WHY LIP FILLERS?
Benefits of Lip Fillers
Lip fillers are a great choice for patients seeking fuller, plumper lips. The procedure is fast and simple, and can add shape, structure and volume to thin or weak lips.
Haruko Okada, MD
Physician & Owner, Stratus Plastic Surgery
Dr. Okada’s years of experience in non-surgical aesthetic and plastic surgery makes Stratus an excellent choice for patients considering lip fillers to enhance the natural beauty of their lips. There are a variety of fillers available, and an experienced doctor will be the best guide to choosing the one that works for you. At Stratus, we always aim for a natural but fuller look, respecting the anatomic subunits of the upper and lower lips to avoid an overinflated appearance.
Options for Lip Fillers
from our Columbus Plastic Surgeon
Dr. Okada will review all your options when you meet for an initial consultation. There are several different dermal fillers available to add to the volume of your lips. Dr. Okada uses the Juvéderm line of lip fillers, and often recommends Juvéderm Ultra XC and Juvéderm Volbella, depending on the type of look her patients want.
This cosmetic procedure is not the same lip enhancement as lip implants or lip augmentation. Dr. Okada only performs lip fillers and injections.
Your Questions, Answered
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT LIP FILLERS
Will my lips hurt after lip fillers?
Any injection can be painful, but the needles we use for these lip injections are tiny. We can also numb the skin first with a topical anesthetic. You should not feel any pain after the procedure, though there may be some redness or swelling, and in rare cases, bruising. This will subside within a few days. If you have any issues, please contact our office in Columbus, Ohio.
What are the possible side effects of using lip fillers?
Filler injections are very safe when performed by an experienced, American Board of Plastic Surgery-certified surgeon like Dr. Okada. Possible side effects and complications can include:
Pain, swelling or bruising at the injection site
(this will be more noticeable and typically peak after two days, subsiding after two weeks)Lumps or bumps
Itching
Bleeding
Reactivation of cold sores or fever blisters (herpes simplex) of the lips or area surrounding the lips
Infection
Will everyone know I had injections?
As with all procedures performed by Dr. Okada, the goal of your treatment is to deliver natural results that increase your confidence and boost your inner beauty. Your friends might notice your lips look plump and healthy, but they probably won’t know why!
