What Is Lip Augmentation?

As the body ages, its natural reserves of hyaluronic acid, elastin, and collagen gradually decline. These vital proteins are responsible for suppleness, radiance, and hydration in the skin. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, lip fillers provide an instant boost in volume and fullness that leads to enhanced confidence. Our practitioners at Ocean Plastic Surgery understand the axiom that “less is more” and focus on subtle results that reverse deflation and signs of aging. If you are looking to restore a beautiful, elegant smile, lip fillers in Ocean County, Toms River, & Stafford Township may be the perfect treatment choice for you.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Lip Fillers?

Patients should also be free from chronic cold sores. Lip fillers are approved for those over 18 years old who are unhappy with thin lips, asymmetry, and loss of lip definition. As with all aesthetic treatments, it is essential that patients have realistic expectations for their results.

How Are Lip Injections Performed?

While many lip fillers are formulated with built-in lidocaine, a numbing agent, our providers will apply a topical anesthetic to further enhance your comfort and peace of mind during your session. Once your injection points are strategically mapped out according to your unique treatment plan, your provider will administer lip fillers to create a more sultry, feminine pout. Dr. Small and his team are careful not to over-inject your lips but to add just enough product that your smile looks naturally full and vibrant.

There is no downtime or recovery after lip fillers. This is one of their most popular advantages. Busy, active patients can immediately resume their normal schedules, whether it means going back to work, school, shopping, or just enjoying the day. Patients may encounter minor swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection sites. Rest assured, these side effects typically resolve within 12 to 24 hours. For several days after your lip filler session in Ocean County, you should steer clear of alcohol, direct contact with the sun, strenuous exercise, smoking, cosmetics, and using a straw to drink with.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Results with lip fillers typically persist for around 6-12 months. Once you notice the effects of your treatment are wearing off, you can schedule a follow-up session with Dr. Small in Ocean County to restore a youthful, vibrant smile.

Can I Smoke After Undergoing Lip Injections?

Smoking can dry out the skin and lead to premature aging, which is why it is not a recommended activity after investing in lip injections.

When Can I Wear Lip Products Again?

You can wear lipstick, lip gloss, and lip balm right away after your sessions. However, your lips may be slightly sore at the injection sites.

Can You Drink Alcohol After Lip Fillers?

Consuming alcoholic beverages can lead to enlarged blood vessels and bruising in the lips. If redness is a concern for you, avoid alcoholic drinks for at least 1-2 days after your appointment.

Do Lip Injections Hurt?

Lip fillers are formulated with built-in lidocaine, and your skin will be numbed with a topical anesthetic prior to your session. This means that the treatment process is virtually painless. After your appointment, you may feel mild tenderness in the targeted areas, but this sensation fades quickly.

Are Lip Fillers Vegan?

Lip fillers formulated by Juvéderm are known to be vegan. However, other fillers sometimes use hyaluronic acid that is derived from animal sources, so if you are vegan, it is a good idea to discuss your treatment options with Dr. Small prior to undergoing lip injections.
