Lip Fillers Introduction
Full, luscious lips are among the most attractive and eye-catching facial features that a person can have. Unfortunately, many men and women are unsatisfied with the volume and shape of their lips. With lip fillers in Greenwich, you can safely augment your lips to achieve the stunning facial appearance you’ve always dreamed about.
What Are Lip Fillers?
Lip fillers are a popular cosmetic procedure in which fillers are injected into the lips. These injections add natural-looking volume to the lips while improving their shape and giving them a more youthful appearance.
How Do Lip Fillers Work?
Lip filler injections contain synthetic hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in your body. There are several available brand options for lip fillers, including Juvederm Ultra XC, Juvederm Volbella XC, and Restylane, each of which has its own specific benefits. Some lip fillers contain additional substances, such as collagen and autologous fat. When the fillers are injected into the lips, they add volume and definition.

What Should I Expect During the Procedure?
If you’re interested in getting lip fillers in Greenwich, the process will start with a consultation. During this consultation, Dr. Reinblatt will discuss the procedure with you and inquire about your hopes and expectations. She will also examine and measure your face and lips and gather information on any allergies or health problems you may have.
When the procedure begins, Dr. Reinblatt will start by numbing your lips with a topical anesthetic. At that point, the doctor will use a thin needle to inject the fillers into your lips in the areas where you wish to increase the volume and definition. In total, the injections should only take around 15 to 30 minutes.
How Long Is the Recovery Time?
After getting lip fillers, you’ll be able to leave the office and go about your normal daily activities almost immediately. Your lips may be slightly swollen, bruised, and tender afterward, but those symptoms usually disappear within a couple of days.
