Lip Filler
Lip Filler
Lip fillers are designed to provide your lips with volume and definition. They are made using hyaluronic acid, a sugar molecule naturally present in your skin that works with collagen to maintain your skin’s plumpness, hydration and youthful radiance. With lip filler, you can tailor your results to suit your personal style, from a barely-there increase in volume to dramatic plumpness.
As we age, our lips naturally lose their fullness and definition due to a decrease in collagen and hyaluronic acid production, leading to thinner lips and the appearance of fine lines around the mouth. Lip filler specifically addresses these changes by delivering volume and structure directly to the lips. It not only plumps and redefines the contours of your lips to your preferred fullness and shape, it also rejuvenates them for a youthful and revitalized appearance.
Our master injectors approach your lip filler treatments with a blend of artistry, scientific precision and skill. When you choose Arsenault Aesthetics in Lakewood Ranch our team takes the time to get to know you and your vision for your lips, and tailors your results so they are perfectly aligned with your goals.

Understanding Lip Filler
How Lip Filler Works
Lip fillers are a specialized form of dermal fillers, meticulously formulated from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring sugar molecule integral to your skin’s vitality. When this miraculous substance is injected into your lips it blends with your skin’s collagen and acts as a rejuvenating elixir, boosting your lips’ plumpness, hydration, and youthful appearance. More than just a cosmetic enhancement, lip fillers delicately elevate, contour, and refine the aesthetics of your lips, gracefully mitigating the telltale signs of aging.
The Aging Process and Lips
Over time, our bodies gradually reduce the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid, leading to a subtle transformation in the resilience, suppleness and volume of our skin. This is particularly noticeable around the lips, which leads to diminished fullness and the emergence of fine lines, which subtly alter their once-youthful appearance. Lip filler injections are a rejuvenating solution to this problem. A skilled lip injector, like those at Arsenault Aesthetics, will artfully sculpt your lips back to their natural, youthful state, or even enhance them to your desired splendor.
At Arsenault Aesthetics, we take pride in our expertise with lip filler. We are very experienced with popular brands such as Juvéderm and Restylane, and we ensure each treatment is tailored to meet your unique aesthetic goals. Whether you desire a subtle enhancement to rejuvenate your smile or seek a more dramatic transformation, our personalized approach promises natural lip filler results that beautifully align with your individual style and preferences. Choose Arsenault Aesthetics for your lip filler needs, and embrace the art of natural beauty with confidence.

Lip Filler FAQ
Lip Filler Duration & Effects
How long does lip filler last?
How long does lip filler swelling last?
Lip swelling is a common and expected part of the lip augmentation process. Typically, swelling will be most noticeable in the first 48 to 72 hours after the procedure. Icing the area and keeping your head elevated can help reduce swelling. While much of the swelling subsides within this initial period, it can take up a week for the swelling to fully diminish and for the lips to settle into their final shape.
Is lip filler permanent?
Lip fillers are not permanent - they are temporary treatments that typically last between 6 to 12 months. The fillers, often made from Hyaluronic Acid, are gradually absorbed by the body.
Does lip filler dissolve?
Yes, lip fillers, especially those made from Hyaluronic Acid (HA), are designed to naturally dissolve and be safely absorbed by the body over time. The duration before dissolution begins varies, typically ranging from 6 to 12 months after injection, depending on the specific type of filler used, the individual's metabolism, and how their body reacts to the filler. The process is gradual, ensuring a natural diminishment of the filler's volume. For those looking to reverse the effects of fillers more quickly, treatments like Hylenex can be used to accelerate the dissolution of HA-based fillers.
Do lip fillers last longer the second time?
Yes, it is possible for lip fillers to last longer after subsequent treatments. When lip fillers are administered for the second time or more, the cumulative effect of the Hyaluronic Acid can help to improve the structure and quality of the lip tissue, potentially leading to longer-lasting results. This is because repeated treatments may stimulate collagen production in the lips, providing a more durable foundation for the filler. How long lip filler lasts on your second treatment, third and beyond varies based on factors like the type of filler used, your metabolism, and your body's response.
