Thin lips, uneven lips, or loss of lip volume over time are just a few reasons people consider cosmetic lip enhancement. Whether you've always wanted fuller lips or you're looking to restore what age has taken away, injectable lip fillers offer a simple and effective way to enhance your appearance without surgery or downtime.

At Natural Face Clinic in Syracuse and Rochester, NY, board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Sang W. Kim and our dedicated aesthetic team specialize in natural-looking lip enhancement with nonsurgical injectables. With lip filler injections, we aim to personalize your results so they align with your facial features, goals, and overall balance rather than looking overdone or artificial.

What are lip fillers made of?

Most lip filler injections are made from a gel-like substance containing hyaluronic acid (HA), which is naturally found in the body and helps keep skin hydrated and plump. When injected into the lips, HA lip fillers work by adding subtle, soft, natural-looking volume to improve a range of common aesthetic lip concerns. Because HA-based lip fillers are temporary and reversible, they are often considered an ideal starting point for almost anyone looking to explore cosmetic lip enhancement with little risk and a high degree of customization.

What can lip fillers help with?

Lip fillers can be tailored to address a variety of aesthetic concerns. Some of the most common reasons to get lip fillers include:

  • Naturally thin lips
  • Uneven lips
  • Age-related volume loss
  • Fine lines around the mouth
  • Flat or undefined lip borders

During your consultation in Syracuse or Rochester, NY, Dr. Kim or one of our knowledgeable aesthetic injectors will evaluate your lips and facial anatomy to determine the approach for your desired outcome. At Natural Face Clinic, we are proud to provide a versatile collection of lip fillers designed to address a range of concerns, including JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA™ XC and Ultra XC for adding lip and correcting fine lines, Restylane® Silk for fullness and filling in vertical lip lines, and Restylane Kysse to enhance lip size and contour.

How long do lip fillers last?

Lip filler results are visible almost immediately and can last anywhere from 6 – 12 months or longer, depending on the product used and how your body metabolizes the filler. To maintain your lip filler results consistently over time, periodic touch-up treatments may be recommended.

Do lip fillers make you look fake?

One of the most common concerns we hear from patients considering fillers for lips is the fear of looking overfilled. At Natural Face Clinic, we take a conservative and artistic approach to lip filler treatment, listening carefully to each patient's concerns and using our advanced training in facial aesthetics to create results that look and feel like you — only better. By starting with a small amount of filler and adjusting based on your feedback and outcome, we are able to build volume gradually and maintain a natural, harmonious look you can feel confident about.
