Lip Filler - Before & After Resultsat Grey Aesthetics

Swelling is usually most noticeable in the first 24 to 48 hours, then eases over the following days. Minor swelling, redness, or bruising can last up to about 72 hours, most people look close to normal within a week, and lips are typically fully settled by about two weeks.

Swelling is usually most noticeable in the first 24 to 48 hours and eases over the following days. Minor swelling, redness, or bruising can last up to about 72 hours, and most people look and feel close to normal within a week. Lips are typically fully settled by about two weeks.

For many people the lips look their fullest on day 1 or day 2 and improve from there. Swelling that gets worse after the first couple of days, instead of easing, is worth a call to our office.

You will see a change right away, but swelling can hide your real result. Most lips look settled around the two-week mark, which is the best time to judge the outcome.

Lip enhancement often requires 0.5 to 1 syringe. Half a syringe suits soft refinement and first-timers, while a full syringe gives a more visible change in volume. Your injector will recommend an amount after assessing your lips and facial structure, and you can always add more later.

Half a syringe adds subtle volume and softens lines, often with little visible sign that anything was done beyond a natural, hydrated look.

A full syringe gives more noticeable volume and shape than half a syringe, while still following your natural lip line. Most first-time patients see enough change with 0.5 to 1 syringe to judge whether they want more.

For thin lips, filler adds volume gradually across the lip and can define the border for more visible shape. Building up over more than one appointment often looks more natural than a single large-volume treatment.

A subtle result keeps your natural lip shape and simply adds hydration and softness, without changing the overall proportions of your face.

Small amounts of filler placed at the cupid's bow can sharpen its definition and give the upper lip a more lifted look, often paired with filler elsewhere in the lip for balance.

Restylane Kysse typically lasts about 6 to 12 months, and Restylane Silk about 6 months. Longevity varies with your metabolism, the amount used, and how much your lips move.

Our approach is natural, not overfilled. Restylane Kysse is designed for lip augmentation with flexible movement when you smile and speak, so it should not look stiff. Your injector plans the result around your proportions.

Minor swelling, redness, or bruising may occur for 24 to 72 hours, particularly around the lips. Most people return to normal activities the same day.

Providers generally recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and alcohol for about 24 hours because they can increase swelling and bruising. We will give you instructions specific to your visit.

Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which makes lip filler reversible. If you are unhappy with a result from any provider, talk to us about your options.

A lip flip uses a small amount of neuromodulator such as Botox to relax the muscle so the upper lip curls slightly outward. Filler adds volume and shape. Some patients combine the two, and we will advise what suits you at your consultation.