Lip Filler Cost & Quantity:
How much is lip filler?
The cost for lip fillers at Arsenault Aesthetics starts at $750. It's important to note that actual costs may vary based on your specific treatment goals, the type of filler used, and the number of treatments required to achieve your desired results.
How much is one syringe of lip filler?
How much lip filler do I need?
The amount of lip filler you need depends on your current volume, your desired outcome, and the specific type of filler being used. Generally, most people achieve their desired results with one to two syringes. However, it's important to have a consultation with a qualified professional who can assess your needs and recommend the appropriate volume to achieve a natural, aesthetically pleasing result. During the consultation, you can discuss your goals, and the professional can tailor the treatment to your individual needs..
How much does it cost to dissolve lip filler?
The cost to dissolve lip filler with Hylenex starts at $200. This treatment involves using an enzyme called hyaluronidase to safely and effectively dissolve unwanted hyaluronic acid-based fillers. The process is quick, with minimal downtime, allowing for correction or adjustment of the filler results.
Safety & Health Concerns:
Does lip filler hurt?
Is lip filler safe?
Lip fillers, especially those made with Hyaluronic Acid (HA), are considered safe when administered by a qualified and experienced professional. HA is a substance that is naturally found in the body, making allergic reactions rare. The safety of lip fillers Safety is also esured through FDA approval for the products used in treatments. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks and side effects, including swelling, bruising, and asymmetry. Selecting a reputable lip filler provider who follows proper techniques and understands facial anatomy is crucial to minimizing risks and achieving optimal results. It's also important for individuals to discuss their medical history and any concerns with their provider before undergoing treatment.
What is lip filler made of?
Lip fillers are primarily made of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a natural substance found in the body that helps to add volume and hydration. HA fillers are popular due to their ability to provide natural-looking results and their safety profile, as they can be easily dissolved if necessary. Other types of lip fillers can include calcium hydroxylapatite (found in Radiesse) and poly-L-lactic acid (found in Sculptra), which stimulate collagen production for longer-lasting results. Each type of filler has unique properties and is chosen based on the desired outcome and longevity of results.
can you get lip filler while pregnant?
It is generally advised against getting lip fillers or any cosmetic injectables while pregnant. The safety of cosmetic procedures during pregnancy has not been extensively studied, and the potential risks to a developing fetus are not well known. Healthcare professionals recommend postponing cosmetic treatments until after pregnancy to ensure the safety of both the mother and the unborn child. Always consult with a healthcare provider before considering any cosmetic procedures during pregnancy.
Can you get lip filler while breastfeeding?
While there is no definitive evidence that Hyaluronic Acid (HA) lip fillers directly harm breastfed infants, the lack of comprehensive research on the subject warrants caution. We advise against undergoing cosmetic injectable treatments while breastfeeding. This cautionary approach ensures that any potential risks to the nursing infant are avoided. If you are considering lip fillers while breastfeeding, it's crucial to discuss this with both your healthcare provider and a qualified cosmetic professional to make an informed decision.
Can you get lip filler at 18?
Yes, you can get lip filler treatments starting at the age of 18. At this age, individuals are considered legally able to give consent for cosmetic procedures, including lip fillers. However, it's important for anyone considering lip fillers, especially those who are young and first-time patients, to consult with a qualified and experienced professional. The practitioner should provide a thorough assessment, discuss expectations and potential risks, and ensure that the treatment aligns with the individual's aesthetic goals. Choosing a reputable provider is crucial to achieving safe and satisfactory results.

Which lip filler is best?
JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC a choice solution for those looking to address lipstick lines, vertical lip lines, or lip wrinkles.
Similarly, JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC adds fullness to thin lips with results also lasting up to a year with optimal treatment.
Ultimately which lip filler to get will depend on your goals and whether you're seeking subtle augmentation or more pronounced fullness.
Can lip filler look natural?
