and Risks of Lip Fillers
Considering lip fillers, you must weigh the benefits and risks to make an informed decision about enhancing your lips.
The benefits of lip fillers include a boost in self-esteem and the ability to reverse the procedure using hyaluronidase enzyme if needed.
On the other hand, risks involve bruising, swelling, and the potential for pain. There’s also a risk of cold sore reactivation, infection, tissue death, asymmetry, and filler migration.
It’s essential to note that seeking lip fillers from experienced healthcare providers and avoiding beauty salons or spas can minimize these risks.
Despite these risks, the safety and temporary nature of lip fillers make them a popular choice for enhancing lip size and shape.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Upon arriving for your appointment, you’ll undergo a consultation to discuss your goals and determine the appropriate amount of filler needed for your desired look.
The lips will be anesthetized and cleansed with alcohol before the filler is injected with a tiny needle into the areas that need volume.
The material is then gently massaged to prevent the formation of lumps.
Each patient’s needs are dictated by their anatomy and desired look, with a maximum of one milliliter of filler being injected during a session.
The entire process typically takes about 30 minutes.
