Lip Fillers Before & Afters
Quick Procedure. Lasting Results.
What is the lip filler procedure like?
You will start by meeting with Dr. GolBerg to discuss your aesthetic goals and plan the best approach for your lip filler treatment.
Before the injections, a topical anesthetic may be applied to your lips to minimize any discomfort. Dr. GolBerg will then use a fine needle or cannula to inject the filler precisely into targeted areas of the lips. The process typically takes 30-45 minutes. You may experience minor swelling or redness immediately after, but these side effects usually subside within a few hours to a few days. Most patients resume their daily activities right away.
Shapely and Stunning
What conditions do lip fillers address?
Lip fillers effectively treat several cosmetic concerns, including:
- Thin Lips: Add volume to naturally thin or aging lips.
- Asymmetry: Improve balance between the upper and lower lips or correct uneven lips.
- Fine Lines: Smooth out fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth caused by aging or sun damage.
- Lost Volume: Restore volume lost due to aging, resulting in a more lush, youthful appearance.
Plump It Up
What areas can lip fillers address?
Lip fillers specifically target the lips and areas around the mouth:
- Upper and Lower Lips: Enhance volume, shape, and symmetry for a more balanced appearance.
- Vermilion Border: Sharpen the outline of the lips for a defined, youthful contour.
- Cupid’s Bow: Define the natural curve of the central upper lip.
- Perioral Lines: Smooth vertical lines around the lips, commonly known as "smoker's lines."

Trusted Care for Your Lip Transformation
Am I a candidate for lip fillers?
Lip fillers are a great choice for most adults desiring an easy way to enhance the volume, contours, or symmetry of their lips without surgery.
You should be in general good health and have realistic expectations about your results. Those with severe allergies, active infections around the mouth, or certain medical conditions may not be good candidates for lip fillers. During your consultation, Dr. GolBerg will assess your health and discuss your goals to determine if lip fillers are the right choice for you.
Your Transformation Takes Shape
Lip Fillers Recovery
Lip fillers require minimal recovery time. You may experience some swelling, redness, or mild bruising around the injection sites, but these side effects typically resolve within a few days. To minimize swelling, avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, or alcohol for 24 hours post-procedure. You can also use cold compresses to help swelling resolve sooner. It’s important to follow any additional aftercare instructions provided by Dr. GolBerg to ensure optimal results.
Something to Smile About
Lip Fillers Results
Patients will enjoy fuller, smoother lips right after the procedure. As any initial swelling subsides over the next few days, your final results will become more apparent. The results of a lip fillers treatment generally last between 6 to 12 months. The duration of your results depends on the type of filler used and your individual rate of metabolism. Regular maintenance sessions help sustain your desired lip enhancement over time.
