Lip Fillers

Most of our patients in the Los Angeles area find lip filler injections quite tolerable. The products used often contain lidocaine, a mild numbing agent, and additional topical anesthetics can be applied. You may experience some slight pressure or pinching, but the discomfort is minimal and brief.

Typically, one appointment is enough to achieve your desired results. Some people schedule a follow-up session a few weeks later to fine-tune or add volume, but many are thrilled after their first treatment.

You will see the first initial positive results of your non-surgical lip augmentation immediately after treatment. As the injectable softens and settles into your lips, and as the swelling subsides, more and more of your final results will become apparent, and by two weeks out from the procedure, your lips should be looking incredible.

Yes! Many of our Los Angeles area patients love pairing lip fillers with treatments like Botox to smooth out fine lines around the mouth, or even cheek fillers to achieve that perfect facial harmony. At Aesthetic MdR in Marina Del Rey, your provider can craft a personalized plan that combines treatments safely and effectively, ensuring a natural-looking result without anything looking overdone or mismatched.

While lip fillers are generally safe, risks can include mild swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness at the injection sites. Rare complications, such as lumps, asymmetry, or infection, can occur. Proper aftercare and follow-up reduce risk and keep your results looking smooth and natural.
