More than volume. This is balance.

Patients today don’t come in asking for dramatic changes. They ask about refinement—restoring shape, softening vertical lip lines, bringing balance to their features. Lip filler offers a way to make those shifts thoughtfully, without disrupting what already works.

At Belladerma MedSpa in Wall Township and Toms River, NJ, lip augmentation is performed with a personalized, medically guided approach. Our aesthetic specialists use FDA-approved hyaluronic acid fillers, a naturally occurring substance found in your skin, to create subtle definition and hydrated volume that responds to the way your lips move, not just how they look when still.

Most patients want a result that fits seamlessly into their face. That’s what we do best.

What Lip Fillers Can Address

Lip filler doesn’t have to mean full lips. For many, it’s about softening signs of the aging process, improving symmetry, or restoring shape lost over time. Common treatment goals include:

Enhancing lip borders and Cupid’s bow
Smoothing vertical lip lines around the mouth
Correcting asymmetry between the top and bottom lips
Softening the transition between lips and nasolabial folds
Restoring hydration and structure to thin lips

All treatments begin with a private consultation, where we assess facial balance, skin tone, and overall cosmetic goals. From there, we build a custom treatment plan using premium dermal fillers to achieve a natural, refreshed appearance.

How Fillers Work

Lip fillers are injected directly into the lips using a fine needle or cannula. The filler itself is made of hyaluronic acid, which attracts water and creates a plumping effect. Because this is a naturally occurring substance, it integrates well into the skin and gradually dissolves over time.

We often combine lip filler with Botox injections to treat dynamic wrinkles around the mouth or to relax facial muscles that pull the lip downward. This combination approach can lead to a more youthful appearance and a softer overall aesthetic.

To ensure comfort, we apply a topical anesthetic before treatment, and most fillers we use contain lidocaine to further minimize discomfort during injection. At most, patients report a slight pinch or pressure at the injection site.

Ideal Candidates

Lip filler may be a good fit if you’re in overall good health and want to:

Add volume to the lips without surgery
Correct unevenness in lip shape or proportion
Soften fine lines around the mouth
Improve definition without changing your identity
Restore hydration to lips that feel dry or thin

The best results come from a well-designed plan, not just product placement. At Belladerma, we factor in age, lifestyle, and facial anatomy to determine who’s a good candidate for treatment and how to move forward safely.

What to Expect

Lip filler appointments typically take under an hour, including consultation. After reviewing your goals and evaluating facial structure, we numb the area with a numbing agent, map out the injection points, and perform the procedure with care.

Swelling and bruising are common for the first 24–48 hours, and most patients resume normal activity right away. While minimal recovery is needed, we recommend skipping workouts, alcohol, or sun exposure for the first day.

Results begin to settle within a few days, with full integration over two weeks. We offer follow-ups if refinements are needed.

How Long Does Lip Filler Last?

The longevity of your filler depends on the type used and how your body processes hyaluronic acid. Most patients see results for 6 to 12 months. Softer fillers may wear off sooner, while firmer ones last longer but can feel more structured.

We often start conservatively, allowing room to layer later. If your goals shift over time, filler can also be dissolved and reshaped. No pressure, no permanence, just a treatment that fits where you are now.

Related Treatments

Lip filler often works best as part of a bigger picture. Here are a few popular pairings:

Botox to soften lip lines and gently lift the corners of the mouth
Skin treatments like facials or microneedling to support lip texture
Cheek or chin filler to balance lower-face structure

Our providers can help you build a phased, realistic plan to match your lifestyle, skin health, and aesthetic priorities.

Cost of Lip Fillers

The cost of lip fillers varies depending on individual goals and the amount of product needed. During your consultation at our Wall Township or Toms River location, our team will recommend a customized treatment plan and review all pricing details before treatment.

Lip Filler Frequently Asked Questions

How long before lip filler looks “normal”?

Most swelling resolves within 2–3 days. You’ll see full results in about two weeks.

Will lip filler make me look “done”?

Not in our hands. We focus on balance, not volume. Your lips will still look like yours—just smoother, fuller, and more hydrated.

Can I wear makeup after lip injections?

Hold off for 24 hours to avoid irritating the skin or introducing bacteria near the injection points.

What’s the difference between Botox and filler for lips?

Botulinum toxin (Botox) relaxes facial muscles, while fillers physically add volume. We sometimes combine them for a better lip shape and lift.

Is there downtime after lip injections?

You can return to daily life right after your appointment, though mild swelling or bruising is possible. Avoid intense exercise or heat exposure for a day.

Can I get lip filler with other cosmetic procedures?

Yes. Many patients incorporate lip filler into a broader treatment plan with other non-surgical options. We can help you schedule strategically to support your well-being and minimize overlapping recovery.
