Lip injections, or lip filler, are a type of cosmetic injectable used to give volume and lift to the lips, or to help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth. This can be done to enhance the natural look of youthful lips, or to restore volume to lips that may have lost some of their plumpness and pout over time. There are a number of different products that can be used for this procedure depending on your ultimate lip goals. These products last anywhere from 9-18 months and provide different levels of “plumpness.” The differences will be discussed in detail during your consultation.
Maintaining a natural look is key; when lip filler in Walnut Creek is done properly, there won’t be any sign of “duck lips.”
The procedure involves marking anatomic landmarks with a removable pencil to ensure perfect use of the product. The actual injection portion of the procedure lasts 10-20 minutes. Massaging is performed to make sure that the product is smooth and properly distributed.
