Lip Fillers in Pittsburgh

Enhance your lips with natural-looking fullness, balance, and definition with lip fillers in Pittsburgh.

Lip Augmentation Overview

What Is Lip Augmentation?

Lip augmentation is a non-surgical treatment that enhances lip volume, symmetry, and smoothness using injectable fillers or neuromodulators. Most fillers contain hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance that attracts water molecules, restoring youthful plumpness and softness. Leong Aesthetics injectors often employ a blunt-tipped cannula technique to ensure precision, safety, and comfort, thereby minimizing bruising and swelling. The result is a subtle yet defined enhancement—never overfilled, always elegant.

What to Expect Before, During, and After Lip Augmentation

Consultation

Your journey begins with a detailed consultation to discuss goals, review treatment options (fillers, lip flip, or a combination), and design a customized plan
Pricing varies depending on the type of injectable used and the amount needed

Procedure

Numbing cream may be applied for comfort
Fillers are administered with either a fine needle or a blunt-tipped cannula for precision and safety
For lip flips, small amounts of neuromodulator (BOTOX, Dysport, or Daxxify) are injected around the lip border to relax muscles and gently “flip” the lip outward

Recovery & Results

Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur but typically resolves within 24–48 hours
Results are visible immediately, with full integration of fillers after 1–2 weeks
Most patients enjoy results lasting 12–18 months, depending on product type and individual metabolism

Lip Augmentation FAQ

How long does a lip augmentation appointment usually take?

Most treatments take 30 to 45 minutes, including preparation and numbing time. You’ll be able to return to normal activities right away, making it easy to schedule during a busy day.

When will I see my final results?

You’ll notice immediate enhancement, but your lips may look slightly fuller at first due to swelling. True results typically settle within 7–14 days, when the filler integrates naturally into the tissue.

Are there risks with lip augmentation?

As with any injectable treatment, potential risks include swelling, bruising, tenderness, and temporary asymmetry. Rare complications include vascular occlusion or infection. At Leong Aesthetics, the use of advanced techniques, such as the cannula method, significantly reduces these risks.

Will my lips still move and feel natural after treatment?

Yes. Modern fillers are designed to integrate seamlessly into soft tissue, so your lips will look and feel natural. You’ll still be able to smile, speak, and kiss comfortably.

How much filler will I need for natural-looking lips?

This varies by patient. Some need as little as half a syringe for subtle hydration, while others benefit from a full syringe or more for definition and balance. Your injector will tailor the amount to your anatomy and goals.

What happens if I don’t like my results?

One of the advantages of hyaluronic acid fillers is that they are reversible. If desired, an enzyme called hyaluronidase can dissolve the filler, allowing adjustments or removal.

Can I get lip augmentation if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?

No. For safety reasons, injectable treatments are not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. You’ll need to wait until after these stages to pursue treatment.

Do lip fillers cause the skin to stretch over time?

No. Hyaluronic acid fillers add volume without permanently stretching the skin. In fact, some patients notice an improvement in lip hydration and skin quality, even after the filler has dissolved.

How do I maintain my results?

Most patients return for maintenance every 9–18 months, depending on how quickly their body metabolizes filler. Regular touch-ups help prevent results from fully fading and maintain a consistent lip shape and volume.

Can lip fillers be combined with skincare or resurfacing treatments?

Absolutely. Many patients combine lip fillers with laser resurfacing, microneedling, or chemical peels to rejuvenate the skin around the mouth, achieving a smoother, more youthful appearance. Combining treatments ensures a balanced, natural result.
