Lip Fillers

Lip filler typically lasts 6–12 months, depending on the type of hyaluronic acid filler used, your metabolism, and lifestyle factors. Many clients choose maintenance treatments once or twice per year to maintain their results.

Lip filler is very tolerable. We apply a high-quality, medical-grade numbing cream before treatment, and most fillers contain lidocaine to increase comfort. You may feel slight pressure or pinching, but discomfort is minimal.

Downtime is minimal. Swelling and mild bruising are the most common side effects and typically resolve within a few days. Most clients return to normal activities immediately after treatment.

You’ll see immediate volume after treatment. However, lips may appear more swollen for the first few days. Final results are best evaluated at 1–2 weeks once swelling has fully subsided.

Absolutely. When performed by a skilled aesthetic provider, lip filler enhances your natural lip shape without looking overdone. At Citrus Aesthetics, we prioritize natural lip enhancement and facial balance over exaggerated results.

Before your lip filler treatment, avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements (such as ibuprofen, aspirin, fish oil, or vitamin E) for about one week if medically appropriate. Avoid alcohol 24 hours before your appointment to minimize bruising. Arrive with clean, makeup-free lips for best results.
