What Are Lip Injections?
Lip injections are performed using dermal fillers, typically hyaluronic acid-based fillers like JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, and Belotero Balance®. These fillers are injected into the lips to provide added volume, shape, and definition. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to hydrate and plump the skin, making it an ideal choice for enhancing the lips.
During the procedure, Dr. Hilinski will carefully inject the filler into targeted areas of the lips, shaping and contouring them to meet your specific goals. The process is quick, minimally invasive, and requires little to no downtime.

What to Expect from the Procedure
Lip injections are performed in the comfort of Dr. Hilinski’s San Diego office. The procedure typically begins with a consultation, where Dr. Hilinski will assess your lips and discuss your aesthetic goals. A numbing cream or local anesthesia may be applied to ensure your comfort during the injections.
Using fine needles, the dermal filler is then injected into specific areas of the lips to enhance volume, define the lip borders, and improve symmetry. The procedure is relatively quick, often taking 15 to 30 minutes.
After the treatment, you may experience mild swelling or bruising, which usually subsides within a few days. The final results will become visible as the swelling goes down, leaving you with beautifully enhanced lips.

Most patients notice immediate improvements in lip volume and shape, with the full results becoming apparent once the swelling subsides. Results from lip injections can last between six to twelve months, after which you may choose to schedule follow-up treatments to maintain your enhanced appearance.
