Learn About Lip Fillers

What are Lip Fillers?

Lip Fillers can be incredibly simple; a little can go a long way in having your colleagues or friends notice you’ve upgraded your look but still perhaps can’t put their finger on it. Lip Fillers in Monmouth County, NJ are made with hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally produced within the body that attracts moisture and holds up to 1000 times its own weight. You may even have noticed Hyaluronic Acid in serums, creams, and moisturizers to hydrate the skin and plump fine lines. This is what makes it the ideal ingredient for lip fillers. When Dr. Sanna Kalika injects your lips with hyaluronic acid, you’ll immediately see a plumper, fuller, gorgeous mouth. Hyaluronic acid may even contribute to faster wound healing; this varies with our patients.

When it comes to our Lip Fillers, Restylane and Juvederm make the most popular and widely FDA-approved products. Below is a list of the many types of fillers that could work best for you.

Restylane:

L: Contains lidocaine to help make the injection process more relaxed and soothe the lips. This filler is not overly thick or thin and cost-effective.
Lyft: Explicitly designed to add fullness. Lyft can plump your lips and give you the billboard results you’ve desired.
Defyne: This product enhances your lip movements with a thicker formula, allowing for more picturesque results.
Silk: Restylane-Silk uses fewer particles, allowing a more naturalistic plump.
Refyne: Very adaptable to movement, making this a comfortable and realistic-looking option.

Juvederm:

Ultra: The premier option for Juvederm that can last up to a year and provides smooth, prominent results.
Ultra Plus: A thicker formula of Juvederm Ultra. Ultra Plus may be better for those who want dramatic results that offer cover photo effects.

Volbella:

Correct wrinkles on the lips, which are often difficult to eliminate without fillers or similar cosmetic procedures. Dr. Sanna Kalika will determine the best method and most appropriate step forward for your lip style and filler choice in consultation.

What to Expect on the Day of Lip Fillers

We are happy to provide complimentary Visia 3-D Skin Assessments during consultations by using top-of-the-line technology from the Canfield. Following your treatment, we will provide another scan to asses improvements. On the day of your Lip Filler, we aim to assist in maximizing your comfort and clarity. The entire process should only take about 30 minutes; this varies with each patient. It begins applying a topical numbing cream on your lips to eliminate any chance of pain; this helps ensure you relax during the actual injections. We will then use a very thin needle to inject the chosen filler into specific areas of your lips; this could take place on the edges of your lips (vermillion border), the curve in the center of your upper lip (Cupid’s bow), and your oral commissures (corners of your mouth).

After we complete the injections, an icepack may be used to eliminate the minor swelling that may occur. A technician may also gently massage your lips so that they absorb the filler better, and additional filler is then added as needed.

The entire treatment process can take anywhere from a few minutes up to an hour.

Lip Fillers Recovery

When we finish your injections, the recovery immediately beings. Amidst the excitement of the new “you,” we monitor the lips for about 15 minutes to ensure you don’t have any allergic or adverse reactions to the filler. After this short window of time, you’re free to head out and seize the world with your new look. While you shouldn’t feel tired or groggy from the treatment, you may want to consider having a family member or friend drive you home.

To get the most out of your treatment, we recommend:

Drink plenty of water
Avoid exercising for at least 24 hours
Refrain from touching or puckering your lips, this does include kissing or using a straw
Use an ice pack for about 10 minutes at a time to reduce inflammation
Avoid wearing anything on your lips (lip balm, lipstick, etc.) for the next 24 hours
Be careful when brushing your teeth
