Want Fuller, Smoother, More Hydrated Lips?

Here’s What to Expect at Retro Health & Aesthetics

If you’ve been considering lip filler, you probably have a few questions:

  • What exactly is lip filler?
  • How long does it last?
  • Will I still look like myself?

These are all great questions—and we’re here to help.

At Retro Health & Aesthetics, our goal is to enhance your natural beauty while creating balanced, beautiful results that complement your unique features.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lip Filler

What Is Lip Filler?

Lip filler is an injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) gel used to enhance lip volume, improve shape and symmetry, and increase hydration. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in your body that helps retain moisture and support healthy, youthful-looking skin.

Because HA is naturally found in the body, it integrates smoothly with your tissue for soft, natural-looking results.

At Retro Health & Aesthetics, we use the Teoxane RHA® Collection of dermal fillers, designed to adapt to your natural facial movements while maintaining a beautiful appearance.

How Long Does Lip Filler Last?

Most lip fillers last between 6–12 months, depending on factors such as:

  • Your body’s metabolism
  • The product used
  • Lifestyle factors and activity level

Results are visible immediately after treatment, although swelling is expected. Your final results are typically seen after 10–14 days once the filler has settled.

What Happens During My Consultation?

Every lip filler treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation. During this visit, we will:

  • Review your medical history
  • Determine if you’re an appropriate candidate for treatment
  • Discuss your aesthetic goals
  • Review the risks, benefits, and expected outcomes of dermal filler treatment

What Should I Expect During My Appointment?

Your lip filler appointment typically takes about 45–60 minutes from start to finish.

Consultation & Planning

We’ll discuss your goals, review your medical history, and determine the best treatment approach for your desired outcome.

Topical Numbing

A numbing cream is applied before treatment to maximize your comfort.

The Injection Process

Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how quick the treatment is. The fillers we use also contain lidocaine, which helps keep the area comfortable throughout the procedure.

Immediately After Treatment

Some swelling and mild bruising are normal and expected. Your lips will appear fuller immediately after treatment than they will once healed. Most swelling subsides within the first week.
