What is Lip Filler?
Lip fillers are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures and types of dermal fillers we offer. They work by increasing your lip volume with just a few simple injections. Most fillers for lip augmentation are made up of hyaluronic acid (HA fillers), which works to attract and bind moisture to the treatment area, enhancing the volume of the lips and addressing lip lines, giving you the luscious pout you’re looking for.
Some of the most common types of FDA-approved hyaluronic acid fillers that we offer at Sanctuary Cosmetic Center include Juvederm and Restylane.

Am I a Good Candidate for Lip Injectable Fillers?
Most of our patients who are struggling with volume loss, lip lines, or thin lips that aren’t proportionate with the rest of their face are good candidates for lip fillers. On top of that, you should also be in good overall health, have realistic expectations of treatment, not have any active infections, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. To determine if this is the right treatment for you, you’ll first want to schedule a consultation.
Benefits of Lip Injections
When you choose lip fillers at Sanctuary Cosmetic Center, you can look forward to a wide range of benefits, including the following:
- Non-surgical procedure: With lip fillers, you don’t have to worry about going under the knife with cosmetic surgery or with lip implants. The whole procedure involves only a few injections, ensuring you can get back to your normal activities almost immediately.
- Boost in confidence: Many patients notice a significant boost in their confidence after lip filler treatment. When you love what you see when you look in the mirror, that confidence will transfer to other parts of your life as well.

- Noticeable results: You’ll see results almost immediately after your treatment. It may take about a week before you notice full results, but some improvements are visible right away.
- Short treatment time: Treatment typically only takes 15-30 minutes, ensuring you can get back to your life very quickly.
- Improve the balance of the face: With fuller lips, you can also balance out your facial features and achieve better facial harmony.

The Lip Filler Procedure
Our lip filler procedure could not be more straightforward. To start off, we’ll cleanse the treatment area and apply a topical anesthetic to ensure you’re comfortable. From there, Dr. Rostami will use a very thin needle to inject the appropriate lip filler formula into different areas of your lower and/or upper lips. How many injections you need will depend on the results you’re looking for, but treatment shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes.
OUR STATE-OF-THE-ART SURGICAL FACILITY
Our private, accredited surgical facility offers you the opportunity for a comfortable, private experience with your procedure. You don’t need to worry about going to the hospital – instead, you can enjoy the amenities of our spa-like environment while you focus on yourself.
Lip Filler Results
After your injections, Dr. Rostami may gently massage your lips and apply ice to reduce any possible swelling. She will also give you detailed instructions on how to take care of your lips as they heal and the fillers settle. You may have some swelling, bruising, and tenderness, but these side effects will dissipate within a few days.
You’ll want to avoid wearing lipstick and other lip products for at least 24 hours and refrain from touching, picking, or putting pressure on the lips. Avoiding exercise for 24 hours and drinking plenty of water is also recommended.
As for results, you will notice initial improvements immediately, but it can take up to a week before your fillers settle and you see the final results.
