Lip Fillers, Lip Augmentation & Lip Injections

The popularity of the perfect pout has increased thanks to influencers and celebrities openly sharing their experiences with lip fillers across various social media platforms. Many people are naturally born with thin or asymmetrical lips. Older individuals also experience age-related loss of volume and collagen, leading to a less full appearance and the formation of fine lines around the lips. In the past, patients often considered plastic surgery for lip augmentation, which was costly and involved significant side effects and long recovery periods. However, with the rise of injectable dermal fillers and Botox, achieving beautiful, natural-looking lip enhancements with minimal downtime has become more accessible than ever. Dr. Green is a skilled injector in NYC with over 25 years of experience performing lip augmentation procedures to create hydrated, soft, kissable, and plump lips.

The two most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedures for lip enhancement are dermal fillers and Botox. Fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, and Belotero use hyaluronic acid to restore lost volume and make lips look fuller and plumper. Botox injections work by relaxing the muscles in the upper lip, causing the lip to flip outward and creating a more voluminous appearance. These procedures have minimal side effects and almost no downtime, transforming cosmetic dermatology and reducing the need for many invasive surgeries. Whether it’s replacing lost volume with dermal fillers for thinner lips, reducing fine lines around the mouth, or simply enhancing the natural, fuller shape of the lips, Dr. Green is here to help.

Dr. Michele Green is a world-famous, board-certified cosmetic dermatologist with over 25 years of experience in non-invasive cosmetic procedures, including dermal fillers and Botox. She specializes in lip fillers and is known as the “lip queen” for her natural-looking, expertly performed lip enhancements. Her “less is more” approach to cosmetic injections with dermal fillers has earned her consistent recognition as one of New York’s top cosmetic dermatologists by Castle Connolly, Super Doctors, New York Magazine, and The New York Times. When you work with Dr. Green, you can trust that she has the experience and skill to deliver beautiful, natural-looking results.

What is lip filler augmentation?

Lip augmentation has become a highly popular cosmetic procedure worldwide, mainly influenced by social media and evolving beauty trends. In former times, lip enhancement mostly involved surgical methods like lip implants or fat grafts. These procedures can cause side effects, scarring, and longer recovery periods. Today, the most common lip augmentation options are non-invasive, with minimal downtime and few side effects.

Lip augmentation involves injecting a lip filler into the lips to add volume. The treatments include various techniques that can improve aspects such as shape, structure, volume, the Cupid’s bow, and the lines around the lips. These lines may result from aging, volume loss, smoking, or sun damage. Lip augmentation can enhance symmetry and improve overall facial harmony.

Dermal filler treatments are non-surgical and usually consist of hyaluronic acid, which is injected to add volume, definition, and fullness. Botox can also be used in specific muscles to “flip the lip” and create a fuller pout. Those seeking a more dramatic look, thin lips, or volume loss due to aging can benefit from lip augmentation. Dr. Michele Green is an expert in lip injections. She evaluates each patient’s lip shape, volume loss, and facial features to determine the best filler. After a consultation at her Upper East Side office in New York City, she discusses the most suitable treatment options for your lips.

What are lip fillers?

Lip fillers are dermal treatments specifically made to enhance lip volume and definition, resulting in a fuller, more attractive pout. They are typically made with hyaluronic acid, a natural humectant that adds moisture and a youthful appearance to the skin. When injected, hyaluronic acid attracts water molecules, making the treated area look larger. There are many different lip filler products, each with a unique concentration and arrangement of hyaluronic acid molecules to achieve a particular look. Some fillers are ideal for creating a voluminous pout, while others are better suited for a more subtle, natural appearance. An expert like Dr. Green has the experience and knowledge to recommend the best dermal filler to achieve your desired results.

Which types of dermal fillers are commonly used for lip augmentation?

Numerous dermal filler options effectively help patients achieve plump, smooth, and symmetrical lips. For those wanting a full pout, Juvederm Ultra Plus and Restylane Kysse are excellent choices to enhance lip size and shape. To reduce fine lines around the mouth, Dr. Green might recommend Restylane Silk or Belotero Balance. Patients seeking a softer, more natural appearance may prefer Juvederm Volbella. During your initial consultation, Dr. Green will discuss your goals and identify the best lip filler for you.

