The pros ✓ Immediate results You see a difference before you leave, and the final look settles in about four weeks. ✓ Reversible Hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved if you ever change your mind. ✓ You control the amount Start with a mini lip fill and build gradually. Nothing has to be dramatic. ✓ Quick appointment Most lip filler appointments take 30–45 minutes, and you can go back to work. ✓ Natural-looking Modern fillers are designed to look and feel natural once they settle. ✓ More than size Filler can improve shape, symmetry, hydration and fine lines without adding much volume. The cons ! It’s temporary Lip filler usually lasts around 6–12 months, so you’ll need touch-ups to maintain it. ! Swelling Lips are swollen for a few days, peaking at 24–48 hours. Plan around big events. ! Possible bruising Some people bruise, especially if they take blood thinners or fish oil. ! It’s an investment Ongoing maintenance adds up over time. Ask about memberships and promos. ! Rare complications Like any injection, there are rare risks. That’s why the injector and oversight matter. ! Not for everyone right now We postpone treatment during pregnancy, breastfeeding or an active cold sore.
