Lip Filler 101
Lip Fillers FAQ: Your complete guide to lip filler by Derma Noor Medical Spa in Garden Grove!
Lip augmentation is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that can temporarily add volume and fullness to thin lips. Depending on your lip goals, lip filler treatments may also be used to fill lip lines or add more symmetry to your lips.
What are lip injections made of?
Lip fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a natural structural component of your skin and soft tissue. This naturally occurring substance provides immediate hydration to the lips by filling fine lines and wrinkles while restoring volume to the lips!
How long do lip fillers last?
Most cosmetic lip fillers may last from 6 months to a year — it all depends on your metabolism! We recommend additional touch-ups every 3 to 6 months for patients who want to maintain and/or achieve more plumpness in their lips.
What does it cost for lip filler treatments?
Lip augmentation is generally priced by syringe and the number of syringes needed to achieve your desired results. Check our service menu for prices.
What is the best lip filler?
How to choose the best lip filler: Our medical spa offers a variety of lip filler options including Juvederm, Restylane, Versa, Radiesse, or Bellafill. These are all made from hyaluronic acid but differ in thickness and results. Your injector will assess your facial structure and discuss your lip goals during your consultation in order to recommend the best lip filler choice for you!
Do lip fillers hurt?
Generally no! Lip injections are more or less pain-free. Lips are definitely the most sensitive area to inject, but with the use of topical numbing cream and/or dental block, lip injections do not hurt.
What should I expect during my filler procedure?
Topical numbing is applied 10-20 minutes to your lips, this minimizes any discomfort and pain. The whole lip injection treatment takes approximately 30 minutes!
What is the downtime after a lip filler procedure?
Lip filler requires little to no downtime. There is often some swelling, bruising, redness, and soreness, immediately post-procedure for several days. Your lip filler results are complete after 2 weeks from your initial lip augmentation appointment. Recovery time varies for each patient and for each type of dermal filler injected.

Do I need to follow up after my filler procedure?
YES. It takes up to 2 weeks in order to see your final results and assess your response to treatment. The injector may determine if you need any touch-ups, adjustments, or additional filler is needed.
