Indications for lip contouring:

  • Asymmetry or other inborn and developed aesthetic flaws.
  • Naturally thin lips with inadequate volume.
  • Undefined lip contours.
  • Dehydrated lip skin.
  • Dropping corners and fine lines surrounding the mouth.

First and foremost, it's important to recognize that correction does not always involve lip enlargement. For instance, this cosmetic procedure can be used to address existing asymmetry in the lower or upper lip, conceal a scar, or smooth out wrinkles. Additionally, if you are unhappy with the visibility of your teeth and gums when you smile, this aesthetic issue can also be resolved through the injection of hyaluronic acid-based fillers.

But, of course, most often, girls (and even men) turn to the additional volume in order to make the smile more seductive and sensitive with the help of injections. Therefore, the lip contouring procedure is suitable for everyone who wants to correct the shape or size of their lips and at the same time does not want to resort to such aggressive methods as plastic surgery. Your gender and age (starting at eighteen years old) do not matter, but you should pay attention to the general list of contraindications that can become an obstacle to the lip augmentation procedure.

Benefits of lip contouring

The lip filler treatment at our medical center boasts numerous benefits in comparison to traditional plastic surgery:

Fast result

The effect is noticeable immediately after the introduction of the hyaluronic acid preparation into the tissues. A few weeks after the injections, it is possible to re-inject the filler (the so-called correction), which will bring the work of the dermatologist to perfection.

Security

Lip augmentation injections are absolutely safe due to the composition of fillers based on a substance of biological origin (hyaluronic acid). The risk of allergic reactions and complications after injections is minimal. Moreover, all drugs used by our specialists in the Royal Beauty Salon in Forest Hill undergo mandatory certification. And this means that we choose to use only proven fillers that do not harm health and have no side effects.

Fast recovery

After the intradermal injection of the drug with hyaluronic acid, a short rehabilitation period can be observed, which is associated exclusively with the process of inserting a needle into the skin (prick). After an intradermal injection, slight bruising and swelling may appear in the injection area. But don’t worry, they will leave quickly.

Long-lasting
effect

The effect after a session of filling the lips with hyaluronic acid usually lasts from two months to six months. The period can vary individually based on the characteristics of the body, your lifestyle, and, most importantly, the type of drug.

 

Contraindications for lip contouring include:

  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding;
  • Respiratory viral infections;
  • Chronic illnesses in the acute phase;
  • Mechanical skin injuries in the lip correction area;
  • Autoimmune disorders;
  • Use of blood-thinning medications;
  • Conditions affecting blood clotting;

If you have any of the aforementioned conditions, the use of hyaluronic acid-based fillers for lip enhancement is not recommended. Always prioritize your health and well-being.

What can you expect from the procedure?

The outcome is visible right after the filler is injected. However, it is important not to jump to conclusions, as some minor swelling may persist on the lips for a few days. During this time, the lips will appear significantly plumper and fuller. A follow-up lip correction is typically performed afterward. The final result of the procedure can only be accurately assessed once the swelling has subsided.

When performed by an experienced professional, lip correction is executed with such precision that the outcome appears as natural as possible. The gels we utilize are highly adaptable, meaning they can accommodate the complete spectrum of facial expressions while maintaining their effectiveness for an average of six months. However, the longevity of each product depends on its density and unique characteristics. Only your cosmetologist can provide you with the precise duration of the specific filler used in your lips.

FAQS

Most frequent questions and answers

Lip enhancement using a hyaluronic acid-based filler typically delivers results after the initial procedure. The full impact of the treatment can be assessed in 10-14 days, once any swelling from the injections has completely subsided. In certain cases, an additional corrective procedure may be necessary. The achieved effect lasts between 6 and 12 months, depending on the patient's individual characteristics, such as metabolic rate and hormone levels.