• Restylane— Restylane was the first filler in the Restylane family designed to restore lost volume and smooth fine lines and wrinkles in areas like the corners of the mouth, laugh lines, and tear troughs. It can also be used to increase lip volume and define the “Cupid’s bow” for a natural-looking lip enhancement—results typically last six to nine months.
• Juvederm Ultra XC— Juvederm Ultra XC is a popular hyaluronic acid filler used for significant lip enhancement. It creates a full, luscious pout and is formulated with a highly cross-linked hyaluronic acid, which makes it more resistant to breakdown and helps ensure longer-lasting results. Juvederm Ultra XC generally lasts between 9 and 12 months.
• Restylane Silk— Restylane Silk is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid filler designed for subtle lip enhancement. Its small particle size provides a very natural appearance. It is also effective at smoothing fine lines around the mouth, known as “smoker’s lines.” Restylane Silk lasts six to nine months, so most patients may require one or two treatments annually.
• Restylane Kysse— Restylane Kysse is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid filler that enhances overall lip volume, definition, and fullness, and treats fine lines around the lips. It also adds hydration, often producing a “Russian doll” effect. In addition to plumping the lips, it improves lip color and texture, making them look more luscious. Its effects generally last up to one year.
• Belotero Balance®— This hyaluronic acid filler is used to treat vertical lip lines, or “smoker’s lines,” above the lip, along with marionette lines from the mouth corners to the chin. It can also be injected into the corners of the mouth to improve a smile and prevent downturns of the mouth. Results last about six months, after which a repeat treatment may be needed.
• Juvederm Volbella— Juvederm Volbella is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid filler designed to restore lip shape and correct asymmetry. It is especially effective in treating perioral lines, which often develop from smoking or aging skin. It provides a soft, natural feel and delivers longer-lasting results, with effects lasting up to a year after injection.

Who is the best candidate for lip filler injections?

The ideal candidates for lip injections are healthy people aged 21 or older who want to improve the appearance of their lips. Patients should not be pregnant or breastfeeding, as safety has not been proven. Individuals with a history of bleeding disorders, allergic reactions, scarring, discoloration issues, or allergies to lidocaine, gram-positive bacteria, or botulinum toxin should not get lip injections. Before scheduling the procedure, Dr. Green will review your medical history carefully to see if you are a good candidate.

What is the process of having lip fillers in NYC?

With many dermal filler options available, choosing the best one can be overwhelming. During your cosmetic consultation with Dr. Michele Green at her discreet dermatology practice on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York City, Dr. Green will take the time to understand your aesthetic goals and discuss the realistic results that can be achieved. Medical photography will be taken during your consultation to track your progress over time. Once a personalized treatment plan is created for you, you can have your treatment on the same day as your consultation or schedule it for a later date, depending on your preference and schedule.

To prepare for your lip filler treatment, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements such as aspirin, fish oil, ibuprofen, Aleve, vitamin E, multivitamins, and Motrin for one week before your appointment. It is also recommended to abstain from alcohol for several days beforehand. These precautions help lower the risk of bruising. Patients prone to bruising can take Arnika Forte, a non-prescription supplement, several days before the procedure to help prevent bruising and promote healing. Patients with a history of cold sores should inform Dr. Green in advance, as she can pre-treat with Valtrex to prevent an outbreak.

On the day of your lip filler appointment, a topical anesthetic will be applied about an hour prior to your scheduled time. When you arrive at Dr. Green’s office, the area will be cleaned and prepped for the procedure. Dr. Green will then inject the lips, ensuring both the upper and lower lips are treated evenly to maintain a natural appearance. Immediately after the injections, an ice compress will be placed directly on the injection sites to reduce swelling. Dr. Green will review specific aftercare instructions related to your treatment. You can schedule a follow-up appointment with Dr. Green two weeks after your dermal filler procedure to review your results and perform any necessary touch-ups.

What are the side effects of lip filler injections?