Yes, lip fillers can look natural when administered by experienced and skilled injectors. Arsenault Aesthetics prioritizes facial rejuvenation that provides natural-looking results. The outcome of filler treatments, including lip fillers, depends significantly on the injector's expertise. Our Master Injectors at Arsenault Aesthetics specialize in natural results, and are artists trained both nationally and internationally on the most advanced injection techniques. Our priority is to enhance your look without overdoing it.
How often should you get lip filler?
How long does juvederm lip filler last?
Juvederm lip fillers, such as JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC and JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC, are designed to last up to one year with optimal treatment. The duration may vary depending on individual factors like metabolism and lifestyle. These fillers are specifically formulated to provide natural-looking, long-lasting results for lip augmentation and the correction of perioral lines.
What is the best lip filler for volume?
For adding volume to the lips, JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC is a great choice. It's specifically designed for lip augmentation to add fullness and plump thin lips, making it ideal for those looking to enhance their natural lip shape or restore lost volume. The results from JUVÉDERM® Ultra XC typically last up to one year with optimal treatment, providing a lasting, voluminous look.
What is the best lip filler for a natural look?
Can you get a lip flip and lip filler?
Yes, you can combine a lip flip with fillers for enhanced lip results. A lip flip involves injecting a small amount of Botox into the muscles around the mouth to relax them and flip the upper lip outward, creating the appearance of a fuller lip without adding volume. When combined with lip fillers you can achieve both a more pronounced pout and enhanced volume.
Whats the difference between a lip flip and lip filler?
A lip flip and lip filler address different aesthetic goals and utilize different methods:
Lip Flip: Involves injecting Botox or another neuromodulator into the muscles around the mouth. This relaxes the muscles, causing the upper lip to "flip" upwards and outwards, giving the illusion of a fuller lip without adding volume. It's subtle, enhancing the shape rather than the size, and the effects last for about 3 to 4 months.
Lip Filler: Uses injectable hyaluronic acid-based products like Juvederm or Restylane to physically add volume to the lips. This treatment can define the lip shape, increase volume, and address asymmetry. The results are immediate and can last from 6 to 12 months, depending on the type of filler used and the individual's metabolism.
While a lip flip offers a more subtle enhancement and is often chosen by those looking for a slight upward curl of the upper lip, lip fillers provide a more noticeable increase in volume. Some individuals choose to combine both treatments to achieve both shape enhancement and volume increase.
For more information, read our article on lip flip vs. lip filler.
Aftercare & Restrictions:
Can you eat after getting lip filler?
Yes, you can eat after receiving lip filler treatments, but it's recommended to wait until any local anesthetic has worn off. This prevents accidentally biting your lips or the inside of your mouth while they are still numb. It's also advised to avoid hot beverages or foods for the first few hours post-treatment to minimize the risk of swelling or discomfort. Opting for soft foods that don't require extensive chewing can also be more comfortable if there's any initial sensitivity or swelling. Always follow the specific aftercare instructions provided by your treatment provider for the best results and experience.
How long after lip filler can you kiss?
We generally recommended to wait at least 24 hours before engaging in activities like kissing. This waiting period helps to minimize the risk of infection and allows the filler to settle properly without being displaced. The lips may be tender, swollen, or slightly bruised immediately following the procedure, so giving them time to heal can also make the experience more comfortable for you. Following your provider's specific aftercare advice is crucial for achieving the best results and maintaining the integrity of the filler.
Can antihistamine reduce lip filler swelling?
Taking antihistamines can help reduce swelling after lip filler injections for some individuals. Antihistamines work by counteracting the effects of histamine, a substance in the body that can cause swelling and inflammation. This can be particularly helpful if you have a history of swelling or if you're prone to allergic reactions. However, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider before taking any medication, including antihistamines, to ensure it's safe and appropriate for your specific situation. They can provide personalized advice based on your health history and the specifics of your treatment.
Can you smoke after lip filler?