The safety of the correction procedure is ensured by the high level of purification in the fillers. A single session can address various issues, such as increasing lip volume, altering natural contours, reshaping, and providing smoothness, softness, and sensuality to the lips. A suitable filler is selected by the cosmetologist during an initial consultation, taking into consideration the desired changes, the patient's skin characteristics, and other individual preferences.
Safety is a crucial factor in this procedure. As such, only fillers that have proven their efficacy and possess quality certifications in the EU and Ukraine are employed for lip contouring.

A specialist at our salon initiates the procedure only after a preliminary consultation, which helps to minimize the risk of allergies and other complications following the injection. During the consultation, the practitioner also selects the appropriate filler based on the patient's needs and characteristics. Our Royal Beauty Salon exclusively uses reputable, certified hyaluronic acid-based products.

For lip augmentation in Forest Hills, we use French-made Juvederm products. These are high-quality, hypoallergenic fillers of different viscosity and volume (0.5 ml and 1 ml). The specialist will individually, depending on the desired result, select a drug for you from the line and prescribe the necessary dosage (from 0.5 ml to 2 ml).

Lip enhancement with fillers in Queens at Royal Beauty Salon is carried out by qualified dermatologists and cosmetologists. We use only certified products and adhere to all medical protocols for the procedure.

Juvederm products from Allergan contain non-animal derived hyaluronic acid, reducing the risk of allergic reactions to the dermal filler after injection. These products are always evenly distributed beneath the skin, ensuring the most natural result. The injection technique is also determined by the administering physician.

Before performing lip augmentation, the specialist will disinfect the area and, upon request, apply a numbing agent. Typically, this is a special cream with an anesthetic effect, which allows for a comfortable and pain-free procedure.

Following this, the doctor uses a thin needle specifically designed for dermal filler injections to administer the hyaluronic acid. On average, this process takes up to 30 minutes.

After the procedure, swelling might occur, which usually subsides within 2-3 days.

It is advisable to avoid consuming extremely hot food on the day following the contouring treatment.

For 2-3 days, refrain from using decorative cosmetics. Your doctor may suggest applying a special cream to your lips.

For 5-7 days, limit exposure to heat, including abstaining from visiting saunas, baths, tanning salons,or taking hot baths.

The outcome of lip augmentation generally lasts between 6 and 18 months. The longevity of the effect is dependent on individual body characteristics and the density of the filler used.

Only a licensed cosmetologist can select the right filler based on the specific goals and requirements. In addition to the filler's quality, the specialist will consider its composition and additional properties. It is crucial not to self-medicate or order a filler on your own. Beware of falling for marketing tactics, such as products labeled as "promotional." Often, such fillers are inadequately purified, which may lead to complications in the future. The product could eventually granulate and cause tissue fibrosis. Consequently, you might have to spend extra money to dissolve the filler and reintroduce a higher-quality alternative.




Contemporary dermal fillers, as opposed to older polymers, possess exceptional pliability. This means that when injected under the skin, they do not create an artificial or rigid lip appearance. With these products, your facial expressions will remain as natural as possible. You will be able to smile confidently and speak without any discomfort.




Any injection may cause minor discomfort, as the skin is punctured during the process. Generally, patients experience a mild tingling sensation. However, if you have a low pain tolerance, the specialist can apply an anesthetic gel to the treatment area. With this measure in place, the procedure becomes nearly imperceptible to the client.




While there are many specialists in aesthetic medicine, it is essential to seek out certified cosmetologists. Keep in mind that injections of any product must be administered by a medical professional who is trained not only in injection techniques but also in treating complications that may arise after filler injections. They must also possess an in-depth understanding of facial anatomy.




When it comes to achieving beautiful, natural-looking lips, the quality and moderation of the injected filler are critical factors. At Royal Beauty Salon, we prioritize natural beauty, whereby the lips blend seamlessly into the overall aesthetic. In such cases, just 1 ml of filler is enough to enhance your facial features. It's essential to note that during the first week after augmentation, slight swelling may occur, making the lips appear more voluminous. However, this effect will diminish over time, and your lips will acquire an ideal shape.
