Our approach is precise, artistic, and designed to enhance your lips while preserving your natural look. From volume loss correction to a soft, sensual enhancement, we’re here to help you feel confident — one smile at a time.
Lip Augmentation Experience
Lip Augmentation is a non-surgical injectable treatment that enhances the volume, shape, and overall appearance of the lips. At Nargiza Aesthetics, we use hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers (such as Juvederm® or RHA®) that mimic a substance your body naturally produces, offering soft, flexible, and realistic results.
The treatment involves carefully injecting filler into one or more areas of the lips — including the border, body, corners, or philtrum (Cupid’s bow) — to improve volume, definition, and symmetry. Our technique is tailored for balance, harmony, and elegance — never overdone.
A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort, and the injections are performed using an ultra-fine needle or cannula. Most clients describe the procedure as mildly uncomfortable but very quick, typically completed in 15–30 minutes.
Treatment Purpose
The purpose of lip augmentation isn’t just about having “bigger” lips — it’s about enhancing what’s already beautiful and restoring harmony to the lower third of your face. Clients choose this treatment for a range of reasons, including:
At Nargiza Aesthetics, we believe that great lips don’t shout — they whisper elegance. Whether you want a small refinement or a more noticeable transformation, your treatment will be customized to your anatomy, features, and preferences.
- Restoring volume loss due to aging
- Defining lip borders for a crisp, elegant shape
- Correcting asymmetry (uneven lips or side imbalance)
- Lifting drooping corners of the mouth
- Creating a fuller, youthful pout
- Adding subtle projection to a flat profile
- Smoothing lines around the mouth or smoker’s lines
Treatment Outcome
The results of lip augmentation are visible immediately, though mild swelling may initially affect the final look. Once settled (typically within 2–5 days), you’ll see beautifully balanced, hydrated, and enhanced lips.
Fuller, softer lips that still feel natural
Better definition of your Cupid’s bow or lip line
Improved symmetry and contour
A youthful, confident appearance
Smoother fine lines around the lips
Depending on the product used, your results will typically last 6–12 months. Touch-ups can be done as needed to maintain your desired look. Over time, consistent treatments may even stimulate collagen and improve your natural lip shape.
The best outcome? You’ll look like you — just more polished, expressive, and refreshed.
Am I a Candidate?
Lip augmentation is a safe, popular procedure suitable for many individuals seeking enhancement, balance, or restoration of the lips.
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have naturally thin lips or lips that have thinned with age
- Want more symmetry or shape in your upper and lower lips
- Desire a hydrated, plumper lip appearance
- Feel your lips disappear when you smile
- Want to correct lip lines or downturned corners
- Are looking for a non-permanent way to test a new lip shape
This treatment is ideal for people in their 20s to 60s and beyond — each with different goals, from subtle enhancements to fuller transformations.
Lip fillers may not be suitable if you are:
- Pregnant or breastfeeding
- Allergic to lidocaine or filler ingredients
- Experiencing an active cold sore outbreak or skin infection
- Diagnosed with certain autoimmune or bleeding disorders
Your provider will review your medical history during your consultation to ensure the treatment is safe and aligned with your goals.
Preparing for Treatment
A little preparation goes a long way in minimizing bruising and enhancing your results. Here’s how to prepare for your lip filler appointment:
These easy steps will help reduce the chance of swelling or bruising and ensure a smoother, more comfortable experience.
Avoid blood-thinning substances for 3–5 days: this includes aspirin, ibuprofen, alcohol, fish oil, vitamin E, and certain herbal supplements
Stay hydrated and eat a light meal beforehand
Pause retinol or glycolic acid products around the lip area for 2–3 days before
Reschedule if you have a cold sore, open wound, or dental work scheduled within 48 hours of treatment
Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face
Let us know if you are prone to cold sores (we may recommend a preventative antiviral medication)
Treatment Aftercare
Lip augmentation involves minimal downtime, but some swelling, tenderness, or bruising is completely normal. Here’s how to care for your lips post-treatment:
Some unevenness, lumpiness, or tightness may be felt at first — this usually resolves as the filler settles. Final results are best seen at day 5–7.
We’re always here if you have questions post-treatment or want to return for a touch-up. Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities.
- Apply a cold compress gently (15 minutes on, 15 minutes off) for the first 24 hours
- Avoid touching, pressing, or massaging your lips
- Skip lipstick or lip balm for 24 hours unless advised otherwise
- Stay upright for the first 4 hours after treatment
- Avoid intense exercise, alcohol, and salty foods for 24–48 hours
- Sleep on your back, elevated with an extra pillow the first night
- Hydrate! Your body — and lips — will thank you
Treatment Side Effects
Lip fillers are considered very safe when administered by a trained injector. Most side effects are minor, short-lived, and completely normal.
Common effects may include:
- Swelling or puffiness
- Light bruising
- Tenderness or sensitivity
- Redness at injection points
These usually resolve within 48–72 hours. Applying a cold compress and staying well-hydrated can ease any discomfort.
Rare side effects — like asymmetry, lumps, or vascular issues — are extremely uncommon and are addressed during your consultation. If needed, fillers made with hyaluronic acid can be safely dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase.
We take every precaution to ensure a comfortable, natural, and positive experience — and we’re always available to support you post-treatment.
Applicable Body Parts
Lip fillers are typically focused on the lips and surrounding areas, but there are several ways we can use them to shape and contour based on your needs:
Upper and lower lip body (for volume)
Vermilion border (for definition)
Cupid’s bow (for shape and symmetry)
Lip corners (for a lifted smile)
Perioral lines (to smooth smoker’s lines)
Philtrum columns (for vertical lift)
Our injector will assess your lip anatomy and proportions during your consultation and recommend the best approach for a naturally enhanced look.
What Our Patients Say About us
Frequently asked questions
How long do lip fillers last?
Results usually last 6–12 months, depending on the product used, your metabolism, and how much filler is injected. Touch-ups can maintain your look as desired.
Will my lips feel hard or fake?
Not at all. When done properly, lip fillers feel soft and natural. Once any swelling subsides, you won’t be able to feel the filler — just hydrated, plump lips.
Is the procedure painful?
We use a strong numbing cream and gentle technique to make the procedure comfortable. You might feel some pressure or a slight pinch, but most clients find it very tolerable.
Can I choose how much volume I want?
Absolutely! We customize each treatment to your preferences. Some clients want very subtle hydration; others want more dramatic volume. We’ll guide you through options that suit your facial proportions.
Will I be swollen afterward?
Some swelling is completely normal, especially in the first 24–48 hours. Most of it subsides within a few days, and full results are visible around day 5–7.
What if I don’t like how my lips look?
No worries — we use reversible fillers. If needed, we can use an enzyme (Hyaluronidase) to dissolve the product and restore your natural lip shape. But most clients love their results right away!
Can I bring a reference photo of lips I like?
Yes, absolutely. Photos are a great way to show us your aesthetic goals. We’ll use them as inspiration and tailor your results to your unique facial anatomy.
How often can I get lip fillers?
You can safely get fillers every 6 months or as needed. Some people come in for small “top-offs” every 4–6 months to maintain volume without overdoing it.
Will I bruise after lip fillers?
Minor bruising is possible due to the sensitive nature of the lips, but it usually fades quickly and can be covered with lip balm or concealer after 24 hours.
Can I combine lip filler with other treatments?
Yes! Lip filler pairs beautifully with Botox (for a lip flip or to treat lip lines), or even skin treatments like facials or microneedling. We’ll help you plan the ideal treatment timeline.
