Volume loss is one of the main age-related changes that lead to cosmetic concerns. Additionally, many people may have naturally thin lips that they may wish had more volume. With lip fillers, patients can have a quick solution to volume-related concerns without needing any invasive techniques. Our thin lips treatments in Greenwich are tailored for each patient, built using the expertise of a leading oculoplastic surgeon in Connecticut.
Patients can start by scheduling a consultation at Dr. Sohrab’s practice to learn more about thin lips treatment in Greenwich. We work individually with each patient to craft a unique plan for fuller, naturally contoured lips.
Most patients who want thin lips treatment will qualify. The main contraindications are active cold sores or infections. However, once these resolve, you can move forward with treatment. Some medical conditions may also need to be considered for candidates. While there is no upper age range for lip fillers, most FDA-approved lip fillers are indicated for adults aged 22
years and older.
One of the main advantages of thin lips treatment is the instant results. Once the injections are complete, volume is restored. However, associated swelling can influence how your results look. As swelling fades and the filler settles, your final results should be visible within about 1 to 2 weeks.
The duration of results will depend on the filler formulation. Most formulations we use will maintain results for about 6 to 12 months. The filler will break down gradually over this time, so maintenance sessions every 6 months are typical. Lifestyle factors can also influence how long results last. For example, filler may break down more quickly in patients with highly active
lifestyles.
Generally, patients need only a single session to see their results. We meticulously plan treatments to ensure patients see their desired results with a single treatment. With maintenance treatments, you can also adjust aspects of your plan to accommodate changing preferences.
Thin lips treatment costs vary across different formulations and brands. Total costs for a session will then reflect the chosen filler and the amount needed. Since this creates a wide range of possible costs, we provide individualized quotes through a consultation process that allows us to see exactly what you would need to achieve your expected results.
Thin lips treatment recovery is generally mild. Patients may have mild bruising and swelling, though these typically resolve within a couple of days. Generally, you can return to most activities the same day.
Thin lips treatment can result in very natural-looking contours. To achieve this, though, your clinician must meticulously plan the treatment, place the filler appropriately, and avoid overfilling. Considerations an experienced practitioner will take include:
