At the Cohen Clinic for Plastic Surgery in McLean, Virginia, we are dedicated to helping you achieve your desired look through the latest facial cosmetic treatments. Lip fillers are a popular and effective non-surgical option for enhancing lip volume, shape, and definition. Dr. Cohen and our experienced team use advanced techniques and high-quality products to ensure natural-looking results that complement your facial features and boost your confidence.
Lip fillers are injectable treatments designed to add volume, enhance shape, and improve the overall appearance of the lips. These dermal fillers are typically made of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that helps maintain skin hydration and elasticity. Lip fillers can address various concerns, such as thin lips, lip reshaping, lip asymmetry, a more defined lip line, or lost volume due to aging, providing immediate and long-lasting enhancement. Lip filler may be used for lip augmentation on the upper lip, lower lip, or both lips.
Ideal candidates for lip injections are individuals who want to enhance the size and shape of their lips without undergoing surgery. Candidates should be in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the outcomes. A consultation with Dr. Cohen will help determine if lip fillers are the right option for you and develop a personalized treatment plan to achieve your specific goals.
The lip filler procedure is quick and minimally invasive, typically taking about 30 minutes. Dr. Cohen will begin by discussing your desired results and assessing your lips’ current shape and volume. A topical anesthetic is applied to the lips to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Using a fine needle, the dermal filler is carefully injected into specific areas of the lips to achieve the desired volume and contour. Dr. Cohen will massage the treated areas to ensure even distribution of the hyaluronic acid fillers and natural-looking results. The procedure is virtually painless, with most patients experiencing only minor discomfort. Receiving dermal fillers is a generally mild procedure with minimal pain and pressure involved at the injection site.
Recovery from lip filler injections is minimal, with most patients experiencing only mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites. These side effects typically subside within a few days, allowing you to resume your normal activities almost immediately. The results of lip fillers are visible immediately, with full effects appearing within a few days as any swelling resolves. Depending on the type of filler used, results can last from six months to a year. Regular maintenance treatments can help you maintain your enhanced lip appearance.
At The Cohen Clinic patients receive more than just rejuvenating surgical and cosmetic treatments. Dr. Justin Cohen takes the time to truly understand his patients and their unique goals. He gives honest recommendations and believes every result should be natural and personalized.
