Many people are born with smaller lips, while others lose volume in their lips as part of the natural aging process. Over time, we tend to lose plumpness and definition in the area, and the lips may also wrinkle. Non-surgical lip enhancements, such as lip fillers or Botox, offer a quick and easy way to enhance or rejuvenate your lips, achieving that perfect pout.

Lip fillers offer a non-surgical way to enhance your lips' volume, shape, and overall appearance. Whether you're looking for subtle enhancements or dramatic results, Mathis Aesthetics provides customized lip filler treatments tailored to your unique needs. Schedule a consultation today to achieve the beautiful, youthful lips you desire!

What Is A Lip Filler?

Among one of the hottest injectable filler treatments of the past decade, lip filler offers both cosmetic and anti-aging benefits. For younger patients, lip plumping and enhancement are the most sought-after, while older patients may also seek to plump their lips and smooth out wrinkles around the lips—known as “lipstick lines” and “smoker’s lines.”

Hyaluronic acid fillers are almost always used for the lips. Semi-permanent fillers like Sculptra and Radiesse are not safe for the lips. Restylane and Juvederm fillers are popular and suitable choices for lip fillers.

How Do Lip Fillers Work?

Lip augmentation is most commonly performed using hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural substance found in the body. These HA lip fillers are smooth, gel-like formulas that are injected into the lips to plump, define, and correct lip shape.

Types of Lip Filler

After Botox, hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are still the most popular choice of injectable treatments. HA lip injections are proven to be safer and provide more immediate results compared to collagen fillers.

At Mathis Aesthetics, we understand that not everyone has the same shape of lips and not everyone wants the same size and shape! We offer four different ways to achieve the lips of your dreams, always customized for each individual.

What is the Lip Plump Mini?

Our Lip Plump Mini includes up to 0.5 cc’s of an injectable dermal filler made from Hyaluronic Acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. This soft filler can be injected into and lining the lips, looking and feeling soft and natural. Most people end up using the entire 0.5 cc’s.

How Much Does the Lip Plump Mini Cost?

The Mini Lip Plump® is $375. If you want to upgrade to the Full Lip Plump within a month of your original appointment, it’s just $350 to add another 0.5 cc’s. To upgrade to a Mega Lip Plump, it’s $600 to add an additional 1.0 cc’s!

How Long Does the Lip Plump Mini Last?

The Lip Plump Mini typically lasts 3-4 months. Many clients like to plump their lips gradually and subtly, building on their Lip Plump Mini every few months.

What is a Natural Lip Plump?

When you have a little and want it all! Our popular Natural Lip Plump will perfectly plump your pout! Our injectors use a variety of techniques to help you achieve the look you want. The Natural Lip Plump gives you a full pout while still looking natural and beautiful.

The Natural Lip Plump includes up to 1.0 cc’s of an injectable dermal filler made from Hyaluronic Acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. This soft filler can be injected into and lining the lips, looking and feeling soft and natural.

How Long Does the Natural Lip Plump Last?

The Natural Lip Plump usually lasts 6-12 months. Many clients like to plump their lips gradually and subtly, continuing to build on their Natural Lip Plump with a Mini Lip Plump every few months.

The Mega Lip Plump is up to 1.5 cc’s of an injectable dermal filler made from Hyaluronic Acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. This soft filler can be injected into and lining the lips, looking and feeling soft and natural. The Mega Lip Plump is recommended for very thin lips or those wanting a dramatic and full pout.

A lip flip is an injection procedure that uses a small amount of Botox to relax the muscles and reveal more of the underside of the upper lip. This creates natural-looking plumpness while covering more of the gums when smiling. It usually treats the upper lip but is occasionally used to enhance the lower lip too.

The lip flip is considered an alternative to lip filler, especially for those wanting a very small or subtle enhancement. However, the two procedures approach lip enhancement from different angles. A lip flip treats the muscles controlling the upper lip while lip filler directly adds volume to the lips. Both have their indications, and your injector can help you choose the one suited for your anatomy and goals.

Mini? Natural? Mega? Lip Flip? Unsure? It’s difficult to be sure about which lip enhancement is best for you, so the smartest first step is to schedule a consultation to discuss which option suits your goals.

Mathis Aesthetics understands that every individual is different. We carefully examine your current features and desired outcomes to create a plan that gives you the results you’re looking for!

Absolutely! At Mathis Aesthetics, our goal is to enhance your natural beauty. Your lips don’t look like everyone else’s, so it wouldn’t make sense to take a “one size fits all” approach to filler treatment. Our nurse injectors employ various techniques to give you the beautiful results you’re looking for.

Different Lip Shapes

When it comes to different lip shapes, all are unique and beautiful in their own way. Your lips complement the rest of your facial features, and like makeup, they can be accentuated to make them even more noticeable and attractive.

Some common lip shapes include:

• Full Lips: Equally full on the top and bottom.
• Heavy Upper Lip: The upper lip has more volume than the bottom lip.
• Heavy Lower Lip: The bottom lip is naturally more accentuated.
• Round Lips: The mouth shape is narrow and compact, creating a round shape.
• Wide Lips: The mouth is wider, elongating the lips from either side.
• Thin Lips: Very common and popular candidates for filler to add volume.
• Heart Shaped Lips: Fullness in the center of the bottom lip, creating a heart shape.

Types and Shapes of Lips

Whether you’re looking for full, plump lips like Angelina Jolie or a sexy and defined cupid’s bow like Rihanna, our experts can help determine exactly how much injectable you’ll need to achieve the lip shape you’re striving for.

One of the best things about lip filler—besides enhancing the look of your gorgeous new pout—is that the procedure is quick and minimally invasive. During the treatment, your Mathis Aesthetics cosmetic injector will apply a topical anesthetic (Lidocaine) to numb any slight discomfort you may feel. They will then use an ultra-thin needle to inject the filler precisely where you need it. The procedure typically takes less than an hour, after which you can immediately return to your normal activities.

Lip filler injections involve a slight pinch and stinging sensation during treatment, but it is generally not painful. An anesthetic cream is applied to minimize discomfort. You may experience tenderness, bruising, and swelling after the treatment, which should subside within 24 to 48 hours.

Lip filler is not a permanent treatment. The longevity of your results depends on the type of filler used and your body’s natural metabolism. Most hyaluronic acid-based fillers last between 6 to 18 months. Regular maintenance treatments are recommended to preserve your desired look.

Common side effects include swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness at the injection site. More severe complications are rare but may include infection, allergic reactions, and uneven results. Choosing an experienced injector can help minimize these risks.

If you have a history of cold sores (herpes simplex virus), lip filler injections may trigger an outbreak. Inform your injector beforehand so they can prescribe antiviral medication to prevent this.

It’s best to avoid wearing lipstick or other lip products for at least 24 hours after your treatment to prevent infection and allow the filler to settle.

Avoid blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and alcohol, for at least 24 hours before your appointment to minimize bruising. Arrive with a clean face and avoid applying makeup to the treatment area.

The cost of lip filler varies depending on the type of filler used and the amount needed to achieve your desired results. On average, lip filler treatments range from $375 to $850 at Mathis Aesthetics.
