Would you like to have fuller lips without resorting to cosmetic surgery? 

Dr. Zwillinger offers hyaluronic acid lipinjections to reshape or plump your lips. 

Several factors accelerate skin aging in the mouth area: smoking, sun exposure, and, of course, the passage of time. 

This area gradually loses its natural moisture, which can eventually lead to the appearance of vertical fine lines as well as a loss of lip volume.

Hyaluronic acid injections can correct various types of imperfections. 

This treatment is tailored to each patient based on the anatomy of her lips, the shape of her face, and her age.

What is hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid is a substance that occurs naturally in the dermis. It helps keep the skin hydrated, helping it maintain a youthful appearance. 

The amount and quality of hyaluronic acid in the dermis gradually decrease over time. As a result, the skin tends to become more fragile and dry, leading to the appearance of fine lines. 

Hyaluronic acid injections can enhance the appearance of the lips in several ways: 

• Plump and enhance lips that may be flat or too thin
• Reduces fine lines

• Lift the corners of the mouth when the injection is administered at the corners of the mouth. Over time, the corners of the mouth fade as they recede into the mouth
• Correct asymmetry to restore a “normal” balance between the lower lip, which is sometimes fuller than the upper lip.
•  They reshape the Cupid’s bow to round out the mouth and redefine the upper lip.

What happens during a lip filler procedure?

Dr. Zwillinger, a cosmetic surgeon, will meet with you at his office during your consultation:

• discuss with you what you’re hoping to achieve 
• carefully examine the current shape of your lips 

Next,he will administerthe injections using a very fine needle to ensure maximum precision. The injections are given at various points on or around the lips to achieve the best possible result tailored to your face.

This hyaluronic acid injection procedure is virtually painless and takes only a few minutes.

What are the results after a lip filler treatment?

The mouth appears dramatically yet naturally rejuvenated and enhanced. 

The initial effects are visible right away, but it will take a few days to fully appreciate the results, as any swelling in the lips subsides.

You can return to work immediately after the session.

However, you should avoid sun exposure for the first 48 hours and also refrain from physical activity during this post-injection period.

The duration of the volumizing effect of hyaluronic acid injections can vary depending on several factors: lifestyle, the depth of the injection site, the amount injected, and metabolism.  

A booster dose may be administered one month after the first injection.

Since hyaluronic acid is completely absorbable, the results last an average of 6 months.
