Lip Filler

Lip filler is a non-surgical injectable treatment that adds volume, definition, and shape to the lips using FDA-approved hyaluronic acid products. Dr. Scott Sackman performs lip filler injections at Enhancements Facial Plastic Surgery in Bethlehem Township, PA, with a focus on natural, balanced results that match the rest of the face.

Dr. Sackman prefers Restylane Silk® and Belotero® for the lips because both products are formulated specifically for delicate lip tissue and produce a soft, smooth result without visible lumps or that overdone "duck lip" look that gives away cheap injections.

The procedure is quick (about 15 to 20 minutes), nearly painless with topical numbing, and produces immediate results. Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Some swelling and minor bruising are common for the first few days.

Lip filler can be subtle (just enhancing the natural lip line and adding a small amount of volume) or more dramatic (creating significantly fuller lips). The choice is yours, and Dr. Sackman will discuss what looks proportional for your face during consultation. Results typically last 6 to 12 months, after which a touch-up can extend the effect.

Lip filler is often combined with treatments around the mouth such as Botox for vertical lipstick lines or fillers for the nasolabial folds, since these areas all contribute to a youthful, well-balanced lower face.