Dermal fillers are a safe and effective treatment for lip augmentation and are not associated with many side effects. Like all injectable procedures, there is a chance of swelling, bruising, and redness at the injection site afterward. Patients can decrease the likelihood of swelling and bruising by icing the treatment area after the procedure, avoiding excessive heat for 48 hours afterward, and avoiding blood-thinning medications in the days leading up to the injections. Mild side effects should resolve within a week of treatment, without needing medical intervention such as aspirin. To reduce the risk of bruising, patients should avoid blood thinners, NSAIDs like aspirin or ibuprofen, and vitamin E for one week. Continuing Arnika Forte supplements can also help prevent and promote the healing of bruises. The risk of serious side effects, such as injecting into a blood vessel, increases when visiting an inexperienced injector, which is why patients need to research and choose an injector with the necessary experience and skill to perform their treatment safely and effectively.

What not to do after lip fillers

After getting lip filler injections, it might be tempting to return to your usual activities. However, there are several important aftercare guidelines to follow to ensure the best results. Dr. Green advises her patients who have lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid fillers to avoid aerobic exercise for at least 48 hours after their treatment. Eating after a lip filler procedure is fine, but avoid drinking beverages through a straw for 24 hours. It’s also important to avoid kissing for at least 48 hours to prevent putting too much pressure on the lips. Patients should also refrain from smoking or drinking alcohol for at least 24 hours following treatment.

How long does swelling from lip injections last?

Swelling after lip injections usually starts within a few hours and peaks within 24 to 48 hours. Using a cold compress, avoiding straws, and limiting physical activity can help reduce swelling during this time. Some patients might notice the swelling begins to decrease as early as the next day, but it can take up to two weeks for the lips to fully heal and for the final results to become visible.

How long does it take for lip fillers to settle?

It can take up to two weeks for lip fillers to settle, after which the final results will be visible. During this period, it is important to avoid aerobic exercise and heat exposure for 48 hours after injections to reduce swelling. Blood thinners like Aspirin, Aleve, and Motrin, along with vitamins, should be avoided for one week after your injections to prevent bruising and unnecessary swelling.

How long does lip filler last?

The duration of lip filler results varies based on the type of filler used and the patient’s metabolism. Lip fillers, such as Belotero, usually last only six months, while others like Restylane Kysse or Juvederm Ultra can last up to a year. To maintain the results, Dr. Green advises her patients to schedule a lip filler session once or twice a year.

Are lip fillers safe?

Yes! Lip fillers are completely safe, and the dermal fillers used for lip augmentation have been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These injectable fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that hydrates and volumizes the skin. However, an important point is that you should seek lip augmentation treatment from an experienced and board-certified cosmetic dermatologist, such as Dr. Green. Receiving treatment in a medical setting, rather than a med spa or clinic, helps ensure your procedure is safe and effective. While it might be more affordable to have your lip injections performed by someone less experienced, there’s no guarantee that safety and satisfaction will be prioritized in those settings. Using the wrong dermal filler or accidentally injecting filler into a blood vessel can happen with inexperienced injectors and result in serious side effects. During your consultation with Dr. Green, she will review your medical history to determine if you are a suitable candidate for lip fillers. She will then create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve the perfect pout safely and effectively.

Is lip filler permanent?

No, lip fillers are not permanent and usually last between six and twelve months, depending on the type of filler used. One of the main benefits of getting lip fillers is that, as our aesthetic preferences and cosmetic goals change over time, we can adjust the treatment plan to better match our evolving desires. Additionally, fillers like Juvederm and Restylane are made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that provides essential moisture and youthful firmness. Hyaluronic acid can be dissolved with Hylenex or Vitrase injections. Hyalenex is the brand name for an injectable enzyme called hyaluronidase, which can effectively dissolve hyaluronic dermal fillers, including those used for the lips, and reverse unwanted results. Hyaluronidase can be used if lip filler has been over-injected, placed incorrectly, or if a patient is dissatisfied with the results. To avoid needing to dissolve your lip filler, it’s important to choose your injector carefully. When you get injections from an experienced injector like Dr. Green in New York City, you ensure your procedure is well-planned, which can help prevent the need to dissolve your lip fillers.

Can you combine Botox with lip fillers for lip augmentation?

