Thus, the ever-important next step: the follow-up. According to Wheeler, many patients, myself included, naturally have asymmetrical lips and one side of the top or bottom might be larger or longer.
Interestingly, filler can be used to address these asymmetries, but it can also make them more noticeable. This is often called a 'lip flip' and pairs beautifully with lip injections.
Sometimes even when we try to correct it with filler your lips will still show the asymmetry. Also, it was less noticeable when your upper lip was thinner but slightly more noticeable when we plumped it with filler. Since your lips were asymmetric with movement, we used a little Botox to decrease the movement of your upper lip or relax it which also results in a slightly fuller upper lip when you smile.
Anyone who's wondered about lip injections likely thought to themselves, "How much are lip fillers? However, some people might want a fuller look—which requires an additional syringe and again, more expensive areas like NYC and LA will jack these prices up a bit higher.

I Accept Show Purposes. Makeup Face. By Erin Jahns. Erin Jahns. This reduces blood flow to the lip. The first step to getting a lip filler procedure involves scheduling an appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
According to Dr. Rajagopal, lip fillers — particularly hyaluronic acid fillers — are safe products. So as long as you choose an expert, you should feel secure with your treatment. The doctor will apply a topical anesthetic to your lips. Your doctor may use a needle to inject small amounts of anesthetic on the inside of your mouth to numb the top and bottom lips. At this point in the procedure, you might feel a slight prick when the needle touches your mouth. When your lips are numb enough, your doctor will inject the filler directly into your lips.
Some people say this can make your chin and cheeks feel cool. When the filler is inside your lips, you might feel some mild stinging. You can expect some swelling in your lips after the procedure.
You may also notice some small red spots where the needles were injected into your lips. Bruising around the lips is another common side effect, which may last about a week. Your lips might feel different after the procedure due to the presence of the filler. Tori said it felt hard for her to smile for a day or two, because her lips were a little sore.
Your plastic surgeon will instruct you not to purse your lips for about two days. Lip wrinkles, or lip lines, are common in older adults — but you have options. Here are some treatments available to kick those lip wrinkles to the…. The mucus from snails has been a popular cosmetic product overseas for a while, but now US consumers are latching on to the creams and lotions. A closed rhinoplasty is a type of cosmetic surgery to change the appearance of the nose. It's less invasive than an open rhinoplasty.
A bullhorn lip lift is a type of cosmetic surgery that involves making the lips appear fuller without filler. I wasn't given a test sample of the filler to see if I would have a reaction, and though I didn't see the needle sterilized in front of me, Gabby brought this out from the back ready to go and both she and her assistant wore gloves for the procedure.
During this time you aren't supposed to talk really, because the numbing cream can get in your mouth and numb your tongue, but that's exactly what I did. Around this point, reality set in and I realized I was about to have a needle put into my lips. My nervous energy made me talk a lot, which in turn made my tongue go numb and feel like it was taking up all the space in my mouth. This was not helpful in calming me down and eventually I walked around to try to get my mind off the procedure.
Twenty minutes later, my lips were fully numb and I was able to speak again without my tongue feeling like a rock in my mouth. I went behind a curtain with Gabby and her assistant, Sophie Kokoska, as they prepped. One large deep breath later and the needle was inside my face. I was surprised at how Gabby truly molded my lips with the needle. I imagined the procedure to be four insertions, two injections on the top and two on the bottom, but in actuality I lost count of how many times Gabby went into my lips to make sure they were the shape and volume we were trying to achieve.
To distract from the needle, she used a small vibrator on my face to give me something to focus on. Even with the level of care and precision Gabby used, the procedure only took 15 to 20 minutes.
Immediately after, I still couldn't feel my lips but they looked swollen and the area surrounding them was redder than usual.
The train ride home was spent with the ice pack stuck to my lips. Gabby told me that as soon as I woke up the next morning my lips would be the most swollen they would get. They definitely were swollen, there was already bruising, and they were very sore and tender when I touched them.
This day was spent icing and repeatedly applying lip balm.
