This page shows before and after photos of actual patients who have had lip fillers with Boston Eyelid Surgery.
Lip augmentation is a common procedure in our office. Some patients have naturally thin lips and others have volume loss and lines due to aging. If you want really big lips, Boston Eyelid Surgery is not going to be a good fit for you and we recommend you search for another provider. If you want to add volume and reduce lines in your lips, but still look natural, then you are looking in the right place.
Patients are often scared of looking overdone or having duck lips afterward. Lips need to match a person's face. People with thin, narrow faces look really odd with large lips, while patients with rounder faces can often tolerate more volume. Subtle volume can also help reduce wrinkling and make lips look more youthful.
Patient 1 - Before and three weeks after lip fillers
These photos show a woman in her 20s before and after lip augmentation. This patient is young and of middle eastern descent and looks great with extra volume. Note how there is no duck lip appearance even though there is a lot of extra volume
Patient 2 - Before and three weeks after lip fillers
These photos show a woman in her early 50s before and after lip augmentation. Mature lips but nature are not as big as a person in their 20s. However, filler added in the right places adds subtle volume and shape and helps this patients lips look their best.
Patient 3 - Before and three weeks after lip fillers
These photos show a woman in her 40s before and after lip fillers. Her upper lip was disproportionately small compared to her lower lip, so more volume was added on the top than the bottom to improve the overall look.
Patient 4- Before and three weeks after lip fillers
These photos show a patient in her 20s before and after lip fillers. This patient had beautiful lips to start with and just wanted a little extra volume and shape. After the procedure, her lips are more shapely, but still look natural.
About lip fillers
Filler injections to the lips are usually performed in the office with topical numbing cream, but nerve blocks are also possible for additional comfort if desired. Most patients feel there is moderate discomfort, but that the pain is tolerable. The procedure takes approximately ten minutes to perform and can often be performed during the same visit as a consultation.
Lips are usually swollen for 2-3 days after the procedure and may look overcorrected during this time. We recommend stopping all blood thinners including aspirin, Motrin/ibuprofen and Alleve for at least two weeks prior to minimize bruising. Patients can drive themselves home after the procedure.
Dr. Kapadia can give you a price estimate at the time of your consultation, but most patients need one of vial of filler to complete this treatment. Our prices for filler injections are listed in the prices section of this website.