Absolutely! Botox is one of the most popular cosmetic treatments worldwide due to its safety and effectiveness in facial rejuvenation. Dr. Michele Green uses Botox to perform a lip flip or to reduce the appearance of a gummy smile, often combining it with dermal lip fillers to help her patients achieve the perfect pout. A Botox lip flip involves injecting Botox around the lips to create a fuller appearance. For this procedure, Botox is typically injected into the corners of the mouth, the Cupid’s bow, and the edges of the upper lip. Once injected, the muscles relax, causing the upper lip to flip outward and giving the illusion of increased lip volume.

Botox can also help improve a gummy smile, which is characterized by excess gum tissue showing above the top teeth. This condition is easily corrected with a small Botox injection into the Yonsei Point, a triangular area between the nose and upper lip where three muscles meet. Injecting a little Botox into this spot prevents the lip from lifting too high when smiling, effectively hiding the gummy smile.

The cosmetic effects of Botox typically last around four months, and patients often schedule regular treatments to maintain their results. There is generally no downtime after Botox injections. It is safest to have dermal fillers and cosmetic treatments, whether Botox or lip fillers, administered by a board-certified dermatologist like Dr. Green, who has over 25 years of experience with lip injections, helping to reduce risks and achieve beautiful results.

Lip fillers Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

What is lip filler made of?

Lip fillers contain hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the body known for attracting and retaining moisture. HA fillers are the only type approved for lip enhancement. Hyaluronic acid filler brands like Juvederm, Restylane, and Belotero provide smooth, natural-looking volume and hydration to the lips. Most HA fillers also include lidocaine to help reduce patient discomfort.

What fillers are used for lip augmentation?

Most lip fillers used for lip augmentation contain hyaluronic acid as the active ingredient, which hydrates and enlarges the lips. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts moisture. When injected into the lips, these fillers bind to water molecules, increasing volume and smoothing the skin. Common hyaluronic acid fillers for lip augmentation include Juvederm, Restylane, and Belotero.

What is the difference between getting lip filler and lip injections?

Lip filler and lip injections are two different terms for the same procedure: dermal fillers for lip enhancement. There are various reasons why someone might seek lip enhancement. For some, lip fillers are a great way to achieve full, plump lips for the perfect pout, fix asymmetry, and shape the Cupid’s bow. For others, lip injections can help counteract age-related volume loss or reduce fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth. Whatever your aesthetic goals, Dr. Green offers lip fillers tailored to meet your needs.

Are lip implants better than fillers?

A lip implant is a surgical procedure that involves making an incision and placing silicone implants beneath the skin of the lips. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, with the incision made from the corner of the mouth inward, creating a tunnel for the silicone to be inserted. Dissolvable stitches are then used to close the incision. While lip implants are a permanent option, which may appeal to some, there is a risk of forming a permanent scar at the corners of the mouth. The recovery process can be significant. After placing the silicone implants, an additional surgical procedure is often necessary to adjust or remove them, which can increase the risk of complications.

With dermal fillers, also called soft tissue fillers, patients can achieve a perfect pout with minimal downtime and low risk. Another major benefit of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers is their reversibility. Hyaluronic acid naturally breaks down over time, but it can also be dissolved if patients are unhappy with the results. Since dermal fillers are temporary, treatments usually need to be repeated once or twice a year to maintain the desired look. This allows providers to adjust the amount of filler injected as a patient’s aesthetic goals change. Thanks to their non-invasive nature, reversibility, and flexibility, most patients prefer dermal fillers for lip enhancement.

Do lip fillers hurt?

Lip augmentation with dermal fillers is a relatively painless procedure. An hour before the appointment, Dr. Green will have the patient apply a topical numbing cream, which will be cleaned off upon arrival. The dermal fillers used at Dr. Green’s office are also formulated with lidocaine, a numbing agent within the filler that enhances patient comfort during the procedure. After the injections, Dr. Green will immediately ice the treatment area to help reduce the risk of swelling and bruising.

How long does lip swelling last?

Swelling is a common side effect after lip filler injections and typically resolves within two weeks. Most patients notice the most noticeable swelling within the first 48 hours, with gradual improvement each day. While minor puffiness may last longer in some people, it is completely normal and part of the healing process. Following Dr. Green’s aftercare instructions, like sleeping with your head elevated and avoiding heat, can help speed up recovery.

