Are Lip Fillers Painful?

The majority of our patients report tolerating the procedure well. Before treatment, our trained providers will inject a numbing cream to minimize pain and soreness. While some patients experience swelling and sensitivity, most report that any discomfort is manageable.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

The number of appointments you need will vary according to your desired aesthetic goals and recommended treatment plan. However, most patients only need one session to achieve the desired volume in their lips. In your private consultation, you can discuss the necessity of follow-up appointments for maintenance enhancements.

How Long Until I See Results?

Results for lip fillers are immediate and quick. The full effect of your treatment will be apparent after a few days when the swelling reduces, leaving you with full and plump lips! Lip injections typically last 6 to 12 months. Please follow your provider’s aftercare instructions to maintain your lip fillers longer between touch-up sessions.

Can I Combine Lip Fillers with Other Procedures?

Yes. Lip fillers can be combined safely with other procedures such as BOTOX or other facial fillers to achieve a completely refreshed, youthful appearance. Please schedule a consultation with our trained providers for recommendations on which treatments work best to achieve your desired look.

What are the Risks Associated with Lip Fillers?

While side effects are temporary and complications are usually rare, lip fillers do carry potential risks, such as the following: Filler migration (where the filler may disperse towards other areas of the face) Asymmetrical appearance Bleeding Bruising Nausea Pain or swelling at the injection site Further complications may include the following: Tissue death Inflammatory reactions Skin damage leading to scarring and infection Formation of lumps or bumps Numbness in the treatment area Discoloration Weakness Discomfort Embolic pain requiring immediate medical attention At the Kaga Academy, we aim to minimize risk to your health as much as possible.

Introduction to Lip Fillers

Since the dawn of cinema, our society has become fascinated with achieving that ‘picture-perfect’ appearance. While makeup does a lot of the heavy lifting, one area that’s difficult to alter with makeup alone is the lips. For patients who feel they have thin lips, or “bird lips”, our team can improve the contour of your lips to express a fuller pout or fix age-related volume loss with dermal fillers.

The Kaga Academy is located in Red Bank, New Jersey, and conveniently sees lip filler patients from Colts Neck, Little Silver, Fair Haven, Rumson, and other surrounding areas. Whatever township, city, or county you’re coming from, we look forward to helping you achieve the full lips that you’ve dreamed of!

What Are Lip Fillers?

At the Kaga Academy, we know that your lips can help define your entire face. As you age, your lip volume may decrease, and your lips may become smaller and thinner. That’s why we use state-of-the-art treatments to ensure our patients look and feel their best. Lip fillers are hyaluronic acid (HA) injections that target and enhance soft tissue volume. Lip filler injections help to minimize the natural aging process by augmenting volume and contouring the lips to your desired effect. The procedure is non-surgical and designed to provide natural results.

Get Started

what’s the
first step?

If you are seeking fuller lips, the Kaga Academy has you covered! The first step to assessing if lip fillers are right for you is to contact our trained and certified providers for a personalized consultation. During this consultation, we will assess your lips, ask you questions regarding your desired overall look, and create a customized treatment plan, along with other potential skin and facial enhancement treatments, at your request.

Lip fillers can be received on the same day as your initial consultation. If you prefer to receive treatment on a different day, our Patient Coordinator can help you schedule your appointment.

Please be advised to avoid NSAIDs or blood thinners like ibuprofen or aspirin prior to treatment to prevent bruising.

What to Expect on the Day of a Lip Filler Treatment

Come in with your best smile, and leave with a better one! On the day of your lip filler appointment at the Kaga Academy in Red Bank, our trained and certified staff will treat you with as much care as possible to ensure a comfortable experience.

To protect your skin and facilitate a smooth procedure, your lips and the surrounding tissue will be cleaned and marked with strategic injection sites. If you prefer local anesthesia or numbing ointments, we can happily provide those for a more relaxed experience.

Your certified provider will inject your chosen filler into the injection site and gently massage the product to evenly disperse it. The filler will be added in incremental amounts until both you and your provider decide you have reached even lips and achieved the desired shape.

After the injections, your skin will be cleansed again. The process is fairly quick, and you can expect to see instant results.

Lip Fillers Recovery

After the procedure, you may experience swelling or discomfort. We will provide you with an ice pack to help minimize these effects.

The recovery process for lip fillers varies depending on the individual patient and the type of filler used. Typically, most people can resume their daily activities shortly after the procedure. That said, for best results, please avoid intense physical activity for 24 to 48 hours to reduce bruising and continue to apply ice packs to reduce swelling.

Your skin may feel sore and achy, but this will subside within 7-10 days post-procedure.

Lip Fillers Cost

How Much Do Lip Fillers Cost in Red Bank, New Jersey?

The cost of lip fillers in Red Bank and the surrounding New Jersey area is determined by several factors, including the location of the treatment area, the severity of each individual patient’s case, the amount of product needed for optimal results and any other anesthetic costs
