Lip Injections

Lip fillers are made with a hydrating molecule called hyaluronic acid. This substance is found naturally in the skin, where it plays a role in skin volume by binding to water and filling the space between other skin cells and structures. In fillers formulated for the lips, the molecules of hyaluronic acid are kept small to fit seamlessly in the fine lines and smaller spaces that lip enhancement seeks to correct.

Using hyaluronic acid as a volumizing agent keeps any risk of adverse reactions to a minimum, and nearly eliminates possible side effects or the need for downtime. Some clients experience slight bruising or tenderness at the injection site, which fades within a few days, but their treatments do not otherwise inconvenience them. Dr. Huettner is available to answer any questions should you feel your lip injections are not setting properly.

Subtle facial rejuvenation is a frequent request among our clientele of all ages. Women and men alike want to maintain healthy, youthful-looking skin, but don’t want the changes in their appearance to be too obvious. Small adjustments made with non-invasive treatments are often the ideal solution. Injectables like Botox or dermal fillers can erase fine lines, volumize hollow under eyes or gently lift the brow, creating natural-looking improvements without signs that you’ve had “work done.”

Recently, another simple yet effective facial enhancement has been gaining popularity: injectables for the lips. Smooth, full lips with a defined border are a mark of youth and beauty. If your lips are naturally thin, have lost volume over time or are developing feathered lines at the edges, they may be detracting from your best features or making you feel less confident in your appearance. With lip injections, you can subtly boost your lip volume and definition to create the look you want.

With specialized injectable fillers, Dr. Huettner works with you to create lips that are aligned with your aesthetic goals and that perfectly balance your natural facial structure. Dr. Huettner offers two types of injectable fillers designed for the detail-oriented nature of lip enhancement: Juvéderm Volbella and Restylane. These fillers are safe and effective, with few possible side effects, no downtime and long-lasting results.

They can be combined with other treatments or procedures for overall facial rejuvenation, and results can be reversed at any time with an in-office visit. Lip injections with Dr. Huettner are fully customized for every client after a professional in-person evaluation.
