Renew your lips naturally with skillfully applied injections
Thin lips can detract from the beautiful balance and proportion of your face. They can also betray your age, as structural supports within the lip tissues may become eroded. You may notice that your lips are no longer as defined as they once were and that lines and creases are more prominent than ever before. So, we at New U Women’s Clinic and Aesthetics in Kennewick, Washington, prioritize lip enhancement with fillers and other types of products, knowing what a powerful feature and attribute this part of the face can be at conveying our personal “brand” to the world. Tri-Cities area patients also appreciate that, with our team’s considerable skill and experience, their results look like a renewed version of themselves, not like somebody else or like their treated lips “belong on a duck.” Yes, no duck pouts here!
How do lip fillers work?
Unlike other fillers, these products are introduced to the deflated tissues of or around the pout via small syringes. Once injected precisely into the treatment sites, they give an instant volume boost and soften creases.
So, injections are not just to make my lips look bigger?
Yes, that’s right. Lip injections are more versatile than you may think. In addition to boosting a pout that was always a little too small or that has deflated over time, our providers can apply filler to:
- Correct imbalanced or uneven lips
- Lift saggy corners of the mouth
- Add definition to the Cupid’s bow at the center of the upper lip
- Restore definition to the lip’s borders
- Soften lines that the likes of smoking or the effects of chronic sun damage may cause
Do I need to prepare for treatment?
All treatments at our office in Kennewick, WA, have special considerations, however minimal they may be. For lip injections, we may advise that you stop taking NSAIDs (like ibuprofen) in the days leading up to your appointment. It’s also recommended to refrain from drinking alcohol in preparation for your treatment. Any products or medications that may be avoided are largely associated with a risk of adverse side effects like swelling and bruising. So, be sure to follow any instructions tailored to your needs.
Will the injections hurt?
Our priority is to ensure the best possible experience at every step of the treatment process. While the lips can be a particularly sensitive area, we use special products such as topical numbing creams to ensure treatment is not painful. Some of our fillers are also formulated with lidocaine to support your comfort. It’s not unusual to experience a little tenderness in the days following treatment, which can be managed by applying a cold compress or ice pack.
Are the results immediate?
Yes! This is a great instant gratification treatment, with one caveat: Your lips may be slightly swollen after treatment. They may look bigger than you wanted. This is normal as your lips heal and is not an unusual response to injections. You will be able to see your beautifully yet naturally defined and enhanced lips in seven to 10 days once the swelling has gone down. Depending on the filler used and your body’s response, these results “stick around” for six to 15 months.
