Lip Fillers are an injectable dermal filler treatment used to enhance the volume, definition, shape, and balance of the lips. Unlike neuromodulators, which relax muscles to reduce wrinkles, dermal fillers add volume to the lips, providing a fuller and more youthful appearance. These fillers are typically made of hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in the body and can be customized to achieve natural-looking results.
The RHA Collection is specifically designed to mimic the natural movement and appearance of facial tissue and is incredibly resilient and durable in order to hold up to constant mouth movement. This collection includes RHA 2, which is specifically formulated for lip enhancement, providing subtle yet noticeable results. Additionally, Redensity is used for lip hydration, “smoker’s lines” and improving lip texture and overall appearance.
Juvéderm is a popular family of hyaluronic acid fillers known for their smooth consistency and long-lasting results. At Franklin, we use Juvéderm ULTRA and VOLBELLA to meet various lip enhancement needs. Juvéderm fillers provide flexible, natural-looking results that can last for several months.
Even as early as our 20s, the lips begin to lose volume and may become gradually thinner or less hydrated. Lip Filler treatment can restore youthful suppleness and confidence. Our Franklin, TN, Lip Filler patients can see and love:
Ideal candidates for Lip Filler treatment are patients seeking to enhance the size, shape, or symmetry of their lips. Ideal candidates are those who are in overall good health and have realistic expectations about the results. If you have a history of fever blisters or cold sores, you will want to pretreat with an antiviral like Valtrex, which your provider can write a prescription for. You may need to postpone Lip Filler treatment if you have rashes, skin conditions, or active acne in or near the treatment area.
Your consultation will be completely personalized, and we will provide a comprehensive treatment plan. To help with faster, more comfortable healing, we can provide a compounded physician's blend of arnica to start taking 48 hours prior to treatment and again after. In addition, we'll instruct you to avoid alcohol for 24 hours before treatment, smoking for at least a week, and for two weeks, stay away from blood thinning medication and supplements. Following these guidelines will help to minimize swelling and bruising during recovery.
To ensure optimal comfort, and since the lips are a sensitive area, topical numbing cream prior to treatment is available upon request. Your Lip Fillers will be injected using very fine medical-grade needles, and appointments typically take about 20 to 30 minutes.
After lip injections, swelling is common, and understanding the typical recovery process is important in order to know what to expect. While there isn't a set downtime, it's recommended to steer clear of extended sun exposure and intense physical activity for the initial 24 hours. Although immediate results are noticeable, the best outcomes typically show up within a couple of weeks.

Lip Filler treatments may cause mild discomfort or a slight stinging sensation during the procedure, but most patients tolerate it well. Lips fillers contain lidocaine for increased comfort.
Lip Filler injections are considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced professional. However, with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects, including bruising, swelling, redness, and allergic reactions.
Hyaluronic Acid Lip Fillers are not permanent and typically last for several months to a year, depending on the type of filler used and other individual factors.
While there is no set time frame, you will want to wait until any numbness has worn off prior to eating or drinking, which may take a few hours.
