What Are Lip Fillers?

Lip Filler is a non-invasive treatment option that enhances the volume of your lips using hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is a synthetic filler that mimics and stimulates the production of collagen, a natural secretion of the body that helps with the skin’s volume, flexibility, and structure. Collagen is our superpower to defeat fine lines and wrinkles, so anything that boosts or mimics its secretion will help create youthful rejuvenation. When HA is injected into your lips, it restores and even enhances this youthful plumpness of the lips and mouth area.

What to Expect on the Day of a Lip Filler Treatment

On the day of your lip lift in Greensboro, NC, Dr. Pace and his friendly staff will welcome you and get you settled in the procedure room, reminding everyone of the common plan discussed. Then, based on your comfort level, they will administer local or general anesthesia.

Some temporary marks might be placed on your mouth to ensure the targeted positions of the incisions are as per the consultation.

Once you are sedated, Dr. Pace will either create an incision at the base of the nose or hide it in the natural lip line. He will then manipulate the mouth to elevate it to the final placement, as discussed, enhancing the overall mouth on the face. Once finished, Dr. Pace will seal the incisions with sutures and bandage the area.
