Introduction
Introduction to Lip Fillers
When genetics or aging has left you with deflated, thinning lips, injectable fillers can help restore your vibrant smile and boost your self-confidence. Lip fillers are formulated with hyaluronic acid, a biocompatible compound that enhances skin hydration and suppleness. Our precision-oriented practitioners at Facial Aesthetic Concepts in San Clemente, Aliso Viejo, and Rancho Santa Margarita (Orange County), CA, focus on nuanced, subtle results that accentuate your timeless beauty without making you look unnatural.
What Are Lip Fillers?
Lips fillers are non-invasive injectable gels that contain hyaluronic acid (HA), a compound found naturally in the human body. HA can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, making it the ideal ingredient for plumping age-depleted lips. Lip fillers engineered with HA can not only augment volume but can also smooth away vertical lip lines, improve lip symmetry, correct loss of lip border definition, and sharpen the Cupid’s bow. Treatment typically takes around 30 minutes, and results can last from 6 to 12 months.

Lip Fillers first step
What’s the First Step?
As a first step, you will meet with our friendly, knowledgeable providers in San Clemente, Aliso Viejo, or Rancho Santa Margarita for a private consultation. During this meeting, we will listen to your concerns about your lips and strive to understand your unique aesthetic sensibilities so we can curate the ideal treatment plan for you. We will also examine your lips and medical history to ensure your treatment is safe and effective.
Once your candidacy is confirmed and your treatment date is set, you will need to follow a few guidelines prior to your appointment:
- Postpone alcoholic drinks
- Discontinue blood-thinning medications
- Schedule your treatment in advance of important events
- Take Tylenol prior to your session to reduce discomfort
- Avoid wearing makeup on the day of your treatment
What to Expect on the Day of Lip Filler Treatment
On the day of your lip filler treatment, your lips will be coated with a topical anesthetic to ensure that your injections do not cause any discomfort. The specific injection points will be mapped out according to your customized treatment plan, enhancing the precision of your outcome. Your lip filler will then be artfully administered to create a more feminine and alluring smile. The total treatment time is around 20-30 minutes.
Lip Filler Recovery
After lip fillers, there is no downtime or recovery to contend with. You will be free to resume your normal activities, whether by resuming work, going back to school, or proceeding to enjoy your day. Minor side effects may be present, including swelling, bruising, and tenderness; these symptoms can last up to one week. Small bumps may arise as well and last up to a month. For the first 6 hours after your session, avoid placing any pressure on the lips or mouth and refrain from engaging in strenuous exercise. You can use ice or a simple Arnica cream to soothe sore lips. Make sure to avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours.
