Lip Fillers Mount Pleasant Charleston SC

When you arrive for your lip filler consult, we will discuss what your desired look is and what will look most aesthetically pleasing and natural for your specific facial features. The best aesthetic practice is to interweave the clients desires but keep the harmony and balance of your face in mind. We will also discuss the filler consent and go over the risks, benefits, and expected outcomes.

In order to achieve the best results, lip filler should be done over two consecutive treatments, spaced 2-3 weeks apart. Why do I do it this way? Over filling of lips can result in trauma, vascular occlusion, migration of filler, and can impart that dreaded sausage or duck lip appearance. The lip area is very sensitive and is prone to swelling and bruising. The swelling can distort the final results and make it more difficult to create perfection. To ensure the most beautiful results, gradual is better. You will have to trust me on that.

The average hyaluronic lip filler will last for 9 months to a year, and in some cases, it may last even longer. The duration depends on your genetics, lifestyle, and metabolism.

I get this question asked often. Many people are confused by the difference between fillers and toxins. Let’s start by saying, there is a huge difference. Wrinkle Relaxers are composed of the toxin that works on the muscle to inhibit its full movement, thus smoothing out the lines and wrinkles that lay on top of the muscles targeted. Filler is usually composed of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in our tissues. Facial filler composed of hyaluronic acid is often used to create volume, fullness, and structure to areas of the face. They can help contour cheekbones, soften lines around the nose and mouth and provide added volume to the lips. Dermal fillers target volume loss rather than muscle-related wrinkles. When used in conjunction, fillers and anti-wrinkle injections can produce beautiful, natural looking skin rejuvenation. At TEAL Elite Med Spa in Mt. Pleasant, SC, we only use fillers containing hyaluronic acid. They are safer and can be reversed if needed. Our philosophy also includes delivering natural looking enhancements and results.