How often should I get lip filler treatments?

Patients usually get lip filler injections every six, nine, or twelve months, depending on the desired volume and the type of dermal filler used. Since lip fillers only last between six and twelve months, it is important to follow a treatment schedule to maintain your desired look and cosmetic results. Dr. Green will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that helps you preserve and enhance the results of your lip fillers.

Do lip fillers go away?

Most lip fillers used by Dr. Green, such as Juvederm, Restylane, and Belotero, are made with hyaluronic acid, a substance that your body naturally breaks down over time. Since everyone metabolizes filler differently, the speed at which your results diminish can vary. If you’ve noticed your lips appearing less full than immediately after treatment, it might be time to schedule a touch-up with Dr. Green.

Can lip fillers migrate?

Although rare, filler migration can occur after receiving dermal lip fillers. Migration happens when the fillers move away from their original injection site, possibly causing lumps on your lips or along the lip line. This typically occurs when providers overfill the lips, leading the filler to spread unevenly. These lumps are painless but might cause discomfort, especially if they form inside the lips.

Another cause of migration is not following proper aftercare instructions, such as avoiding contact, not using straws, and not biting your lips. When hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are used, migration can be safely and easily reversed. HA fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, which makes the lumps disappear within two weeks. Afterward, dermal fillers can be injected again for lip enhancement. If migration occurs, Dr. Green may recommend dissolving the filler and waiting for the area to return to its pre-injection state before carefully re-injecting. Prevention is essential to avoid lip migration. To reduce this risk, it’s best to have your lip augmentation performed by a board-certified dermatologist like Dr. Michele Green, who has extensive experience with facial anatomy and lip fillers to help prevent this issue.

Do lip fillers dissolve?

Patients dissatisfied with their lip filler augmentation can have their dermal fillers dissolved. When hyaluronic acid-based lip fillers are used, they can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase. Hyaluronidase specifically targets only the filler, not your natural tissue, making it a safe and effective option. After injecting hyaluronidase into the lips, you will notice a visible reduction within 24 to 48 hours, with full results typically seen in about 2 weeks. HA fillers will also dissolve naturally over time as your body metabolizes them. However, non-hyaluronic acid fillers like Radiesse and Sculptra cannot be dissolved after injection.

Can you get lip fillers while pregnant?

Patients should avoid lip filler treatments during pregnancy or breastfeeding. No research has been conducted to assess the safety of cosmetic injectables for pregnant or nursing women. Patients can safely resume their lip augmentation treatments once they are no longer pregnant or breastfeeding.

Can you eat after lip filler injection?

Yes, you can eat after getting lip fillers. However, during the first 24 hours after the treatment, it’s best to avoid foods that put a lot of pressure on your lips. It’s also recommended to avoid using straws, as puckering or biting your lips can increase the risk of filler migration.

How long do lip fillers take to heal?

Lip fillers can take up to two weeks to fully heal. After injections, patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising, which usually resolves within two weeks. To speed up recovery, patients should avoid aerobic exercise, alcohol, and smoking for 48 hours after treatment. Those prone to bruising can take Arnika Forte, an herbal supplement, to help lessen bruising and support healing if it occurs. Additionally, sleeping with the head slightly elevated can help reduce swelling.

How much does lip filler cost?

Many patients ask, “How much do lip fillers cost?” The pricing of lip injections varies based on several factors, including your treatment goals, geographic location, the type of dermal filler used, and the institution where you receive the procedure. Usually, patients require one or two syringes to achieve their desired lip enhancement. During your initial consultation with Dr. Green, you will discuss your aesthetic goals, and Dr. Green will recommend the appropriate dermal filler and treatment plan that best suits your needs. Once your personalized plan is set, Dr. Green’s office can give you a more precise estimate of the overall treatment cost.

Before and after 1 Juvederm Ultra in Lips

How much is a syringe or 1mL of lip filler?

