Lip Filler
At M&W Aesthetics and Wellness in Chino, CA, we believe that true elegance lies in natural balance and proportion. Lip filler is a sophisticated treatment designed not to dramatically alter your appearance, but to refine, hydrate, and subtly restore the lips. Whether seeking to soften fine lines, enhance definition, or replenish volume lost over time, our medical providers approach this procedure with the utmost precision. We ensure the result is always elegant, naturally contoured, and perfectly aligned with our ritzy, high-end patient experience.
Injectable Gel (Hyaluronic Acid)
24–72 hours of swelling/tenderness; potential bruising up to 7 days
Immediate, with final result visible after swelling resolves (approx. 2 weeks)
Typically 6–12 months
Adding subtle volume, defining borders, and smoothing texture
Lip filler treatment utilizes smooth, injectable hyaluronic acid gels that are meticulously placed within the lips and around the vermilion border. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that safely attracts and holds moisture, making it ideal for restoring soft volume and hydration. Our providers select from a portfolio of high-quality fillers, choosing the precise product consistency needed to achieve a result that feels soft and looks natural — never heavy or artificial. The purpose is always to enhance your innate beauty and achieve a harmonious proportion with your facial structure.
Your treatment takes place in the comfort of our luxurious clinic. The process begins with the application of a topical numbing cream to ensure maximum comfort. Your provider will then discuss your final goals again before using a very fine needle or cannula to slowly and strategically inject the filler into the targeted areas. This meticulous approach allows for continuous assessment and sculpting. The procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, and while you may feel slight pressure, the treatment is generally very manageable.
Lip filler is a versatile treatment that addresses aesthetic concerns related to aging, structure, and texture.
These conditions include:
Volume Loss: Replenishing the natural fullness that diminishes with age.
Perioral Lines: Smoothing the fine lines that etch vertically above the lip (often called "smoker's lines").
Undefined Borders: Restoring a crisp, elegant outline to the lips.
Asymmetry: Correcting minor variations in shape or balance between the upper and lower lips.
Dryness/Texture: Enhancing the natural moisture retention of the lips.
A Naturally Enhanced Profile
The primary benefit is achieving a subtly enhanced, hydrated look that perfectly complements your overall facial profile. Our medical providers ensure the volume added is proportionate and realistic, delivering a result that looks elegant and feels completely natural, enhancing your ability to speak and smile with confidence.
Youthful Contours and Definition
Lip filler excels at restoring the crisp, defined contours that often fade over time. By defining the borders and smoothing the texture, your lips look more refined, symmetrical, and youthful, contributing significantly to a refreshed appearance without altering your intrinsic features.
Lip filler is an excellent option for healthy men and women seeking to enhance or restore their lips. It is ideal for those who value natural, subtle results and wish to address volume loss, definition, or fine lines. It may not be suitable for those with active oral infections, certain allergies, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding. During your consultation, we assess your anatomy and goals to ensure your expectations align with the sophisticated, natural outcomes we achieve.
Recovery from lip filler involves temporary, manageable side effects. Expect swelling and mild tenderness, which typically peaks within the first 48 hours and then begins to rapidly subside. Bruising is possible and can last up to a week. To support an elegant result, it is crucial to follow our aftercare protocols: avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and alcohol for 24 hours, and refrain from pressing or massaging the lips. We advise against major social events for at least two weeks to allow for the final settling of the product.
The results of lip filler are immediate, providing instant volume. However, the true, final result will be visible after the swelling fully resolves, which takes approximately two weeks. Depending on the product used and your metabolism, the effects typically last between 6 to 12 months. To maintain your perfected contours, we recommend booking a touch-up session before the volume has completely dissipated.
Lip filler is an art form that demands exceptional precision and an exquisite eye for balance. At M&W Aesthetics and Wellness, our providers are experts in advanced injection techniques, ensuring every result is natural, symmetrical, and completely proportionate to your facial features. We utilize only high-quality, specialized fillers within our exclusive, luxurious clinic setting, delivering the sophisticated enhancement you expect from a ritzy, medically-guided practice.
We prioritize your comfort. We apply a prescription-strength topical numbing cream before the procedure, and most modern fillers contain lidocaine, which further minimizes discomfort. While you may feel a slight pressure or sting, the procedure is generally very well tolerated.
Achieving a natural, elegant result is our primary goal. We use conservative, strategic placement and product selection to enhance your existing shape and restore subtle volume, ensuring the outcome is always soft, proportional, and perfectly natural—never exaggerated.
Because swelling and potential bruising can occur, we highly recommend scheduling your lip filler appointment at least two weeks before any major event or photo opportunity to allow ample time for the final, settled results to appear.
Yes, lip filler can be tailored for men. The goal is typically not volume, but defining the borders, smoothing perioral lines, and ensuring the lips appear hydrated and robust without looking feminine or overly plumped.
Yes. A significant advantage of using hyaluronic acid fillers is that they can be quickly and safely dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase, providing an important layer of safety and control over your final result.
The amount of filler required is determined during your personalized consultation. For a first-time patient or subtle refinement, one syringe is often sufficient. We focus on gradually achieving your desired look.
