Lip Filler 101: Your Top Questions Answered

Thinking about getting lip filler, but still have questions? You’re not alone. At Modern Aesthetics, we love helping our clients feel informed and confident in their choices. In this blog, we’re answering the top questions we hear most often about lip filler treatments—with honest, straightforward answers.

1. “Will I look overdone?”

This is by far the most common concern—and we get it. The answer? Absolutely not.
Our approach is all about natural, balanced results. Whether you're looking for subtle volume, improved symmetry, or a more defined shape, we’ll tailor the treatment to your unique features and goals. Think soft, hydrated, and naturally enhanced—not overfilled or artificial.

2. “Does it hurt?”

We do everything we can to make your experience comfortable.
We start with a medical-grade numbing cream, and Restylane (our preferred filler for lips) also contains lidocaine, a built-in anesthetic. Most clients describe the feeling as a slight pinch or pressure, but totally manageable.

3. “How long does lip filler last?”

Restylane lip fillers typically last 6 to 12 months.
Longevity depends on your metabolism, lifestyle, and how much product we use. A half syringe offers a subtle boost, while a full syringe provides more noticeable volume. We’ll help you choose what’s right for you based on your goals.

4. “What’s the downtime?”

After your appointment, you may experience some swelling or bruising, especially within the first 24–48 hours. Most clients feel comfortable returning to work or social activities the very next day. We’ll give you aftercare tips to minimize any downtime and help your lips heal beautifully.

Still on the Fence?

If you’ve been curious about lip filler but aren’t sure if it’s for you, we invite you to come in for a consultation. No pressure, no judgment—just an open conversation and expert guidance tailored to your needs. Take care of yourself—and your lips. You deserve to feel confident in your own skin.
