What to Know Before Getting Lip Filler: Your Questions Answered

 What Are Lip Fillers?

Lip fillers are injectable treatments—most commonly made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your body—that enhance the volume, shape, and definition of your lips. The results can be subtle or more dramatic, depending on your goals.

 How Long Does It Take?

The procedure itself typically takes about 20–30 minutes. You'll have a consultation beforehand to discuss your desired look and review any medical considerations.

How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?

Results generally last 6–12 months, depending on the type of filler used, your metabolism, and lifestyle factors like sun exposure and hydration.

Will It Hurt?

Most clients say lip filler feels like a quick pinch or pressure. At Bella Via, we use a topical numbing cream and gentle technique to keep discomfort to a minimum.

Will I Still Look Like “Me”?

Absolutely. Our expert injectors specialize in natural-looking enhancements—whether you're after a little hydration boost or a fuller pout, your lips will still feel like you.

What About Downtime?

Some mild swelling or bruising is normal for the first 24–72 hours. We recommend scheduling your treatment at least a week before any major events.

Pre- & Post-Treatment Tips

Before:

• Avoid blood thinners like aspirin, alcohol, or fish oil for 48 hours.
• Hydrate and come in with a clean face.

After:

• Use ice if needed for swelling.
• Avoid intense exercise, saunas, or kissing (yes!) for 24 hours.
• Follow all aftercare provided by your injector.
