Does lip filler hurt, and will it look natural?
Will my lips look natural?
A natural result depends on the amount used and where it is placed. Bring reference photos and say how subtle you want the change to be. Adding more later is simpler than removing filler.
Does lip filler hurt?
The lips are sensitive. Most lip fillers contain a local anesthetic mixed into the gel. Most people feel pressure and a few sharp pinches. Ask about numbing options at your consult.
How much does lip filler cost?
Cost depends on the product and the amount required. It is quoted at your consult.
What sets the cost of lip filler
Lip injections for volume, shape and lines
Lip filler addresses three common concerns.
Filler is not only for thin lips. Every option for thin lips is on one page.
Thin lips
Lips that nearly disappear when you smile. Filler adds volume in proportion to your facial features.
Uneven shape
Upper and lower lips that look out of proportion. Small, targeted amounts can improve symmetry.
Lines around the mouth
Fine vertical lines where lipstick bleeds. A soft gel placed along the lip border can smooth them.

“So clean and professional they’ll tell you what you need and what you don’t need.”
How long does lip filler last?
Most lip filler lasts about six months to a year. The lips move constantly when you talk and eat, so filler there breaks down sooner than in the cheeks. Softer gels also break down sooner.
The body absorbs the gel gradually, so there is no sudden change. Many people schedule a smaller maintenance treatment as it fades.
Lip filler swelling and aftercare
Your lips look larger for the first day or two. Swelling and minor bruising subside over about a week. The final shape is visible at about two weeks. The lip filler swelling guide covers each day.
- Apply ice wrapped in a cloth to your lips for short intervals on day one.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas and hot tubs for a day.
- Do not press or rub your lips unless your provider instructs you to.
Call us right away if you have severe pain, or if the skin on or near your lips turns pale, white or blotchy.
Lip flip or lip filler?
If your main goal is for more of the upper lip to show when you smile, ask about a lip flip. It uses a wrinkle relaxer, not filler, and adds no volume. See lip flip vs lip filler, side by side.

What is lip filler?
Lip filler is hyaluronic acid filler, a gel the body breaks down over time. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar your body already makes. Your provider injects small amounts to add volume, define the lip border or smooth lines around the mouth. At Magic FemTouch MedSpa in Oak Lawn, treatment begins with a consultation.

Questions
Lip filler questions
How long does lip filler last?
Most lip filler lasts about six months to a year. Softer gels and more active lips break down sooner. Your provider explains what to expect from the product used.
How much lip filler should I get the first time?
Many people start with a small amount and add more at a later visit. Starting conservatively shows how your lips respond to the gel. Your provider recommends an amount based on your lips and your goals.
Why do my lips look uneven after filler?
In the first days, swelling is often uneven, and the lips can feel firm or lumpy. This usually resolves over about two weeks. If the lips still look uneven after that, call us.
Can lip filler be dissolved?
Hyaluronic acid filler can be broken down with an enzyme called hyaluronidase. It often takes effect within a day or two. Ask at your consult how a correction would be handled.
Can I get lip filler if I get cold sores?
Tell your provider first. Lip injections can trigger a cold sore, so you may need antiviral medicine from your doctor before treatment. Do not schedule treatment during an active cold sore.
Can I get lip filler before a wedding?
Yes, with enough lead time. Schedule treatment at least two weeks before the date so swelling and any bruising can resolve. Avoid the week of the event.
