What is Lip Filler?
Lip filler uses a hyaluronic-acid gel — a substance your body already produces — to add volume, shape, or symmetry to the lips. It's injected in small, controlled amounts across a short appointment.
Most first-time patients start with a half syringe to a full syringe, added gradually so the result can be assessed as you go rather than committed to all at once.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are also reversible: if the result isn't right, the same enzyme used in emergencies can dissolve it, which is part of why they're a common starting point for patients new to injectables.
Good Candidates
- •Patients wanting more volume, definition, or symmetry in the lips
- •Anyone who wants a reversible, adjustable way to try volume before committing further
- •Patients preparing for an event who plan ahead for 2-3 days of visible swelling
Not a Good Candidate
- •Anyone with an active cold sore or infection near the mouth at the time of treatment
- •Patients pregnant or breastfeeding
- •Anyone expecting an immediately final result on day one — true shape settles over about two weeks

Your Appointment Timeline
Consultation
Dana discusses your goals and recommends a starting volume — usually half to one full syringe for first-time patients.
Numbing
Topical numbing cream is applied and given time to take effect before any injections.
Injection
Filler is placed in small, controlled amounts, with pauses to check shape and symmetry against your goals.
Ice and aftercare
Ice is applied to reduce swelling and you'll leave with written aftercare instructions.
Two-week check-in
Swelling fully resolves and true shape settles by around two weeks; a follow-up is offered if any adjustment is wanted.
Treatment Pricing
Additional syringes are priced the same; most first-time patients need one.