The cost of a syringe of lip filler varies based on several factors, including the location of the office, the type of dermal filler used, and the injector’s experience. Some patients may only need one syringe for a subtle enhancement, while others might require more for added volume or contouring. Since each filler has unique properties, scheduling an in-person consultation with Dr. Green will help her select the best dermal filler to achieve your aesthetic goals. This personalized approach ensures each treatment enhances your natural features while matching the level of change you desire.

Which lip filler is better: Juvederm or Restylane?

Juvederm and Restylane are both hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers commonly used by Dr. Green to enhance lip volume, restore facial symmetry, and smooth fine lines around the mouth. Juvederm Ultra is perfect for patients looking for a fuller, more voluptuous pout, while Juvederm Volbella provides a softer, more natural appearance. Restylane Kysse aims to improve lip texture, hydration, and definition. Restylane Silk and Belotero are excellent choices for treating vertical lip lines and achieving subtle lip enhancement. No filler is inherently better than the other, as each offers slightly different results. During your consultation, Dr. Michele Green will assess your lip anatomy and aesthetic goals to recommend the product that will produce the most balanced and beautiful results.

Which lip fillers last the longest?

Juvederm Ultra Plus, Juvederm Ultra, and Juvederm Volbella are the most popular Juvederm lip filler products. They typically provide cosmetic results that last up to 12 months. Patients can maintain optimal outcomes by scheduling regular maintenance treatments as needed. Most patients opt to have their lip filler refreshed approximately every six to nine months to preserve their desired look. However, the timing of maintenance treatments is completely customizable based on the individual’s needs and aesthetic goals. When working with Dr. Green, she will assist in creating a treatment plan that helps you look and feel your best.

What is the best lip filler?

This is a tricky question! The best lip filler for you depends on your unique facial features and aesthetic goals. Patients with naturally thin lips are often ideal candidates for products like Juvederm Volbella, which provide a subtle yet beautiful enhancement that looks natural. Others with fuller lips may prefer a more glamorous, voluminous effect with products like Juvederm Ultra. Older patients often seek to replace lost volume or address fine lines around the mouth. Since each person is different, there’s no “one size fits all” solution for lip filler injections. The most effective way to find the right hyaluronic acid dermal filler for your treatment is to schedule an in-person consultation with Dr. Michele Green at her private office in NYC. During your appointment, she will help you choose the best lip filler based on your facial anatomy, skin turgor, lip shape, volume loss, skin texture, and your aesthetic goals.

Which skin care should be used after lip filler treatments?

After lip filler injections, it’s best to follow a gentle skincare routine and avoid harsh products for at least 24 to 48 hours to promote proper healing and reduce the risk of complications. Stay away from chemical and physical exfoliants, as they can irritate the sensitive injection area and cause discomfort. Instead, choose hydrating products that help with healing, such as lip balms like Aquaphor or Vaseline.

What will I look like after lip fillers?

The “look” you achieve with lip fillers can be customized and is entirely up to you. Generally, younger patients seek to enhance the size and shape of their lips to create a fuller, plumper pout. Older patients often prefer a more refined and subtle lip enhancement to restore age-related volume loss and improve the lip contour. Some individuals also seek to correct unevenness or asymmetry in their lips. When Dr. Green performs lip injections, she adopts a “less-is-more” approach to ensure your results enhance your natural beauty. Many patients feel more confident after cosmetic facial injections, especially lip injections, as they experience a renewed sense of attractiveness. Lip augmentation usually involves minimal to no downtime, with little to no swelling or bruising. The results typically last between six and twelve months, depending on the type of filler used.

Where should I get my lip fillers injected?

Getting lip filler injections in a medical setting by an experienced healthcare professional, such as a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist like Dr. Green, is the best choice. This helps reduce the risk of unwanted side effects and ensures optimal cosmetic results. While it might be more affordable to have your lip fillers done by a nurse injector at a medical spa, consulting an expert can help avoid complications or unsatisfactory results. Dr. Green, an internationally renowned board-certified cosmetic dermatologist in New York City, is well known for her artistic approach to cosmetic injections, including lip fillers. Adopting a ‘less is more’ mindset when it comes to cosmetic rejuvenation, Dr. Green has helped thousands of patients achieve their aesthetic goals, helping them look and feel like the best version of themselves and enjoy long-lasting, natural-looking lips.