We recommend avoiding smoking immediately after receiving lip fillers. Smoking can increase the risk of complications, such as infection and delayed healing, due to its impact on blood circulation. Furthermore, the repetitive motion of smoking may affect the placement and longevity of the filler. To ensure optimal healing and the best possible results, it's advisable to refrain from smoking for at least 24 to 48 hours post-treatment.
How long after lip filler can i use a straw?
It's generally recommended to wait at least 24 hours after receiving lip fillers before using a straw. Using a straw involves puckering, which can put pressure on the treated area and potentially disrupt the filler before it has fully settled. To avoid affecting the results of your treatment, it's best to avoid any actions that apply direct pressure to the lips immediately after the procedure.
When can I wear lipstick after lip filler?
We typically recommended waiting until the swelling and tenderness have subsided before applying lipstick or any other lip products. This is usually within 24 to 48 hours after the procedure.
Can I drink after lip filler?
Can I take ibuprofen after lip filler?
It's generally advised to avoid ibuprofen after getting lip fillers because it can increase bruising and swelling due to its blood-thinning effects. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is a safer option for pain relief that does not have these side effects.
Can I take tylenol after lip filler?
Can I workout after lip filler?
Can you shower after lip filler?
Can I workout after lip filler?
Can you get lip filler while on accutane?
We recommend waiting until you have completed your Accutane treatment and for a period after finishing it—typically 6 to 12 months—before getting lip fillers or any other cosmetic injections. Accutane can affect skin healing and increase the risk of complications from injectable treatments.
Can I ice my lips after filler?
Yes, you can ice your lips after receiving filler injections. Applying a cold compress or ice pack can help reduce swelling and bruising. We suggest wrapping the ice pack in a clean cloth to avoid direct contact with the skin and apply it intermittently for short periods (about 10 minutes on, 10 minutes off) during the first 24-48 hours after the procedure.
Can I use chapstick after lip filler?
Can you vape after lip filler?
We recommended to avoid vaping, like smoking, for at least 24 hours after getting lip fillers. Smoking can slow down the healing process and increase the risk of complications. Vaping, similar to smoking, may potentially introduce harmful chemicals to the sensitive treatment area and can also affect blood flow, both of which could compromise the healing process and the overall results of the treatment.
Can I fly after lip filler?
Yes you can fly after receiving lip fillers, but it's recommended to wait a day or two to avoid discomfort from cabin pressure changes, which can exacerbate swelling or bruising. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
Can you smile after lip filler?
Complications & Solutions:
Can lip filler be removed?
Yes! Hyaluronic acid-based fillers, like those used in many lip augmentation treatments, are temporary and can be dissolved if desired. Hylenex, a hyaluronidase enzyme, is used to safely and effectively dissolve unwanted hyaluronic acid fillers. This option is particularly valuable for adjusting the results of lip filler or correcting overfilled areas. The process is quick, and the filler begins to dissolve within a few hours to a few days after treatment. If necessary, additional treatments with Hylenex can be performed to achieve the desired outcome.
Can lip filler migrate?
Lip filler migration can occur due to improper placement, over-injection, using inappropriate products, or inflammation. Because of this, it is extremely important to select a skilled injector who understands the correct techniques and products. An expert injector can minimize risks and ensure lip filler stays in place. Should migration occur, fixes include dissolving with hyaluronidase (Hylenex) or letting it dissolve naturally.
Why does lip filler migrate?
Lip filler migration can occur due to several factors: incorrect placement of the filler into the wrong plane of the lip, over-injecting which leads to the filler moving to areas with less resistance, using the wrong type of filler product for the lips, and inflammation in the injected area. Choosing a skilled injector is crucial to minimize these risks, as expertise and technique play a crucial role in preventing filler migration.
How can I dissolve filler?
To dissolve lip filler, Hylenex, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid-based fillers, is used. This treatment is effective for correcting undesired filler outcomes by returning the lips to their natural shape and size. At Arsenault Aesthetics, we offer Hylenex treatments, providing a solution for those who have had a previous unsatisfactory experience with fillers at other med spas. Consulting with our master injectors can ensure the safe and effective dissolution of unwanted filler.
