Enhance Your Lips with Natural Lip Filler in NYC

Initial results are immediate, but full results appear within 3–7 days after swelling subsides.

Apply cold compresses, avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours, and follow all aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Jaliman.

Wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup near the injection area to prevent irritation or infection.

This precise method uses small amounts of filler for better control and natural-looking results. Dr. Jaliman specializes in this advanced technique.

Yes. Botox can enhance the upper lip’s appearance and is often used in combination for refined results.

Results depend on the injector’s technique and the amount of filler used. A skilled injector like Dr. Debra Jaliman can create subtle, natural-looking lips rather than an overfilled appearance.

Most people like the fullness and increased size of their new lips and smile. It also enhances their eyes. Occasionally, someone wants the filler removed. Lip augmentations can be reversed with hyaluronidase solution, an enzyme that breaks down the filler substance, which is made of hyaluronic acid. If you have lumps or bumps from incorrectly placed lip filler, hyaluronidase can help smooth and correct the area. A numbing cream can be used before these injections which are done with tiny needles.

Yes, she does do this technique along with many others, which is a natural lip technique enhancing the Cupid's bow. The filler is placed vertically starting from the edge of the lip in small amounts. It creates a lifted profile instead of a protruding one. In one session, the natural contour of the lip can be defined using tiny needles.

Sometimes, individuals come because their natural lips are asymmetric, or they have had filler material injected at a clinic, and the doctor who did the lip filler treatment did not put it in the proper location and caused lumps. These are good candidates for us to change by placing the filler in the precise location so that lip symmetry can be attained. These are all signs of a treatment gone wrong.

The muscles and tissues above the lips when contracting can also cause vertical lip lines. These can be filled with hylauronic acid. Wrinkles above the lip or around the mouth can be treated at the same time. The number of syringes required may vary depending on the type of hyaluronic acid filler used. If Restylane Silk is utilized, it is possible to use the same syringe for both the lip lines and lip filling. However, with a thicker filler, it may be necessary to use additional syringes. Many women opt to fill these "smokers' lines" as they perceive them to be aging and find that lipstick can settle into the lines. These lines are typically caused by repetitive pursing of the lips, the frequent use of a straw, or smoking.

Yes. There is a technique called the lip flip. After numbing cream is applied, Botox is injected into the top lip. This technique relaxes your top lip muscle, giving you the appearance of a fuller lip without actually adding more volume.

Most patients notice that the plumpness from the lip filler lasts about 6 to 8 months. To maintain consistent results, we sometimes add just half a syringe of filler instead of rejecting the entire lip. Those who prefer more plumpness and a fuller lip may choose to get a full syringe injected each time.

The lips unfortunately get thinner as you age, and the lips do lose volume. This can be corrected with lip filler. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is the most popular choice. Injected into the lips at the perfect injection site makes a real difference as it increases the volume, restores volume loss, and improves the lip border. Skilled injectors can add filler to the corners of the mouth as well to lift the sides of the mouth and give an overall more youthful impression.

However, determining who is the best candidate for lip augmentation procedures involves looking at multiple factors. It is important for doctors to look at the features of each face, cheeks, and chin, the degree of volume loss, and the patients' age. It is also important to discuss the aesthetic goals with the patient to determine how full they want their lips to be and their expectations.

If you do not want lip injections, there are other ways to get a fuller pout. Some women are very content with this temporary option, which is a lip plumper, and give them good reviews. They buy over-the-counter lip plumpers. These are lip glosses that temporarily make your lips appear fuller. Some even add color to the lips as well. They contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid and squalane to hydrate the lips. They also may contain peptides to stimulate collagen production. Some have antioxidants like vitamin E. Other products may contain something to irritate the skin of the lips to cause them to swell and become inflamed. These ingredients include cinnamon, cayenne, peppermint, capsicum resin, menthol and also bee venom (don't use it if you are allergic to bees). It's important to check the ingredient list carefully. Some of these ingredients can make lips dry or be irritating and cause allergic reactions, so I do not recommend them to people with sensitive types of skin.

Acne scars can often be filled with the same hyaluronic acid-based fillers as used for lip fillers. To smooth out depressions and improve the appearance of acne scars, hyaluronic acid can be injected below the surface of the skin to lift it. These injections are often used with other modalities for acne scar treatment, like the Fraxel laser.
