What is Lip Filler?

Lip filler, sometimes called lip augmentation, is one of the most popular aesthetic treatments in today’s field of medicine. It involves using dermal fillers made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance found in the body, to add volume, contour, and hydration to the lips.

These dermal fillers are quick, effective treatments performed in the comfort of our Encinitas office. Using the latest techniques, fillers are carefully injected into the lips to smooth wrinkles, enhance lip shape, and restore a youthful appearance. Unlike surgery or implants, this treatment is minimally invasive and offers exceptional results without significant downtime.

Lip fillers are also fully customizable. Seeking a subtle refresh or a more noticeable transformation? Dr. Schoemann and our team can create a personalized treatment plan to match your unique needs and goals.

Lip Filler Benefits

Lip fillers can make a subtle, yet dramatic difference, improving both appearance and confidence. Patients often find that lip fillers not only refresh their appearance but also boost self-confidence and overall well-being.

  • Restores volume for fuller, softer lips
  • Defines lip contour and improves symmetry
  • Smooths fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth
  • Creates better facial balance in harmony with your features

Lip Filler Candidates

Lip filler is an excellent option for women and men seeking natural-looking enhancement without surgery. Ideal candidates include patients who:

  • Have naturally thin lips or volume loss due to aging
  • Want to improve lip symmetry and contour
  • Are in good general health without major allergies to filler ingredients
  • Prefer a non-surgical treatment with minimal downtime

You may not be a good fit for lip fillers if you are pregnant, nursing, have certain health conditions, or have a history of allergic reactions to dermal filler components. During your consultation, your provider will carefully review your health and aesthetic goals to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Consultation and Preparation

Every treatment at Schoemann Plastic Surgery begins with a thorough consultation. This is your chance to share concerns, ask questions, and talk about the results you’d love to achieve. Dr. Schoemann and our team will examine your facial anatomy, skin tone, and lip structure before recommending a customized treatment plan.

To prepare, patients may be asked to avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements to minimize bruising. Hydration and good skincare in the days leading up to treatment also help support a smooth recovery.

Your Lip Filler Procedure

Lip filler injections are performed in our Encinitas office. The procedure usually takes less than an hour, making it one of the most convenient aesthetic treatments available. It's perfect for a lunch break refresh.

A numbing agent or topical anesthetic is applied to keep you comfortable. The dermal filler is then carefully injected using fine syringes, with precise placement designed to enhance lip shape, restore balance, and add volume where needed. Because Dr. Schoemann is an expert in facial anatomy, you can expect results that look natural and fit harmoniously with your features.

This quick treatment fits easily into a busy lifestyle, and most patients return to normal activities the same day.

Lip Filler Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery is typically simple. Mild swelling, tenderness, or redness at the injection site is common in the first 24–48 hours. Cold compresses can help reduce discomfort, and most patients find that any side effects subside quickly.

Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, or applying makeup directly to the lips for the first day or two. Our team will provide aftercare instructions to ensure the smoothest recovery and best possible outcome.

Lip Filler Results

One of the biggest perks of lip filler is how quickly results appear. Patients often see some improvement in volume right away, with lips looking fuller and more defined immediately after treatment.

As swelling decreases, final results settle in within about a week. With proper care, lip fillers typically last 6–12 months before a touch-up is needed. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, protecting your skin from sun damage, and following aftercare guidelines all help extend results.

How Much Does Lip Filler Cost?

The cost of lip filler varies depending on the type of filler used, the amount of product required, and whether it’s combined with other aesthetic treatments such as Botox, laser treatments, or facials.

At Schoemann Plastic Surgery, pricing includes the filler product, the expertise of your provider, and the support of our medical spa team throughout your procedure. During your consultation, you’ll receive a customized plan and a clear cost estimate.
