What Are Lip Fillers?

Fillers are made of substances that are either similar to materials found in your own body or are made of biologically nonreactive substances (silicone). Fillers are used to plump up areas where you have naturally lost facial fat volume, also known as atrophy. For instance, as we age, our lips naturally get thinner with time. A filler can be used to help fill that lost volume. Fillers can also be used to fill undesirable facial defects, such as wrinkles or grooves.

What to Expect on the Day of a Lip Filler Treatment

On the day of your lip filler in Salt Lake City, Dr. Urban and his staff will welcome you to Utah Facial Surgical Arts, settle you in a treatment room, and review your treatment plan in case you have any outstanding concerns. Finally, Dr. Urban will apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment.

Once you are numb, Dr. Urban will administer the lip filler injection. As he inserts the filler into the target areas, he will massage it into the desired position for a final, symmetrical, and aesthetically optimal look.

A lip filler procedure without complications typically takes fifteen to thirty minutes and should yield immediate results.

Lip Filler Recovery

After your lip filler treatment at Utah Facial Surgical Arts in Salt Lake City, you will receive ice packs to soothe the lip area and minimize swelling.

Patients are recommended to undergo the treatment on a Friday to allow the swelling to subside before work starts on Monday. Dr. Urban recommends a follow-up appointment in 2 weeks to ensure there are no asymmetries. Remember, the filler placement is very similar to the artwork.
