Lip fillers use hyaluronic acid, a substance your body already makes, to add volume, shape and definition to the lips. Products such as Juvederm and Restylane are placed with fine injections into the body of the lip, along the border or at the corners, binding moisture for a soft, hydrated feel that moves naturally when you talk and smile.
They help with thin or aging lips, uneven shape, a faded border and fine vertical lines above the mouth. At our Merrick office, your injector studies your lip proportions and overall facial balance, then chooses the product and amount for your goal, whether that is a whisper of hydration or a fuller, more defined pout.

What to Expect
We begin by talking through the look you want, often with photos, and examining your lip shape and facial proportions. Numbing cream is applied for comfort before your injector places small amounts of filler, checking symmetry as they go. Swelling, tenderness or small bruises are common for one to three days, and cool compresses help. Skip strenuous workouts for a day, and come back in about two weeks so we can review the settled result.
