Frequently Asked Questions
What is a lip filler?
Lip filler is a type of injection that adds volume to the lips. Lip fillers are popular with guests who would like to add more definition to their smile or would like to improve the symmetry of their lips. Lip fillers can restore volume to lips that have thinned out by the effects of aging and smooth fine lines in the lip area.
How do lip fillers work?
Lip fillers are injections that add volume to the lip to help provide added suppleness and smooth out fine lines. The effect of the filler is temporary, and the body will eventually absorb the filler, but its initial plumping effects last for 12 months or longer, depending on your metabolism.
How long does a lip filler treatment take?
A procedure for lip filler in AMARA takes 30 minutes to 1 hour to complete. It depends on how much filler we’re using. The lips are very sensitive, so the longest part of the appointment is numbing the treatment area.
Are lip injections painful?
When you come in for lip filler treatments, you shouldn’t experience any discomfort. We numb your lips ahead of time and the actual filler has lidocaine in it to make it more comfortable.
Will I need any downtime after a lip filler treatment?
You may need up to 4 hours of downtime after receiving a lip filler treatment. We recommend that guests do not work out for 24 after treatment. Abstaining from vigorous exercise prevents the product from moving outside of the treatment area.
How much lip filler do I need?
The amount of filler necessary depends on your anatomy and unique needs and concerns. Depending on whether you desire a fuller pout or a more subtle volume boost, your provider will create a treatment plan that gives you the results you want for lip filler in AMARA.
What do I have to do to prepare for a lip filler treatment at AMARA?
To prepare for a lip filler treatment at AMARA, do not take any anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen or Advil, or any supplements including St. John’s Wort, or fish oil one week prior to the treatment. We also ask guests to avoid drinking any alcoholic beverage 24 hours prior to treatment.
Is there any good advice for what to do after the procedure?
We advise guests not to drink any alcoholic beverages, smoke, or drink through a straw for the first 24 hours after having a treatment of lip filler. To reduce swelling or the chances of filler moving from the target area, sleep on your back with your head raised using 2 to 3 pillows. Make sure you stay hydrated as well.
When will I see results from my lip filler session?
You should see immediate results from your session of lip filler in AMARA. It’s normal for there to be some swelling or bruising at the injection sites that should disappear after a few days. Full results will be visible after 2 weeks.
How long will my lip filler results last?
The results of your lip filler session should last from 6 months to a year depending on your body’s metabolism and other factors. The lips are one of the most active parts of the face, which can cause the filler to metabolize faster.
